Winter 2025 Portfolio Showcase

 

 

We recently hosted our Winter Portfolio Showcase. Nearly a dozen of our amazing founders took the stage before a packed, standing-room-only crowd of VCs and other investors, and shared inspiring visions for moving humanity forward with their AI-driven platforms.

Watch all of the TED Talk-style presentations here:

 

Common Sense Privacy
Daphne Li shared a vision for protecting consumer data while making privacy compliance effortless for companies with Common Sense Privacy’s AI-powered platform.

 

Esteam
Jennifer Wong’s Esteam provides personalized reading support for children who lack access to individual tutoring, making literacy a birthright for all children.

 

Octagon
After Ken So missed out on a billion dollar business deal, he built Octagon, an AI-powered research platform to help investors identify market patterns and opportunities early.

 

Rypple
The “forgotten middle” — 85% of middle managers who receive no leadership support — inspired Ian Gover to build Rypple, an AI platform providing accessible coaching to prevent organizational failure.

 

SkyFire AI
When minutes count, Don Mathis tells how SkyFire’s autonomous drones can find missing people in the aftermath of a hurricane or slash emergency response times to deliver live-saving medical supplies.

 

SpeechLab
Seamus McAteer built SpeechLab to turn language barriers into bridges through its AI-powered speech-to-speech translation platform.

 

Sunrise AI
When dashboards weren’t enough, Deepak Shrivastava built Sunrise AI to create AI co-pilots that think alongside enterprise teams and recommend clear actions to drive revenue and slash churn.

 

WoPa
When Yves Lermusiaux experienced firsthand how difficult finding meaningful work can be, he built WoPa, an AI companion that guides people toward work they’re passionate about in a world where traditional job search tools aren’t addressing deeper questions of purpose.

 

Workhelix
Just as the steam engine transformed the industrial age, James Milin and economists Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee built Workhelix to help enterprises identify exactly where AI can double productivity in today’s digital transformation.
