Atmosic Technologies is a developer of ultra-low-power compute and wireless connectivity solutions aimed at extending battery life in connected devices. Its products target Consumer Devices, Home Automation, Healthcare, Industrial, and Enterprise markets. The company cites recent design wins in the multibillion-unit battery-powered IoT market as momentum for growth. Atmosic plans to expand its portfolio of ultra-low-power solutions and accelerate development of its next-generation compute and connectivity platform. Management intends to scale manufacturing capacity to support new high-volume design wins. The company emphasizes enabling real-time decision-making at the data source with minimal energy consumption. Atmosic, based in Campbell, Calif., develops ultra-low-power wireless SoCs and integrated energy-harvesting technology for IoT devices. The company recently unveiled the ATM33 Series Bluetooth 5.3 SoC family that leverages energy harvesting to improve energy efficiency and reduce frequent battery replacements. Its products target Consumer, Home, Industrial, Auto, Healthcare, Enterprise and Smart Cities segments, and the company positions itself on a mission to deliver a battery-free connected IoT. Atmosic says it will continue to enhance its low-power and energy-harvesting roadmap and expand its global footprint. Commercial traction has accelerated: the company reported a 10x increase in shipments and a 500% expansion of its customer base over the past year, and has announced a partnership with Universal Electronics Inc. David Su is the company’s CEO. Atmosic Technologies designs ultra-low-power Bluetooth 5 system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions (M2 and M3 series) and controlled energy-harvesting technologies to enable extended battery life or battery-free operation for IoT devices. Its products leverage multiple energy-harvesting sources including RF, photovoltaic, thermal, and mechanical. Target applications include asset tracking, smart homes, wearables, building automation, and medical devices. The company plans to deploy its M2 and M3 solutions into commercial products in early 2020 and will continue R&D on next-generation solutions. Atmosic aims to scale as a supplier of lowest-power wireless technologies and to support strategic customers in the United States and greater Asia. Financially, Atmosic completed a $28.5 million Series B and has raised $49.5 million in total since its 2016 founding. The company is based in Campbell, California. Atmosic Technologies develops ultra-low-power wireless IoT chips (the M2 and M3 series) intended to deliver self-sustaining or battery-free operation. The company employs three core technologies—lowest power radio, on-demand wake-up, and controlled energy harvesting—to drastically reduce power consumption. Its initial products use the Bluetooth 5 platform to extend range, speed, and bandwidth for beacons, controllers, and asset and fitness trackers. The M2 series targets 10–100x lower power through its low-power radio and on-demand wake-up, while the M3 combines those gains with controlled energy harvesting to enable "forever battery life" or battery-free operation. The M2 and M3 are available for customer sampling and are slated for volume production in the second quarter of 2019. Atmosic has raised $21 million to date from Sutter Hill Ventures, Clear Ventures, and Walden International and has 26 employees; its team includes wireless industry experts who previously pioneered CMOS RF design.

Wherobots is a serverless Spatial Intelligence Cloud developed by the original creators of Apache Sedona (Mo Sarwat and Jia Yu). The platform enables high-performance geospatial ETL, analytics, and computer vision at planetary scale, with unified support for vector and raster data accessible via SQL, Python, and Java/Scala. Wherobots says customers can run spatial workloads up to 20x faster than modern cloud analytics engines, lowering cost and speeding product development. It targets industries including insurance, environmental, transportation, logistics, supply chain, and agriculture and is used alongside Apache Sedona by enterprises such as Amazon, NVIDIA, Mercedes Benz, and others. Apache Sedona, incubated by the founders and compatible with Wherobots, is growing 150% YoY with nearly 40M downloads. The company has made its service available on the AWS Marketplace and is positioning the funding to accelerate product development and go-to-market expansion. Wherobots offers a spatial compute and AI engine that lets users develop geospatial analytics applications and deploy them with major cloud data services. Its product uses the same API as Apache Sedona but adds faster spatial processing, a spatial data usage dashboard and other enterprise features. The founders, Mo Sarwat and Jia Yu, previously launched Apache Sedona in 2015 and incorporated Wherobots in June 2022 to commercialize an enterprise-focused platform. The company positions itself as a fully managed, fully provisioned, scalable cloud data platform for spatial analytics and AI, claiming better speed and cloud efficiency than Apache Sedona. Wherobots has released an MVP for beta testing and targets industries including insurance, fleet management and automotive, agriculture, and real estate. The team currently comprises seven full-time employees and three interns and is in a building phase focused on product development and adoption.

Concentric offers an AI-powered data inventory and protection platform that catalogs critical information across databases, storage buckets, email, messaging apps and even generative AI chatbots like Microsoft Copilot. Customers link Concentric to their data sources, after which the product finds sensitive items (passwords, private files, audio/video), traces data lineage, and provides recommendations to secure data and meet compliance standards. Concentric creates semantic representations of data rather than storing raw sensitive data, and surfaces anomalous activity for remediation. The company serves customers in industrial manufacturing, insurance and higher education, including Hagerty and DeVry University. Client base growth has been strong, with the company reporting a 300% increase from a year earlier. Management says the product roadmap and partner program will be expanded using new funding, and Concentric plans to grow headcount to 125 by 2025. Concentric AI offers an autonomous data security solution that helps organizations discover, evaluate, and remediate security issues across structured and unstructured content without large analyst teams or end-user involvement. The company targets the $19 billion market for data security, access governance, and loss prevention. Its technology leverages emerging deep learning methods, per the co-founders, to protect content across cloud and on-premises environments. Concentric’s co-founders are Karthik Krishnan (CEO), Madhu Shashanka (Chief Data Scientist), and Shankar Subramaniam (CTO and VP, Engineering). With the new funding, Concentric plans to grow its roster of corporate customers through expanded sales and marketing and to extend its solution to protect an expanding menu of content, locations, and use cases. The company positions itself as an autonomous alternative to labor-intensive data protection approaches.
