The rapid growth of AI, data science, and GPU-based workloads has resulted in a "data explosion," creating a widening gap between well-resourced organizations and the majority who lack GPU expertise. This disparity is particularly pronounced in the $16.5 billion simulation software market and the $600 billion cloud computing market, where prohibitive costs and limited expertise often hinder impactful R&D.
Problem
Today's undergraduate students are failing lower division survey classes at increasingly high rates (up to 41%). This trend is expected to continue as students entering universities today are at least a grade level behind previous generations. (https://nces.ed.gov/whatsnew/press_releases/2_09_2023.asp). Thus, today's entering freshman need additional help mastering critical skills.
Annate Bitherapeutics is fundamentally reengineering a natural component of the human innate immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. Our approach focuses on Relapse Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM), a difficult stage where patients become resistant to all available therapies, leaving them with few options and no cure. Rather than relying on traditional drugs, stem-cell transplants, or T-cell activation, our approach harnesses Apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1), a protein that naturally protects humans against the parasite Trypanosoma brucei.
80% of all business data is structured data in the form of tables and databases. Regulatory constraints like HIPAA, CCPA & GDPR make it difficult and costly to run AI, analytics, and software development workflows on structured data. With the synthetic data market projected to grow from $600M in 2025 to $4.9B by 2032 at a 35% CAGR, there is an urgent need for scalable, efficient, and privacy-compliant solutions.
We have developed novel, game-changing, battery cells for the energy storage, backup power, and e-mobility markets. Current customers have problems with high cost and safety as well as the use of earth-scare materials for their batteries. Most raw materials for commercial lithium-ion cells come from China and now there are large tariffs placed on this material. In addition, all lithium and sodium batteries must be manufactured in a very expensive dry-room. Our batteries can be made in ambient conditions.
HAND Technologies, LLC (HAND) is a custom materials company founded upon extreme performance materials discovered at Mississippi State University (MSU). Our startup is committed to expanding the high-performance materials options available to the U.S. aerospace market, starting with one materials platform at a time. We are currently commercializing a platform of BODA-derived resins (BDR) to help solve a staggering production limitation plaguing the carbon/carbon (C/C) composites industry.
With 500K+ annual structural fires causing $500B+ in economic loss, firefighters across the U.S. face life-threatening risks searching for victims, resulting in tens of thousands of injuries, fatalities, and immense healthcare costs exceeding $6B annually, despite 60% of these fires having no human presence. Beyond firefighting, industries like oil and gas encounter thousands of dangerous incidents yearly (300+ fires, 300+ explosions annually), while over 15,000 HazMat emergencies demand swift, advanced robotic intervention.
