Investing In Innovators

Product Genius AI is an AI-powered e-commerce enablement platform that leverages its proprietary Large Interaction Model (LIM) to optimize direct-to-consumer channels by learning from real-time shopper behavior. This "switch-on" technology requires no front-end code rebuilds and has demonstrated an average 36% revenue lift across its 55+ active merchants while operating with 1/500th of the energy and training data requirements of standard reinforcement learning models.

Advanced Silicon Group has developed a novel protein biosensor technology targeting low-cost contamination measurements for bio-manufacturing lines initially, with possible diagnostic applications later.  The tech is protected by over 26 patents and significant know-how.  ASG will sell silicon chip-based biosensors (single-use) and will lease a measurement tool to read the biosensors and associated software.

FaceSign AI is building the next generation of AI-resilient, step-up authentication for financial services, crypto platforms, and high-risk digital transactions. Their SaaS platform uses a live, conversational avatar to verify user identity in real-time—countering the rise of deepfakes and AI-generated fraud while maintaining a smooth customer experience. FaceSign replaces insecure SMS codes and expensive manual reviews with deterministic, high-assurance identity verification for high risk transactions.

Samara Aerospace's Hummingbird spacecraft bus provides a modular and scalable platform that will streamline the production and deployment of satellites.  Hummingbird's compact architecture significantly lowers launch costs by more effectively utilizing launch capacity.

Next-Gen Control

We're bringing JWST pointing precision to the commercial LEO market with our patented MSAC technology. By using actuators embedded in the hinges of deployable solar panels, MSAC provides 3-axis attitude control and active jitter cancellation.  No wheels that shake. No bearings to wear out. Virtually no added mass.

Flip the Trade

Since Hummingbird derives its pointing control and agility from its MSAC-enabled solar panels, it’s the only satellite system that gets more control with larger panels. This flips the fundamental trade the industry is battling, allowing Hummingbird to achieve high power AND high agility.

Myrias Optics is a pioneering company developing innovative metaoptical components and modules. They utilize a proprietary platform to design and manufacture nanostructured metaoptics that manipulate light with exceptional precision. This technology addresses a crucial challenge in AR/VR and other fields: the lack of affordable, compact, and high-performance optics.

Myrias' solution lies in a patented "materials, structure, and manufacturing" platform. This allows them to rapidly "print" intricate nano-patterns onto various substrates, creating ultra-durable metaoptics at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional methods. This not only makes them ideal for AR/VR devices but also opens doors for applications like smartphones, biometric systems, and terrain mapping.

Vermeer is a leading innovator in the field of vision-based navigation, specializing in solutions for defense and aerospace applications. Their technology addresses the critical challenge of unreliable GPS signals in contested and GPS-denied environments, such as those encountered in recent events like the conflict in Ukraine.

Vermeer's core technology leverages computer vision to provide unparalleled navigation capabilities for drones and unmanned systems. Their software, called VPS, compares real-time video feeds with pre-mapped 3D terrain stored locally, enabling accurate location determination even when GPS is unavailable or compromised. This innovative software-only solution allows any platform to operate effectively in situations where traditional GPS guidance fails.
