6thSense develops a tactile robotics AI data platform that pairs proprietary tactile gloves with egocentric camera sensors to capture synchronized visual and tactile information from real human work processes. Its platform automates the data production pipeline including sensor synchronization, calibration, quality control, and labeling. The company was founded by four co-founders with backgrounds in hardware, robotics, and large-scale AI data pipelines; CEO Jong Jin Baek is a Georgia Tech graduate and co-founder Matthew Wulff previously led a 20-person vision robotics team at Tesla. The team also includes hires from Amazon, DoorDash, and Tesla. After providing one hour of sample data to a design partner, 6thSense received a contract request worth at least $1 million and is currently conducting a proof of concept. The company recently joined Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch and completed a pre-seed raise of roughly $700K led by Krew Capital.

GIGR is a San Francisco startup developing Playad, an AI-driven creative workflow launched in Q3 2025 that applies cooperating marketing agents to the entire ad-making lifecycle—briefing, production, experimentation, measurement and iteration. The system’s first focus is interactive ads for gaming, where granular user actions such as taps and swipes provide rich feedback loops that feed Playad’s rapid A/B testing engine. By automating creative iteration, customers report up to 90 % reductions in production cost alongside improvements in acquisition efficiency. The platform is designed to expand beyond playables to encompass image and video formats within the same workflow, positioning GIGR as a broader AI-native creative platform. A seven-founder team with backgrounds at Bagelcode, Devsisters, PlayStation, YouTube and top universities drives the product. To finance development and go-to-market, the company has secured $5.4 million in pre-seed funding. No revenue or user numbers for GIGR have been disclosed to date.
