Swiftly, Inc.

We're a team building software that helps transit agencies make public transportation more reliable and efficient. Most of us came from the transit world or have spent years thinking about urban mobility, so we understand how frustrating it is when buses don't show up on time or when riders can't trust the information they're given. We're determined to solve this problem properly by creating a data platform that gives agencies the tools they need to run better service. Today, over 200 transit agencies in 12 countries use our platform to share real-time passenger information with riders, manage day-to-day operations, and improve service performance. Our customers include major agencies like LA Metro, MARTA, SEPTA, MBTA, and WMATA. We've helped agencies improve on-time performance by up to 40%, increase passenger information accuracy by up to 50%, and analyze transit data 90% faster. At the end of the day, we're working to make transit a more attractive option for everyone who depends on it to get where they need to go.

The Boeing Company

In 1916, William E. Boeing, a Yale-educated timber merchant and aviation enthusiast, realized something profound: the Pacific Northwest's thriving timber industry and skilled workforce could power something extraordinary. After taking his first flight and recognizing the gaps in early aviation, he founded Pacific Aero Products Company in Seattle, driven by a vision to build better, safer aircraft. What began as a passionate pursuit in a converted boat house on Lake Union quickly transformed into a revolutionary force in aerospace. Boeing's first two planes, the B&W seaplanes, proved his commitment to innovation and quality, setting the foundation for a company that would reshape global transportation, defense, and space exploration for over a century. That initial spark of curiosity and determination evolved into The Boeing Company - a global aerospace leader that would connect the world through commercial aviation, protect nations through defense systems, and push humanity's boundaries into space. From those early days hand-crafting seaplanes to pioneering the 747, developing the International Space Station, and creating the CST-100 Starliner, Boeing's journey has been defined by a relentless pursuit of what's possible. The company that started with one man's vision has grown into a multinational enterprise delivering commercial airplanes, defense products, space systems, and comprehensive services to customers worldwide.
