Omen AI builds compact spectrometer sensors and signal-processing software to provide real-time monitoring of fluid health, detecting bacterial growth and chemical indicators of failing pumps and seals. The company began with customers in heavy equipment and Caterpillar dealerships before shifting significant focus to data centers after demand for on-premises coolant monitoring emerged. Omen is working with about a dozen data center customers, including TensorWave, as it refines and scales its offering. Founded in 2024 by CEO Zach Laberge, the startup has raised $40 million to date, including a $31 million Series A. Its technology aims to reduce long rack shutdowns by spotting contamination early and identifying wear through detection of elements like copper, chromium, and silicon. Omen positions recent advances in optics and signal processing as enabling affordable hardware at scale for this monitoring approach.

Uviquity develops solid-state far-UVC (200-230 nm) semiconductor light sources designed to provide safe, continuous, chemical-free disinfection for air, food, and water. Its core technology is a proprietary photonic integrated circuit that couples blue laser light into frequency-doubling waveguides to produce a scalable, single-chip far-UVC solution. The company says the chip can be made small enough to fit on the tip of a finger and to integrate into standard photonic packages for fixtures, air handling systems, food processing equipment, agricultural protection systems, water purification, and consumer appliances. Uviquity emerged from stealth with $6.6M in seed funding to accelerate R&D and productization of its platform. The company was founded in 2022 and is based in Raleigh, N.C. Uviquity positions its semiconductor approach as a more compact, energy-efficient, durable, and scalable alternative to bulky gas-discharge far-UVC lamps.

DiviGas has engineered a dual-layer hollow-fiber polymeric membrane with angstrom-scale functional features that separate hydrogen and carbon dioxide without chemical reactants. The membrane operates at temperatures up to 150°C and is resistant to common acidic gases (sulfur and chlorine), permitting use on more caustic, untreated input streams. The design uses an inexpensive inner support polymer and a thin selective outer layer, and can be manufactured on customized spinning lines similar in cost to standard ones. Founders met at SOSV’s HAX incubator; co-founder and CTO Ali Naderi led material development and Andre Lorenceau is co-founder and CEO. DiviGas is building a pilot-scale plant in Melbourne (operational target in March) and aims to scale production from months per demonstration unit to roughly one bundle per week, then to full manufacturing. The company says current units are two-to-three times more expensive today but expect costs to fall with volume; industry demand is high, with prospective customers requesting tens of millions of units.
