RoboDock
RoboDock is a San Francisco robotics startup (Y Combinator W26) building the physical automation layer for electric and autonomous vehicle depots. Its robots plug in chargers, align to charge ports with vision guidance, and run post-trip inspections using visual and thermal sensing - turning depots that still rely on people walking rows of vehicles into self-running infrastructure. Founded in 2025 by Stanford classmates Zinny Weli (CEO) and Celine Wang (CTO), the company offers its system as a retrofit that drops into existing facilities without layout changes.
Perforce Software
Perforce Software builds the version control, DevOps, and quality tools that large engineering teams lean on when their codebases and binary assets grow too big for ordinary tools. Its flagship - Helix Core, rebranded P4 in 2025 - moves enormous game studios, semiconductor designers, automakers, and defense programs along, while a portfolio gathered through acquisitions (Puppet, Perfecto, Delphix, Klocwork, Gliffy and more) extends from source control into static analysis, test automation, infrastructure automation, and test data management. Founded in 1995 and now backed by Clearlake Capital and Francisco Partners, Perforce powers more than half of the Global 500.
