Genesis Space Flight Laboratories develops reentry capsules and provides platforms for microgravity research, including PocketQube-sized GEN payload platforms. Founded one year prior in Croatia, the company has completed two space missions — the orbital MAYASAT-1 mission aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 (Transporter-14) and the GEN-1 reentry demonstration on SSC Space’s RED KITE-powered sounding rocket — and has successfully flown and returned customer payloads. It validated two research payload modules on GEN-1, conducting fruit fly microgravity experiments and microbiology research on fungi and algae using a 25-sample NIR analysis platform. The company has established partnerships across Europe and with U.S. launch providers and built an early institutional customer base with repeat customers. With the recent Seed close, bringing total venture funding to €1.5 million, Genesis plans to develop the larger GEN-5 capsule, enable longer-duration missions, and expand its international team.

Codeplain develops an AI platform that automatically generates, tests and updates production-ready code from structured, plain-language software specifications, an approach it calls "Phoenix Architecture." The company positions specifications as durable assets that can be used to regenerate code on demand, reducing maintenance when APIs or integrations change. Early customers include DevRev, HYCU, and Incode, which use the platform to maintain integrations with frequently changing external APIs. Founder and CEO Dusan Omercevic previously built Cleanshelf (acquired by SAP LeanIX) and led product at SAP LeanIX and Zemanta. Codeplain operates from offices in Ljubljana, Berlin, and San Francisco. The recent €2.6M seed raise led by GapMinder with Silicon Gardens co-leading will fund further development and adoption of the platform.
