Founded in 2017 and based in Palo Alto, SambaNova designs and sells AI systems such as the SN40L and the next-generation SN50 for high-performance inference and model serving. The SN40L launched in September 2023 and became available on-premises in November 2023; the SN50 was unveiled in February 2026 and is due to begin shipping to customers in the second half of 2026 with SoftBank as its first deployment partner. SambaNova positions itself as a provider of “premium inference,” claiming the ability to fit multi-trillion-parameter models onto a single rack to run them quickly. The company has commercial wins including JPMorgan Chase, Saudi Aramco, Intel, and other Japanese firms. It has a multi-year partnership with Intel that includes co-developing products and go-to-market efforts, and it says current funding will help scale operations and secure its supply chain to meet strong demand.

Founded in 2016, Innovafeed develops technology to rear and transform the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) at industrial scale to produce protein and oil ingredients for animal and plant nutrition. Its proprietary, sensor-driven and partially robotic production process and wet transformation method aim to optimise breeding conditions and product digestibility. The company says its Nesle production unit is fully operational and has produced over 15,000 tons of protein and oil in three years while increasing volumes tenfold and cutting production costs by seven. Innovafeed plans to prioritise commercial deployment of its Hilucia™ product ranges—particularly in functional segments of aquaculture and pet food—while redirecting investment toward industrial equipment, applications development, and operational excellence. As part of this new phase the company is reorganising activities around Nesle, integrating R&D from Gouzeaucourt and planning a workforce reduction tied to that integration. Innovafeed reports strong commercial traction with revenues doubling annually and emphasizes the environmental benefits of its circular industrial model.
