FeedbackNow is a New York-based real-time customer experience company best known for the Smiley Box - the push-button terminals that ask travelers, patients and shoppers how their visit went and route that sentiment to operations teams within minutes. Founded in Switzerland in 2012, acquired by Forrester in 2018, and spun back out as an independent, venture-backed company in 2024, it pairs physical feedback devices and environmental sensors with AI analytics to help airports, hospitals and retailers fix problems before they show up in a survey.
WHILL designs and manufactures intelligent personal electric vehicles - sleek power chairs and an autonomous mobility service - that reframe the wheelchair as a piece of consumer technology. Founded in 2012 by three Japanese engineers from Nissan, Sony and Olympus, the company sells the Model C2 and Model F directly to consumers and operates an autonomous fleet service at airports including Haneda, Narita and Winnipeg.
Outsight builds Physical AI software that turns raw 3D LiDAR data into real-time, anonymous spatial intelligence - tracking people and vehicles inside airports, train stations, stadiums, factories and city streets without ever recording a face.
