The company raised $3.3M in seed funding in 2023.
Popcorn is an AI-native, software-first telco that sells a single global phone plan - unlimited talk, text and data across 180+ countries with no roaming fees, delivered over eSIM for about $69 a month. Beyond connectivity, Popcorn layers AI on the line itself: screening calls, taking notes, and defending against deepfakes and SIM-swap fraud, while offering developer SDKs and APIs to add voice, messaging and phone numbers in a few lines of code. Founded in 2023 and based in New York, it argues telecom has barely changed in 25 years and rebuilds it as cloud software.
Superlinked is a San Francisco-based infrastructure company building the 'vector computer' - a compute and data engineering framework that turns complex enterprise data into vector embeddings for Search, RAG, Recommendations and Analytics.

People Data Labs is a data-as-a-service company that sells clean, structured B2B data through developer-friendly APIs.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company positions itself as the data layer underneath other companies' products rather than a competitor to them.
