Paradromics

About

Paradromics builds an industry-leading brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. The company's AI algorithms decode this massive amount of brain data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments for neurological conditions. Paradromics' Connexus BCI system helps people who are unable to speak due to ALS, spinal cord injuries, and stroke to communicate independently through digital devices by translating neural signals into synthesized speech, text, and computer control.

The company's high-speed BCI platform is designed for long-term daily use and has achieved industry-leading data rates of 200+ bits per second. With FDA Breakthrough Device Designations and approval for clinical trials, Paradromics is advancing toward human studies of its implantable technology. The platform extends beyond communication restoration to address a wide range of unmet medical needs, including paralysis, movement disorders, chronic pain, addiction, depression, and other mental health conditions. Paradromics has raised over $140 million in funding with support from DARPA and NIH to develop its scalable neural interface technology.

DI

Diagrid

We're a team building tools that help developers focus on writing code instead of wrestling with infrastructure. Founded by the creators of Dapr and KEDA, we know firsthand how complex distributed systems can be - that's why we created Diagrid Catalyst and Diagrid Enterprise. Our goal is to make AI agents and workflows reliable, secure, and actually workable in production environments, not just in demos. What makes us different is our open-source DNA. Everyone at Diagrid contributes to open source, whether that's submitting code, maintaining documentation, presenting at conferences, or helping users in Discord. We don't believe in vendor lock-in - our products work with standard open-source Dapr, not some proprietary fork. We've been contributing to Dapr since day one, and we're proud to be one of the largest contributors to the CNCF project.
