Boxcar Transit
Boxcar is a New Jersey-based commuting company that turns the suburban trip into Manhattan into something you can book on a phone. It started in 2017 as an 'Airbnb for parking' - matching commuters with unused driveways and lots near train stations - then added business-class commuter buses with reserved seats, Wi-Fi and curbside drop-off across Midtown.

Hayden AI
This video profiles Hayden AI, a company building an AI-powered platform that automates the enforcement of bus lanes on public transit systems. Cameras mounted behind a bus windshield feed an onboard compute box that detects when a parked or stopped vehicle is illegally blocking a bus lane. The system processes footage on the bus itself, blurring license plates and faces and transmitting only the clip tied to an actual violation to the cloud. Framed as a low-cost path to smarter cities, Hayden AI argues that one blocked bus lane impedes 50 to 60 riders at once, and that automating enforcement reduces collisions, improves on-time arrivals, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and grows ridership.
Nicholas D'Andre
Nicholas D'Andre is the CEO and co-founder of GridMatrix, a San Francisco-founded software company that turns a city's existing traffic cameras and sensors into a real-time, AI-driven nervous system for roads, tunnels, ports and airports. A supply-chain operator turned infrastructure entrepreneur, he spent years buying sensors and RF components at Apple and forecasting demand at Amazon and Google before deciding the bigger problem was the analog infrastructure those devices lived inside. GridMatrix was selected from more than 150 global startups by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and now runs on landmarks like the Lincoln and Holland tunnels and the George Washington Bridge, spotting near-misses, congestion and emissions before they become headlines.
Todd Roberts
Todd Roberts is the CEO and co-founder of ATDev (Assistive Technology Development, Inc.), a robotics company building an ecosystem of devices that help people stay independent regardless of physical ability. A mechanical engineer trained at Northeastern and UC Berkeley, where he researched exoskeletons, Roberts met his co-founder Owen Kent through a Craigslist housing ad and discovered they shared both a roof and a biomechanics class. Their company's first product, Reflex, is a sub-five-pound at-home knee rehabilitation robot that pairs guided exercises with remote clinician monitoring. ATDev raised a $3M seed round in October 2025 and is a partner in the $41M ARPA-H RAMMP robotic mobility initiative.
Turo
Turo is the world's largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace, connecting people who want to rent a car with everyday car owners who list their vehicles. Instead of a fleet of identical sedans behind an airport counter, Turo offers roughly 340,000 cars across 1,600 makes and models - from electric Teslas and pickup trucks to convertibles and classic exotics - bookable through an app or website. The platform handles transactions, host protection plans, liability insurance and roadside assistance, letting owners earn income from idle cars and guests find the exact vehicle they want, often delivered to the airport or their door.

A car-free MIT transportation PhD who started his career designing websites for American Express and IBM, he co-founded the microtransit startup Bridj, ran customer technology as CTO of the MBTA, and now helps transit agencies turn rider data into faster buses and simpler fares. His through-line: use technology and data to make public transit work better for everyone.
Roam Robotics
Roam Robotics builds lightweight, air-powered wearable exoskeletons that augment human strength, endurance and mobility. Founded by Ekso Bionics veteran Dr. Tim Swift, the San Francisco company replaced the heavy metal of traditional exoskeletons with plastic, fabric and pneumatic actuators - making robotic assistance cheap and light enough to wear all day. Its products span consumer skiing (Elevate), medical knee osteoarthritis relief (Ascend), and military performance (Forge), with clinical data showing 46% average knee-pain reduction and up to 2x strength and endurance gains.
Transit
Transit is a Montreal-based mobile app that turns the chaos of public transportation into a single, legible screen. It aggregates real-time schedules, GPS vehicle locations, and crowdsourced rider data across more than 1,100 cities in dozens of countries, layering in bikeshare, carshare, ridehail, microtransit, and mobile ticketing so people can navigate a city without owning a car. Founded by Sam Vermette and Guillaume Campagna, Transit partners directly with transit agencies who endorse and increasingly sponsor the app for their riders.
Tim Swift
Tim Swift is the founder and CEO of Roam Robotics, the San Francisco company building lightweight exoskeletons out of high-strength fabric and compressed air instead of heavy steel and motors. A UC Berkeley mechanical engineering PhD, he was one of the original three-person team that invented the Ekso exoskeleton at Ekso Bionics, then went to Otherlab before starting Roam in 2014. His bet: that wearable robots can weigh five pounds, cost a few thousand dollars, and be something a regular person buys to ski longer, hike farther, or move with less pain - not a tens-of-thousands-of-dollars hospital machine.
