The Company Behind the Gauge on the Wall
Dwyer Instruments has been making the little pressure gauges bolted to industrial walls since 1931. In 2022 it swallowed OMEGA Engineering - a company twice its public profile - and became a measurement conglomerate hiding in plain sight.
The Company Under the Cloud
AI may live in the cloud, but the cloud lives on switchgear, drives and control systems. ABB is the century-old engineering company turning the digital economy's appetite for power into an industrial growth story.
Nintex
It started as a plug-in that let office workers drag boxes into a workflow instead of begging IT for a script. Two decades and a shopping spree of acquisitions later, Nintex is betting its process platform can put AI agents to work without setting the whole building on fire.
Intense Technologies
A quiet Hyderabad software house has spent three decades building the plumbing behind your phone bill, your bank statement and your insurance onboarding - and selling it back to some of the world's largest companies.
Formstack
How a developer tired of building the same forms over and over turned a no-code side project into a workflow-automation company trusted by 25,000 organizations.
FlowX.AI

It offers 140+ ready-made agents across lending, onboarding, claims and compliance, and in 2023 raised a $35M Series A led by Dawn Capital - reported as Romania's largest Series A at the time.

Cogent Labs
Cogent Labs is a full-service software and AI studio that deploys practical, 'boring' AI automation for small and mid-size businesses - the kind that quietly removes repetitive manual work like data entry, status updates, and report generation. Founded by CEO Ehmad Zubair, the team blends web, mobile, and generative-AI engineering (Python, Django, React, React Native) with a fixed-price consulting model that maps a company's operations, prioritizes the highest-ROI automations, and ships production-ready workflows in weeks rather than six-month pilots.
Gumloop
Gumloop is a no-code AI automation platform that lets any employee build, deploy, and manage AI agents and workflows by dragging modular nodes onto a canvas. Where legacy tools like Zapier treat AI as one node among many, Gumloop makes AI orchestration the core primitive - connecting a company's internal data to leading AI models to complete complex, repetitive work. Founded in 2023 by McGill classmates Max Brodeur-Urbas and Rahul Behal, the company went through Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and raised a $50M Series B led by Benchmark in March 2026. It counts Shopify, Ramp, Gusto, Instacart, Samsara, and Opendoor among its customers.

It turns messy, unstructured inputs - faxes, chart notes, insurance forms - into structured data and then runs full administrative workflows like referral intake, patient registration, and denial appeals end to end, with a human in the loop and HIPAA/SOC 2 controls baked in. Founded in 2019 by Kesava Kirupa Dinakaran and Dmitry Dolgopolov, the company started life as customer-support RPA tool DigitalBrain, pivoted entirely into healthcare, and raised a $38M Series B in April 2026 led by Peak XV Partners, with Cleveland Clinic as a flagship partner.
Automation Anywhere
Automation Anywhere is a San Jose-based enterprise software company building agentic process automation - software bots and AI agents that handle the repetitive office work humans do not want to do. Its Automation 360 platform combines RPA, document AI, and generative-AI co-pilots to run end-to-end workflows for global enterprises across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and the public sector.
