Gleason Corporation
The 160-year-old Rochester manufacturer is turning the humble gear into a connected data loop - linking design software, cutting machines and metrology so factories can correct quality while production is still running.
Aro Homes
Aro Homes is a Silicon Valley home-building company that designs and delivers precision-engineered, net-zero single-family homes for established neighborhoods. By combining a repeatable off-site/on-site construction system with architecture from Olson Kundig, Aro aims to cut the typical 18-month build down to roughly 90 days while producing homes that generate more energy than they use, cut water consumption by up to 45%, and save an estimated 11.2 tons of CO2 per home each year. The company launched publicly in 2022 with a $21M Series A and treats housing as a repeatable product rather than a series of one-off custom builds.
