Penlink and the business of connecting the dots
A phone record, a web alias, a moving dot on a map. Penlink puts them in the same investigation - and makes the question of who gets to connect them harder to ignore.
AGI makes the expensive mistakes happen on screen
Before a satellite misses its connection or a test flight loses its signal, AGI lets engineers rehearse the consequences. Its lasting bet: the government should buy reusable mission software instead of commissioning the same mathematics again.
The Software That Taught Investigators to See the Hidden Network
Before knowledge graphs became a boardroom phrase, i2 was helping detectives turn phone logs and witness statements into maps of who knew whom. Thirty-six years later, its most important feature is still the one no model can automate away: showing the analyst their work.
Revalue
Revalue (Revalue Nature) is a London-based climate-tech company that develops high-integrity, nature-based carbon credits and builds the analytics platform behind them. Combining forest science, AI, remote sensing (satellite, drone and LiDAR), dynamic baselines and biodiversity monitoring, it partners with on-the-ground project operators and capital providers to design credits that avoid, remove and durably store CO2. Founded in 2022 and led by CEO Stuart Rowland, the company raised a $10M Series A in 2023 co-led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund and SJF Ventures.
AI Clearing
AI Clearing is an Austin- and Warsaw-based construction technology company that turns drone imagery and site data into automated progress tracking, quality control, and field intelligence for large infrastructure projects. Its AI-native platform ingests drone flights, CAD/BIM designs, schedules, and mobile field data into a single source of truth, delivering analyzed progress reports typically within hours rather than weeks. Serving contractors, asset owners, and lenders on utility-scale solar, energy transmission, roads, railways, and earthworks, the company raised a $14M Series A in 2023 and was the first technology firm in the world to certify its AI management system against ISO 42001.

Its platform ingests billions of open-source signals daily across 100+ languages, using machine learning, computer vision, and OCR to detect narratives, track influence, and flag emerging threats for enterprise, government, and defense customers.
Earthshot Labs
Earthshot Labs is a public-benefit climate-tech company building the technology and financing rails for nature-based carbon projects at planetary scale. Its LandOS platform guides land stewards step-by-step through carbon project development, while its Biome mobile app uses computer vision and AR to collect field measurements. Backed by a community of 700+ data scientists, Earthshot has helped develop dozens of reforestation, conservation, agroforestry, and improved-forest-management projects worldwide and channeled tens of millions of dollars into ecosystem restoration.
