Plaid Semiconductors is building a next-generation hardware platform that fits the computing power of an entire data center rack onto a single substrate.

This breakthrough delivers unprecedented performance in compute density, bandwidth, and energy efficiency—far beyond today’s semiconductor technologies.

SonoVascular has developed the SonoThrombectomy™ System, a next-generation ultrasound-facilitated catheter system that treats blood clots more safely and effectively.

This innovative system employs a hybrid mechanical-pharmaco approach, uniquely combining focused ultrasound, microbubbles, and thrombolytic drugs in an integrated catheter to enable precise clot disruption and elimination—without vessel damage, blood loss, or ICU admission.

Microbubbles act as amplifiers under ultrasound activation, mechanically loosening clot fibrin and enhancing drug penetration for superior outcomes.

Fibarcode is a fiber-based, embedded textile labeling technology that enables durable authentication, traceability, and end-of-use data management across the entire product life cycle—while minimizing disruption to recycling processes.

Clarus Labs builds a portable kinetic-fluorogenic platform that delivers on-site, lab-grade oxidation (rancidity) testing for meat and pet food in under 10 minutes.

This enables manufacturers to verify freshness, optimize antioxidant dosing, and reduce waste—while creating a scalable platform for future tests in food, environmental, and diagnostic applications.

Coulomb Technology is pioneering next-generation sodium-ion batteries that are fire-safe, durable, and environmentally sustainable.

By moving beyond lithium, we reduce dependence on critical foreign minerals and promote domestic manufacturing to strengthen U.S. energy security.

Our innovative battery technology delivers reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly power solutions for renewable energy integration, electric mobility, and defense—supporting a cleaner, safer, and more self-reliant energy future.

Soteria Formulations develops biodegradable, microplastic-free delivery platforms that extend shelf life and field performance of lower inputs of diverse agrobiologicals and agrochemicals.

VibraPower powers the next generation of intelligent factories by harvesting machine vibrations to fuel AI-enabled sensors—creating self-sustaining, battery-free networks that drive autonomous maintenance and real-time industrial intelligence.

Nhu Energy provides innovative digital operating technology that transforms distributed energy resources into resilient energy storage microgrids.

These microgrids deliver year-round ROI, clean energy, and reliable uninterrupted power for mission-critical commercial-industrial, utility, and defense facilities.

Solutions are de-risked upfront with state-of-the-art hardware-in-the-loop simulation testing and supported over the asset’s life through trademarked Operating Technology as a Service (OTaaS®).

PolyPV develops lightweight, flexible organic solar modules that provide reliable power in remote and off-grid environments where traditional rigid panels are impractical.

SkyNano is commercializing a novel approach to capture, convert, and store CO2 waste emissions into high-value carbon nanomaterials that enable low-cost domestic manufacturing of a critical material currently sourced exclusively from adversarial countries.
