Autodesk
Autodesk is a design and make software company whose tools power the buildings, products, movies, and infrastructure of the physical world. Best known for AutoCAD, the company now spans architecture, engineering and construction (Revit, Civil 3D, Forma), product design and manufacturing (Fusion, Inventor), and media and entertainment (Maya, 3ds Max, Arnold). With roughly $6 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue and a near-fully subscription business, Autodesk's stated mission is to empower everyone, everywhere to design and make anything - increasingly with cloud platforms and AI woven into the workflow.
Bezi
Bezi is a San Francisco software company building an AI assistant that lives inside the Unity game engine. It indexes a developer's entire project in real time - scripts, scenes, assets, packages - so it can debug, generate code and shaders, build editor tools, and automate repetitive work with full project context. Founded in 2021 as a collaborative 3D design tool by ex-Oculus designers, Bezi raised $13M led by Benchmark and later pivoted to focus on AI for game makers, positioning itself as 'AI for building real games, not generating them.'
z-emotion
z-emotion is a Seoul-based fashion-tech company building 3D garment simulation software that lets designers create true-to-life digital clothing in seconds. Its flagship CAD tool, z-weave, plus plugins for Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine, a cloud asset library, and AI-driven virtual try-on, help fashion, gaming, and e-commerce companies replace physical samples with photorealistic 3D garments. Founded by former AMD graphics researcher Dongsoo Han, the company pairs game-grade simulation with apparel workflows to push the fashion industry toward digital production.
California Closets
California Closets invented the custom closet category in 1978 and remains its most recognizable name. The company designs, manufactures, and installs personalized storage systems - walk-in closets, garages, home offices, pantries, and more - through a network of franchised and company-owned showrooms across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. A subsidiary of FirstService Brands since 1998, it pairs in-home and virtual design consultations with 3D modeling and local manufacturing to turn cluttered rooms into organized space.
Andrew Anagnost
Andrew Anagnost is the President and CEO of Autodesk, the $41+ billion design and engineering software giant behind AutoCAD, Revit, Maya, and Fusion 360. A PhD aeronautical engineer who once simulated Mars rovers at NASA Ames, he joined Autodesk as a product manager in 1997 and spent two decades reshaping it from the inside - architecting the company's landmark pivot from perpetual licenses to cloud subscriptions before taking the top job in 2017. Under his tenure, revenue has grown from ~$2B to over $6B and the company entered the Fortune 500. Off the clock, he is CSUN's largest-ever alumni donor, having committed $22.1 million to the public university that he credits with saving him from falling through the cracks.
Julian Park
Julian Park is the Co-Founder and CEO of Bezi, a San Francisco-based AI assistant for Unity game developers that helps with debugging, code generation, shader creation, and prototyping through deep project-level context. A UC Berkeley computer science grad, Park cut his teeth at Facebook building WebGL design tools and then at Oculus leading VR multitasking and UI framework projects before co-founding Bezi in 2021. The company raised $13M across Seed and Series A rounds, with Benchmark leading the Series A, and has evolved from a collaborative 3D design tool into a powerful AI coding companion purpose-built for Unity pipelines.
