Otonomi
Otonomi is a New York-based insurtech that sells parametric insurance for cargo delays and disruptions across air, ocean, and e-commerce parcel shipments. Instead of the traditional claims process, its platform uses AI/ML underwriting, real-time shipment tracking, and blockchain-backed settlement to quote in seconds and pay out automatically once a delay crosses a defined threshold - regardless of cause. Founded in 2021 by Yann Barbarroux and Jeremy Sutton, the company targets freight forwarders, shippers, and brokers moving time-critical goods such as pharmaceuticals, perishables, high-tech components, and automotive parts.
Eric Klasson
Eric Klasson is the founder and CEO of Resilienci.ai, an Austin-based company that uses AI, machine learning and behavioral data to map hyperlocal infectious-disease risk and supply-chain disruption. A longtime entrepreneur and finance executive with a 40-year career spanning Price Waterhouse, PepsiCo and several technology startups, he previously co-founded the social-analytics firm Snaptrends and founded Pandemic Insights. He is also a longtime food-security advocate who has chaired and served on food-bank boards.
Brainchain AI
Brainchain AI is a New York-based artificial intelligence company that scans the world's public data in near real time to predict and mitigate global supply chain disruptions. Its platform combines natural language processing, language modeling and time-series forecasting to spot anomalies across news, government regulations, financial markets and commodity reports, then helps global brands and governments position ahead of price dislocations and keep supply and demand in balance. Founded in 2023 and led by CEO Roman Vintfeld, the company has raised roughly $1.89M to build what it describes as an 'immune response' for the world's supply chains.
LevaData
LevaData is an enterprise SaaS company that builds an AI-powered supply management platform for direct-materials procurement. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Pleasanton, California, its Cognitive Supply Management platform blends a company's bill of materials and sourcing objectives with real-time market data covering over a billion parts and tens of thousands of suppliers to recommend cost savings, flag risks, and speed up new product introduction. It counts manufacturers and OEMs among its customers and raised a $47M Series C in 2021 led by Banneker Partners.
DeepVu
DeepVu (legal entity Vufind Inc.) is a San Ramon, California startup building AI planning agents for supply chain teams. Its platform pairs a supply-chain knowledge graph (VuGraph) enriched with macroeconomic and trade signals, a digital-twin simulator (VuSim), and reinforcement-learning decision agents (VuDecide) to make demand planning, inventory, procurement, production and logistics decisions more resilient to shocks - while trimming cost and carbon. Founded in 2016 by Moataz Rashad and Prof. Walid Aref, the company pivoted from computer-vision roots to focus on autonomous, shock-resilient supply chain planning for manufacturers and retailers.
Helios AI
Helios AI is an agricultural-intelligence software company that helps food, commodity, and procurement teams see supply shocks before they happen. Its platform aggregates hundreds of billions of climate and economic data points to forecast prices, weather risk, and supply disruptions for 50+ agricultural commodities across most of the world's export-growing districts, up to a year in advance. Founded in 2022 by Francisco Martin-Rayo and Eden Canlilar, the company sells tools like CommodiTrack, the Helios Horizon AI co-pilot, and Supply Chain Climate Audits to CPG manufacturers, traders, and Fortune 100 buyers.
XTRIUM
XTRIUM is an Austin-based deeptech startup building an AI-powered intelligence layer for the material world. Its platform helps manufacturers, product developers, and procurement teams choose the right materials, discover new applications for existing ones, and diversify suppliers - compressing sourcing timelines from roughly 12 months to about 5 days. Using graph neural networks and combinatorial matching, XTRIUM aims to be the central hub of a materials research, development, and sourcing ecosystem.
Francisco Martin-Rayo
Francisco Martin-Rayo is the co-founder and CEO of Helios AI, a climate-risk and commodity-price platform that helps agri-food companies see supply shocks before they hit. A former Mexican-avocado trader who became a BCG principal and AI-fintech executive, he teamed up with ex-Google engineer Eden Canlilar in late 2022 to build an AI that scrapes 250,000 news sources every 15 minutes, runs custom models for dozens of crops, and tells procurement teams when, how much, and where to buy across roughly 90 countries.
Malur Narayan
Malur Narayan is the CEO and co-founder of XTRIUM, an Austin-based B2B AI startup building an intelligence layer for materials that matches materials to real-world applications, surfaces sourcing risk, and turns supply chains from fragile to resilient. A computer engineer who was running machine-learning research and self-managed software teams in the early 1990s, he spent three decades scaling technology businesses across five continents at Nortel and Tata Consultancy Services before co-founding two AI startups. He frames XTRIUM around a single idea: making the search for a new application for any material as fast and easy as an internet search, compressing what used to take a year into days.
Moataz Rashad
Moataz Rashad is the founder and CEO of DeepVu, a San Ramon, California startup building autonomous, shock-resilient supply chain planning. He pioneers a category he calls autonomous resilient planning: generative AI planning agents trained on digital twins that simulate disruptions from commodity spikes to river droughts. A Stanford-trained engineer and PhD dropout, Moataz spent two decades architecting software at Samsung, Conexant, Mindspeed and Sony Mobile before founding the computer-vision ecommerce startup Vufind, which evolved into DeepVu. He describes himself as an AI and computer-vision hacker, a Mediterranean wisdom-seeker, a space enthusiast, and a keeper of diamond doves and finches.
Group14 Technologies
Group14 Technologies is a Woodinville, Washington battery materials company that makes SCC55, a silicon-carbon composite anode material that replaces graphite in lithium-ion batteries to deliver higher energy density and faster charging. Spun out of EnerG2 in 2015 by Rick Luebbe and Dr. Rick Costantino, the company operates commercial factories in Washington State and South Korea and supplies more than 100 EV, consumer electronics, and energy-storage cell makers worldwide. It has raised over $1 billion in equity, including a $463M Series D in 2025 led by SK, Inc.
Seurat Technologies
Seurat Technologies is a Massachusetts-based contract metal manufacturer built around Area Printing, a laser powder bed fusion process invented at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Instead of melting metal powder one point at a time, Seurat uses millions of tiny laser points to print entire areas at once, decoupling resolution from speed. The company doesn't sell printers; it runs its own clean-energy print factories and sells finished parts at costs meant to rival casting, forging, and machining, with the goal of reshoring high-volume metal manufacturing and cutting its carbon footprint.
Z2Data
Z2Data is a Santa Clara, California supply chain risk management (SCRM) company that turns a normalized database of over a billion electronic components, a million-plus suppliers, and hundreds of thousands of global manufacturing sites into a single platform for mapping, monitoring, and de-risking the technology supply chain. Founded in 2016 by a team with two decades of supply chain experience, it blends human-curated data with AI and machine learning so engineers, procurement teams, compliance officers, and ESG strategists can see part-to-site risk, regulatory exposure, obsolescence, and geopolitical disruption before it reaches the production line.
