3i Inc.
3i Inc. is a Seoul-based spatial AI company that turns physical spaces into interactive digital twins. Founded in 2017, it operates two brands: Beamo, an enterprise digital twin platform used to remotely inspect and manage mission-critical facilities like data centers and factories, and Pivo, a consumer AI-powered auto-tracking pod for content creators. Backed by a $24M Series A led by SV Investment, the company holds dozens of technology patents in computer vision, 3D scanning, and SLAM.
Ken Kim
Ken Kim is the co-founder and CEO of 3i Inc., a Seoul-based spatial AI company behind Beamo, an enterprise digital twin platform that 3D-scans indoor sites in minutes, and Pivo, an auto-tracking smart pod loved by video creators. A former IT consultant and commodities trader turned repeat entrepreneur, Kim built 3i around a childhood obsession with cameras and a belief that anyone should be able to capture the physical world and move it into the digital one. Under his leadership 3i raised an oversubscribed $24M Series A in 2021, grew to a global team spanning more than 20 nationalities, and holds dozens of technology patents.
Onlife
Onlife is a spatial-AI company that turns where people go into what they might do next. It began as the parent company behind Aglet, a location-based 'sneakerverse' game that had players walking real streets to collect virtual sneakers, then used the resulting movement data to build a Spatial Behavioral Engine and a consumer 'Smart Map' that fuses calendars, to-do lists and location into a self-organizing daily planner. Founded by former adidas trends director Ryan David Mullins, Onlife straddles the line between a playful consumer app and a serious geospatial-intelligence platform.
Schemata, Inc.
Schemata is a San Francisco spatial intelligence company building an AI-native interface to the physical world. It turns 2D images and physical assets into photorealistic, interactive 3D training environments where an AI instructor coaches workers through procedures, inspections, and maintenance - claiming content built roughly 10x faster and up to 85% cheaper than traditional simulation. Founded in 2023 and out of a16z Speedrun, it serves defense and enterprise customers including NAVSEA, multiple U.S. Air Force units, Northeastern University, Nestle, and Nabors, and raised a $5M seed led by Owl Ventures in May 2025.
Hantz Févry
Hantz Févry is the founder and CEO of Geolava, a San Francisco spatial-intelligence startup that turns satellite, LiDAR, aerial, street-level and government data into searchable answers about buildings and infrastructure. A Haitian immigrant who built an earthquake early-warning system at age 20, he went on to lead AI research for Google Assistant's hotword (a team that became part of DeepMind), then founded the gig-economy mapping company Stoovo - which mapped 130 million U.S. buildings and was acquired in 2024. In July 2025 he raised a $4.3M seed round for Geolava, betting that spatial intelligence will reshape real estate and infrastructure.
James Brown
James Brown is the co-founder and CEO of Schemata, a San Francisco startup building an AI-powered spatial intelligence platform that turns ordinary 2D imagery into photorealistic 3D environments with a built-in AI instructor. A former US Marine Corps infantry and information operations officer who once briefed the Secretary of the Navy, he was the first in his family to earn a college degree, went on to a Stanford MBA and MS in Symbolic Systems, and now sells rapid-deployment virtual training to defense, energy, and infrastructure customers. Schemata emerged from stealth in May 2025 with a $5M seed round led by Owl Ventures and $3.4M in early Department of Defense contracts.
Ryan Mullins
Ryan David Mullins is the co-founder and CEO of Onlife, a Los Angeles spatial-AI company building a Smart Map powered by a proprietary Spatial Behavior Engine. He is best known for creating Aglet, the location-based sneaker game that grew to roughly 4 million players by getting people to walk in the real world to collect virtual kicks. A former Director of Future Trends at Adidas and a serial founder (oolipo, readfy), Mullins blends product building with public writing on technology, philosophy and theology - styling himself an entrepreneur-philosopher who chases what he calls the Prometheus Principle.
OpenSpace
OpenSpace is a San Francisco-based construction technology company that turns 360-degree video walks of jobsites into AI-powered, navigable visual records pinned to floor plans. Its software stitches site captures into a Google Street View-style digital twin so general contractors can see every corner of a build, track progress, resolve disputes, and coordinate with BIM - without flying anyone to the site.
Rembrand
Rembrand is an AI advertising platform that drops real products into video content after the camera stops rolling. Its computer-vision models reconstruct scenes, then render brand-safe placements - virtual signage, billboards, even physical products - that look like they were filmed on set. Founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur Omar Tawakol, the Los Altos startup is building what it calls 'in-content advertising' for the streaming, creator and CTV era.
Jeevan Kalanithi
Jeevan Kalanithi is the co-founder and CEO of OpenSpace, a San Francisco-based construction technology company that has mapped over 50 billion square feet of job sites across 125 countries using AI-powered 360-degree visual intelligence. A Stanford Symbolic Systems grad and MIT Media Lab alum who played in an indie rock band before building award-winning smart toys exhibited at MoMA, Kalanithi brought the same obsessive product craft to construction — an industry he stumbled into while helping ship drones at 3D Robotics. OpenSpace has raised ~$200M and counts 62% of the ENR Top 400 general contractors as customers.
