Kepler Analytics
Kepler Analytics is a Melbourne-founded retail technology company that helps brick-and-mortar retailers grow store sales through AI-powered foot-traffic sensors and a cloud analytics platform. By measuring how many people pass by, enter, dwell and convert in a store, Kepler turns physical retail into a data-driven operation - benchmarking store performance, guiding staffing and layout, and informing where to open, close or renegotiate leases. The company serves roughly 500 retailers across more than 30,000 locations in 35 countries.
Meadow AI
Meadow AI is a Seattle-based multimodal AI platform that gives restaurants and retailers real-time visibility into their physical operations. By combining computer vision, natural language processing, and data from existing point-of-sale, labor, inventory, video, and audio systems, Meadow automates the manual 'secret shopper' audits that chains have long done by hand - continuously evaluating customer experiences and staff performance, then surfacing AI recommendations to lift revenue, tighten consistency, and reduce labor costs. The company emerged from stealth in November 2025 with $6M raised and more than $2.5M in contracted annual recurring revenue.
