The world generates petabytes of video every day, and almost none of it is readable to machines. Frontier VLMs that can unlock this (like Gemini) are too expensive to run at the volume real industries have, too generic for any single task, and can't be deployed on-prem where sensitive video lives. We are building an auto vision factory: take video plus a customer's objective, distill a frontier model, and post-train a small open model that is SOTA on that one task and serve it blazingly fast. Our first product, Marlin, is a 2B-parameter open-weights video VLM that matches Gemini-2.5-flash on dense captioning and temporal grounding at a fraction of the cost.

Studio is a simulation lab studying how humans and societies respond to new ideas, and is building the first software models that can accurately predict that response. Instead of creating digital twins of survey respondents, Studio builds live market models of interconnected audience segments from real, traceable consumer-behavior data. Our simulations match live KPI outcomes like revenue and purchase behavior with over 97% accuracy for consumer-facing enterprises, higher than any synthetic panel, simulation lab, or traditional market research.

Lyon builds private foundation models for banks, insurance companies, and fintechs. Each model learns from the company’s proprietary transactions, payments, clicks, and customer interactions to predict credit, fraud, collections, income, churn, and lifetime value; and runs inside the company’s cloud, so its data and intelligence remain under its control. Lyon is already working with a major insurer and trained a model on 28B transactions for a fintech serving tens of millions of active users, identifying premium-card converters 4x more precisely than its existing rules; the model is now being deployed for credit.

Click builds useful services that meet users right inside ChatGPT and Claude. We're starting with a research service that provides external context that the built-in web search misses - like data from professional & social platforms, marketplaces, financials, and more. It makes research on people & companies even deeper with specialized, source-backed context beyond built-in web search, while enabling new tasks like comparing live flight fares right inside the chat.

Buildbox helps product teams improve the human-agent experience. We analyze user intent, agent behavior, and outcomes to find where users get stuck or lose trust, then turn those findings into ranked, reproducible issues. 

Agnost AI reads every conversation a company's AI Agent has with its users to find where it's silently failing and then turns that same data into custom models that run the agent better, faster & cheaper than frontier models.

Foresight builds AI-powered simulations of human behavior to help companies predict how people will think, react, and choose before making real-world decisions. It lets organizations test countless possible moves in advance, see how each one is likely to play out, and choose the strongest path forward.

Netter (YC P26) helps companies regain control over their data, so teams can pilot their activities with high precision. Most companies are sitting on years of valuable data, spread across different formats and disconnected tools that don't talk to each other. Netter brings technical capacity to companies that don't have an army of data engineers, and tackles their most complex data challenges. - A nursing home group was chasing unpaid invoices manually across disconnected tools. Netter centralized the collection workflows, automated reminders, real-time visibility, task routing. - A retail chain had years of loyalty card data sitting unused. Netter cross-referenced it with public demographic data to build precise customer segments and trigger the right promotions to the right people.

Advertising today is like trading in the 1980s pits: archaic, manual, and iterative guesswork. Humans update bids and keywords with noisy, delayed data using simple if-else rules that both break at scale and ignore stochasticity. Laurence advertises like modern hedge funds trade markets, driving a 15-40% improvement in net profit for Amazon brands within a month of onboarding.

Constellation Space is building the autonomous infrastructure layer for the next generation of space networking. As satellite constellations rapidly scale from hundreds of nodes to tens of thousands, traditional ground-based orchestration fundamentally breaks down. ConstellationOS bridges this gap by providing zero-intervention network handoffs, predictive thermal load-balancing, and sub-second optical routing. Our founding team spent years building and operating satellite systems at SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA. We started Constellation to solve the problem we kept running into: reactive monitoring doesn't scale. We are building the sub-second routing protocols and hyperscale load-balancing infrastructure that will manage the future of off-world telecommunications and compute. hello@constellation-io.com

DiligenceSquared delivers AI-powered market due diligence for investment decisions - like the $500k McKinsey reports, but automated, auditable, and at a fraction of the cost. When Private Equity funds evaluate deals, they pay firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain $500K-$1M for market due diligence. The process takes weeks, and the output is a static PowerPoint that's impossible to audit. A single large-cap PE fund can spend >$30M annually on this and the total market is $10B per year. Our AI agents conduct expert interviews and synthesize insights with every claim linked to source transcripts. No black box, no "trust me" slides, and no 10x mark-up for human labor. Frederik bought these reports as a Principal at Blackstone. Soren sold them as a Principal at BCG. Harshil is a repeat founder and former Software Engineer at Google. We've seen both sides and know what matters in due diligence - and now we automate it. Our clients already include 8 leading private equity funds with over $2.4 trillion in combined AUM.

We build red-teaming agents that help developers fix their RL environments and improve their agents. Our customers are tired of being bullshitted by their agents.

OnDeck is the infrastructure layer that makes Vision Language Models accessible and scalable for enterprise. Our model, Perception-0, let organizations instantly find any object, behavior or event, in any footage, without needing to train a model or collect any training data. The Pain: Creating vision models usually takes months: collecting training data, training, then deployment. Worse yet: + it’s often impossible to get enough data for a specific task, and + even the best cv models struggle to generalize across diverse camera setups, workflows and environments. To overcome these blockers, we bet early on the power of VLMs and built a vision engine that can generalize across any task and doesn’t need any training data. We published a NeurIPS workshop paper showing our new methods with VLMs beat traditional CV even at niche tasks. Now, our model Perception-0 beats the best VLMs including Gemini at long video understanding. Our current customers include: - National Defense Organizations - Robotics Research - Security cameras - Behaviour analysis for port monitoring - Off-shore oil & gas monitoring

Including every metric, every definition, every edge case. Defined once, and trusted everywhere. No SQL. No dashboards. No waiting on the data team.

Roark helps teams test, monitor, and improve their voice agents. Voice AI is exploding, but reliability is still the #1 challenge. Teams spend hours manually testing agents and still miss failures. In the last 6 months, Roark has processed over 10M minutes of calls, powering monitoring and simulation for teams across the Voice AI ecosystem (including YC companies). We close that gap by combining: 📊 Monitoring & Evaluation - 40+ built-in metrics (latency, instruction-follow, sentiment, etc.), custom dashboards, alerts, and the ability to define your own. Up to 15 speakers with automatic speaker identification. 🎭 Simulations & Personas - end-to-end phone/WebSocket simulations for inbound and outbound agents, with configurable personas (accents, languages, speech & behavior profiles). Define tests as conversations with a graph-based approach, so you can easily branch into edge cases and variants. 🔁 Full lifecycle loop - failed calls automatically become repeatable tests, so every failure makes your agent stronger. Roark is the missing QA layer for Voice AI - helping teams ship agents they can trust.

Orbio uses satellite imagery to track methane emissions from the oil & gas industry. We sell the data to financial companies that want to invest into the best performing energy companies. Until today, oil & gas companies use excel-based emission factors to calculate and report their emissions. As these excel-based emission factors underestimate actual emissions by ~70%, the finance companies that invest into oil & gas can’t mitigate against incoming risks from new regulations, We have built a technology that can for the first time use satellite images to track methane from every single oil & gas facility on the planet, replacing emission factors and allowing finance companies to make the best bets on oil & gas companies that will withstand a wide avalanche of incoming regulation. In the summer 2023 our satellite-based technology got ranked #1 both in terms of accuracy and sensitivity of methane emission events by Stanford University in a peer-reviewed study, beating a range of multi-bn dollar competitors like Maxar.

Outset offers AI-powered user interviews to conduct qualitative research. Traditional surveys are fast but lack depth while live interviews produce high quality data but are slow and expensive. Outset uses LLMs to lead interviews and synthesize results so researchers get high quality data 100 times faster.

Companies use Sherloq as their single source of truth for their SQL on top of their existing data stack. Today, data-driven organizations face the challenge of giving 2 of their data analysts the same task and getting 2 totally different results from their analysis. Although SQL is the #1 coding language for data analysis, it is still managed independently on each user's internal documentation tools (notepads, Slack channels, or docx files). Creating one source of truth is an ongoing difficult process, that’s done manually and takes time to implement. Using our plugin on top of our user's existing query editors, companies can now manage their SQL code in one place. We ourselves are data users and we've built Sherloq to fit the exact needs of data teams, becoming a true alternative to the way SQL is being managed today.

CatchAll by NewsCatcher is a recall-first web search API built for queries where the results are spread across hundreds or thousands of pages on the web. Instead of returning the top ranked links like traditional search engines, CatchAll retrieves a large candidate set from the web, validates which pages actually match the query, and extracts structured records of real-world events. Developers and data teams use CatchAll to answer “long-list” questions such as tracking regulatory actions, funding rounds, product launches, corporate expansions, or cybersecurity incidents. The output is not just links but clean, deduplicated datasets that can power AI agents, monitoring systems, analytics pipelines, and market intelligence workflows. CatchAll runs on the data infrastructure developed by NewsCatcher, which continuously indexes millions of articles and public web pages across a global network of sources.

GrowthBook is an open source platform to help companies make data-driven product decisions with feature flags and A/B tests. Existing SaaS solutions like LaunchDarkly require a company to send all of their data to them. This results in high costs, data compliance issues, and vendor lock-in. As a result, many companies end up building their own platforms in-house, which can take thousands of hours of work and lots of headaches. To solve this, GrowthBook uses a company's existing data infrastructure and business metrics. We believe feature flags and experimentation are the right way to build products at scale and that they will become a standard part of the development process. GrowthBook is well positioned to be a leader in this growing market.
