Featured Startups
AI Governance
Credo AI One system of record to discover, govern, and monitor AI and agents across models, apps, and vendors, mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001. Trusted by Chevron, Mastercard, PepsiCo, Disney, and Colgate-Palmolive.
ROI in the Agentic Enterprise
Pay-i Connects GenAI spend directly to business KPIs, so leaders can forecast cost and prove ROI on agentic initiatives, speaking to the CFO-adjacent question every board is now asking.
Building Trust in the Agentic Enterprise
Reality Defender Real-time detection of deepfakes and AI-generated content across audio, video, and text. Protecting the enterprise as synthetic media becomes a board-level risk.
Future Agentic AI Platforms
Thread AI A composable platform for building and orchestrating agentic workflows across enterprise systems, giving teams a clear path from pilot to production.
Building Trustworthy Agents
Arcade.dev The secure action layer for AI agents. Agents that reason but can't safely act deliver no ROI. Arcade handles agent authorization so no action executes without control. In production with a top-5 bank, Duracell, and leading pharmaceutical companies.
Data Quality
Datology AI Turns raw enterprise data into high-quality, agent-ready data, the foundation most agentic programs underestimate.
