Culture Biosciences develops automated bio-reactor that helps biotech companies optimize their manufacturing processes and brings products to market faster. The company also builds automated tools for fermentation. It has a digital bio-manufacturing platform to enable scientists to run, monitor, and analyze bio-reactors faster than traditional approaches by robotic sample handling and cloud data monitoring and analysis. Culture Biosciences was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
Descartes Labs launched as a spin-out from Los Alamos National Laboratory in December of 2014. The underlying technology uses computer vision, machine learning, and cloud-based infrastructure to teach computers to see and understand the world around them. Initially, the technology was applied to develop an agricultural model to analyze corn and soy production in the United States. Using imagery from various satellite constellations, weather data, and other datasets, the model accurately predicted yield six months prior to the end of the growing season. Realizing the potential for the technology applied to use cases around the globe, Descartes Labs turned its focus to developing a cloud-based supercomputing platform for the application of machine intelligence to massive data sets. This platform could be used by anyone to develop intelligent learning models to do science on data, and make that data actionable. Capitalizing on the confluence of advances in AI and high-performance cloud computing – along with the rapid increase of sensors capturing information all over the globe – Descartes Labs has created an enterprise data refinery that enables organizations to model – and predict changes in – natural resources and the entire value chains in which they live. With an initial focus on satellite imagery, Descartes Labs processes a pipeline of data flows from all the major satellite constellations, at scale, to provide instant access to analysis-ready images of the entire world via a massive, searchable, on-demand interface. For example, petabytes of imagery can be searched and retrieved, and all features from various constellations accessed, in under 100 milliseconds. By collecting, normalizing, and presenting science-ready data generated by satellites, the Descartes Labs Platform is advancing and accelerating unique applications of machine intelligence for consumers, corporations, and governments worldwide. Descartes Labs is headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with offices in San Francisco, Los Alamos, and New York City.
At Full Harvest, our vision is a world where there is 0% food waste and 100% 'full harvests', where all edible produce grown goes towards consumption. We aim to reinvent the produce supply chain with technology to bring the industry online for the first time ever and maximize resources.
Geltor is the bio-design company creating high-value designer proteins, including collagen. Its proteins are 100% animal- and GMO-free, and are cultivated using a sustainable fermentation process. Geltor’s products provide unprecedented functionality and benefits for consumers, while producing less waste and consuming fewer natural resources than archaic protein production platforms such as animals.
Indico Data transforms unstructured data into actionable insights. With the AI and ML-powered Indico Unstructured Data Platform(tm), enterprises of all sizes can automate, analyze, and apply unstructured data - documents, emails, images, videos and more - to a wide range of enterprise workflows. This enables them to gain rich insight and maximize the value of their existing software investments, including RPA, CRM, ERP and BI, by enabling these systems to work with unstructured data.
Leaf is a data network that connects apps and services to farm data from equipment, sensor, and software platforms. Leaf’s API allows developers to easily validate grower consent, access high quality agriculture data, and scale their products. With Leaf, developers are building a food system that makes us healthier, increases farmers’ profits, benefits the environment, and is accessible to everyone.
