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 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 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.
