Blueprint was founded by David Feldt, Sajeel Purewal, and Pranav Seelam after the founders left their jobs and participated in the Founders, Inc. accelerator. The team launched the platform in April and rapidly gained traction, with viral posts, site traffic spikes, and more than 175,000 accounts created. The company originated from work on a robotics application for indoor deliveries and pivoted to address fragmented hardware sourcing and timing bottlenecks. Blueprint positions itself as a tooling layer to lower the barrier to hardware development, drawing parallels to modern software developer tools. Financially, the company has just completed a $1M USD pre-seed raise backed by a16z Speedrun, Founders, Inc., and notable angel investors.

Pally builds an AI assistant intended to help users manage relationships, conversations and a growing personal network across messages, calendars, contacts and unfinished tasks. Its FlowTask product turns WhatsApp, Slack and Gmail conversations into an approved company memory and feeds that memory to any AI agents the company uses through an MCP integration. FlowTask is positioned as a single, reliable source of truth so nothing reaches an AI until it is approved. The company says 118 teams are already using the product and that it has received recognition from DPIIT. Pally emphasizes interoperability with existing AI agents rather than replacing them. The team markets FlowTask to both individual users who manage relationships and companies that need consolidated context across multiple communication channels.

Radify develops plasma-based reactors that heat hydrogen into a plasma and blast metal oxide powders into the chamber to strip oxygen and yield pure metal, producing only water vapor as waste. The company says its design allows for smaller, more flexible reactors compared with incumbent large-scale equipment, which it believes can lower manufacturing costs and enable faster pivots between metals. Radify is focused initially on dysprosium and neodymium, key rare earths used in magnets and electronics, and is exploring additional metals including hafnium, uranium, scandium, titanium, iron, and aluminum. The five-person team is refining the technology in a lab in Campbell, California and expects to make several kilograms of pure metal per day by the end of the year. It plans to raise more capital to build a pilot reactor capable of producing up to 100 kilograms per day and to scale toward commercial competitiveness with incumbent producers. The company has raised just under $3 million to date from investors that include Overture, Founders Inc., Mana Ventures, and Acequia Capital.

Helios is building Proxi, an end-to-end AI platform designed for public policy, regulatory affairs, legal, compliance, and government teams. The product bundles four core modules: Consult (a conversational agent that continuously monitors legislative and regulatory activity), Scribe (a collaborative AI writing tool), Decipher (a large-scale document analysis engine), and a CRM that visually maps stakeholder relationships. Currently in beta, Proxi is being tested by users across federal, state, and local agencies as well as Fortune 500 companies and startups. The founders combine policy domain knowledge from the White House and State Department with machine-learning expertise from Microsoft and Datadog, which they tout as an "unfair advantage." Helios emphasizes security, applying top encryption standards and pursuing compliance audits to serve government clients. With $4 million in new seed capital, the team is prioritizing product refinement and strategic hiring over immediate monetization. Long term, management wants Helios to become the default interface for all public- and private-sector policy interaction, positioning itself against incumbents like Bloomberg Government, Fiscal Note, Palantir, OpenGov, and Civica.
