AICE
AICE is a San Francisco defense-tech startup building autonomous swarms of modular underwater drones to monitor and protect naval assets and coastal infrastructure. Backed by Y Combinator (P26), the company was founded by ex-NASA MIT aerospace engineer Gregoire Chomette and European robotics champion Remi Bouteiller, who pivoted from commercial-building energy sensors to subsea defense after talking to submariners about the gaps in current underwater robotics.
Craze
Craze is a Y Combinator (S22) company that reinvented itself into an AI video maker at craze.ai - a tool that plans, edits and turns creative direction into finished videos. Founded in 2022 by Kabir Nagral and Deepit Patil, Craze began as an HR, payroll and compliance platform for Indian founders before shutting that product down in 2025 and rebuilding around AI, first as a general 'do things with AI' agent layer and now as a creative video studio.

Founded by Raimie Tang and backed by Y Combinator's Summer 2022 batch, Pivot turns raw transaction-level data into reports and dashboards in minutes, automating the grunt work of financial planning and analysis for early-stage companies trying to scale.
