- We want to create the ecosystem that will power the creative AI revolution." Powerful words from Wonder Studios founder Xavier Collins, whose seed round we led last year, in conversation with Ziv Reichert.
- The science for identifying and preventing chronic diseases is improving exponentially. But our methods for actually detecting these diseases in the first place have barely changed. Fear-inducing needles, ugly testing kits gathering dust in a drawer at home. How important is the science if there’s no appetite for actually using these tests? While many companies have focused solely on science, Early is taking this a step further, putting design and usability at the forefront of at-home testing. Their at-home urine test screens
- Katie King, PhD, founder & CEO of LocalGlobe-backed BioOrbit, on developing early proof points in their mission to transform cancer treatment, and when scaled correctly, wider medicine. Earlier this month, BioOrbit's first prototype returned from space, where it successfully proved its method for forming protein crystals for a new class of medicine.
- Europe faces a race for AI sovereignty. Its factories are already kitted out with largely-imported machinery. But its data and deployment layer, which captures worker knowledge, ingests operational data, and trains models, is still up for grabs. But time is running out. Workers and experts who carry two centuries of industrial knowledge are marching towards retirement. So can Europe codify that knowledge, or risk losing it forever? microagi is leading the way through developing an ownable deployment and data layer for Europe.
- Anyone who's suffered from writer’s block will know that writing isn’t a time problem: it’s a thinking problem. Thinking of the right word to use, a better way to phrase something, or even, the right place to start. So while AI word processors might help you write faster and with higher output, they aren’t challenging you to be more thoughtful, creative, and authentic. That’s what Marker is building: an AI writing tool for people who believe in writing. Sitting alongside you as an editor, challenger, and intelligent reader, Marker
- AI is being promised at a scale it cannot yet deliver. Existing chips are constrained by high costs, scarcity of supply, and underperformance—meaning that gap between promise and reality is widening. So what if you could decouple AI workloads from the hardware itself? That’s exactly what ZML, and founder Steeve Morin, is building: a software that allows you to run on the fastest available chips, whether that’s NVIDIA, AMD, Google TPU, Apple Metal, or Intel Arc. Launched today, ZML/LLMD is a new LLM inference server
