aPriori Technologies is a Concord, Massachusetts software company that turns 3D CAD designs into instant manufacturing cost, manufacturability, and carbon-footprint insights. Founded in 2003 out of University of Illinois research, its cloud Manufacturing Insights Platform - aP Design, aP Pro, and aP Generate - lets engineers, sourcing teams, and cost analysts simulate how a part will be built, what it should cost across regions, and how much CO2e it will emit, before tooling is ever cut. Manufacturers such as GE Aerospace, Carrier, Alstom, Flex, and Whirlpool use it to catch cost and design problems early and negotiate with suppliers from data rather than guesswork.
Ryan Begin is the co-founder and CEO of Divert, a Concord, Massachusetts impact-technology company that grew from a two-person idea in 2007 into a nationwide network of anaerobic digestion facilities. Divert prevents wasted food across roughly 7,800 retail locations, donates edible surplus, and turns the rest into renewable natural gas. A Maine native and Clarkson-trained electrical engineer, Begin left Raytheon to build the company alongside co-founder Nick Whitman.
Stephanie Feraday is President and CEO of aPriori Technologies, a Concord, Massachusetts digital manufacturing simulation software company, where she has spent nearly 17 years steering the business from the 2009 financial crisis through a Series D funding round, turning cost and sustainability estimation for manufacturers into a cloud SaaS platform used across aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Thaddeus Fulford-Jones is the London-born, MIT-trained engineer who co-founded and leads Radial (formerly Radial Analytics), a Concord, Massachusetts healthtech company that uses AI to guide clinicians through the high-stakes 'crossroads moments' of patient care - especially deciding where a patient should go after leaving the hospital. A serial founder, he earlier built and sold Locately, a pioneering GPS shopper-analytics firm acquired in 2012, before turning his fascination with behavioral 'nudge theory' and large-scale data toward value-based care. Radial's platform has analyzed data from 18 million patients and 82 million encounters to help more people recover safely at home.
