Violet Labs is on a mission to revolutionize how complex hardware is engineered by building the home base for engineering teams and the connective tissue for their data. Hardware engineers today juggle dozens of disconnected software tools - requirements management, modeling and simulation, product lifecycle management, project management - creating silos that slow down innovation and introduce costly errors. Violet exists to abolish these silos by providing a cloud-based, no-code integration platform that fuses data from across the entire engineering stack into a single, powerful source of truth. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, Violet Labs was born from firsthand experience working on cutting-edge hardware programs at organizations like SpaceX, NASA, Google, Amazon, and Lyft. The team understands the pain of managing complex workflows across multiple tools and the critical need for a unified digital thread. Violet's platform enables hardware teams in aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, and other deep tech industries to seamlessly connect their software ecosystem, automate workflows, generate intelligent reports, and accelerate development cycles - all with enterprise-grade security and ITAR compliance built in from day one.

Offchain Labs builds scalable blockchain infrastructure for Ethereum. As the original developers of Arbitrum, the company has created the leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution that processes transactions off-chain while settling on Ethereum mainnet.

The company has expanded its product suite to include Arbitrum Nova for high-volume applications requiring ultra-low costs, Arbitrum Orbit for launching customizable chains, and Stylus which enables developers to write smart contracts in Rust, C++, and other popular languages. Offchain Labs also acquired Prysmatic Labs, developers of Prysm, the leading Ethereum consensus client. With $124 million in funding and a team distributed across 19+ countries, Offchain Labs continues to advance Ethereum's capabilities through cutting-edge research and development in scaling solutions, zero-knowledge proofs, and decentralized infrastructure.

Phantasma Labs is pioneering a new approach to industrial AI that transforms how factories plan and schedule production. Traditional manufacturing planning tools are slow, manual, and struggle to adapt to constant changes - leading to delays, wasted resources, and untapped capacity. Phantasma solves this by using reinforcement learning and digital twins to create AI models that simulate factory environments, learning optimal production strategies without requiring massive historical datasets. This "no big data" approach means manufacturers can implement AI-driven planning in just 4-6 weeks, with ROI typically achieved within 6 months. The company delivers production plans 10x faster while improving outcomes by 30%, integrating seamlessly with existing ERP and MES systems to eliminate disruption. By making industrial-grade AI accessible to factories of any digital maturity, Phantasma helps manufacturers unlock hidden capacity, boost EBITDA by 2-5%, and stay competitive amid supply chain shocks and economic uncertainty - all without additional capital expenditures. Backed by Momenta, RunwayFBU, and other leading investors, Phantasma is democratizing AI for manufacturing and ensuring every factory can compete in the era of smart industry.

We're building the infrastructure that powers autonomous financial transactions across blockchain networks. At Defuse Labs, we develop NEAR Intents - a framework that lets AI agents, smart contracts, and services interact seamlessly across different chains without the usual friction. Our team combines deep expertise in cryptography, decentralized finance, and artificial intelligence to solve real problems: fragmented liquidity, slow execution, and the lack of interoperability that prevents automation from reaching its potential. Most of us have been working in blockchain infrastructure since the early days, so we understand the pain points firsthand. We're rethinking how transactions should work in an automated world - creating intent-driven liquidity layers where chains sync in real-time and AI can transact independently. It's challenging work, but we're committed to building a decentralized future where financial systems are open, transparent, and accessible to everyone.
