Foundational Industries is developing AI-native factories that span design through production via a single orchestration layer combined with agentic robotics. The company aims to make introducing new products a software change rather than a plant overhaul, enabling faster, higher-quality domestic manufacturing. Foundational plans to reshore supply chains for AI data-center equipment as well as defense, energy, and medical sectors. Its first manufacturing facility is scheduled to launch at the end of the year and will focus on capacity for AI data-center hardware such as power, cooling, interconnect, and related physical infrastructure. The company was founded by leaders from Google's physical AI platform and executives from two of the nation's largest contract manufacturers. Foundational raised a $25 million seed round and is actively hiring as it scales operations.

Quadric develops the Chimera GPNPU, a fully programmable general-purpose AI inference processor architecture optimized for on-device AI/ML inference and classic DSP and control algorithms. The Chimera processors scale from 1 to over 3,200 TOPS in multi-chiplet configurations and support both convolutional and transformer-based models, including on-device LLM inference and emerging VLA world models. Quadric's software toolchain converts AI models into C++ and enables SoC teams to program in Python or C++, allowing models to be updated on shipped silicon. The company offers automotive-grade safety-enhanced versions of its architecture and emphasizes a software-updatable approach so the same silicon can run models published after the chip was designed. Quadric reported that product revenues more than tripled in the prior year and that it reached profitability. The company is headquartered in Burlingame, California.

Polsia builds an orchestration platform of AI agents intended to manage core business workflows such as coding, research, cold outreach, paid advertising, and customer support. The founder framed the product as enabling AI to run companies, asserting the approach lowers barriers to company creation by allowing individuals to build with “an idea and a laptop.” Polsia said it ran its own fundraising process on the platform, using the system to manage the data room, investor briefings, and diligence. The company reported it is approaching a $10 million annual run rate while operating with one human and no employees. Polsia named a variety of infrastructure and technology partners, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, AWS, and others, as part of its ecosystem. The company presented its long-term mission as expanding participation in the AI economy by enabling more autonomous company operations.

Signull Labs is building Skye, an AI application for iPhone designed to create an "agentive" home screen by using iOS widgets to surface contextual information and suggested actions. The app (currently in private testing) aims to deliver continuous, ambient assistance—ranging from weather and location-based recommendations to drafting emails, preparing meetings and alerting on suspicious charges—without requiring users to open a separate chatbot. The founder, Nirav Savjani (also known as signüll), previously worked at companies such as Google and Meta and has shared demos that generated substantial interest online. Skye has accumulated a waitlist in the tens of thousands, with some communications citing more than 25,000 sign-ups. Financially, the company raised over $3.58 million in a September 2025 pre-seed round at an implied post-money valuation of about $19.5 million. There is no public launch date yet, and the team is moving from private testing toward deploying the app to those on its waitlist.
