BUILDING
THE FUTURE

Addis Energy uses the Earth itself as the reactor — injecting nitrogen and water into iron-rich subsurface rocks, harnessing natural heat and pressure to produce geologic ammonia via a carbon-free, net energy-positive process. In plain terms: instead of building billion-dollar industrial plants above ground, they let the planet do the chemistry for them

Atlantic Quantum is building scalable quantum computers to tackle the world’s hardest computational challenges. By reducing complexity and cost to reach error correction at scale, AQ is creating a step change in computing infrastructure and drastically reducing the power and space needed to scale, setting the foundations for the computing platform of the future.

FabuBlox is the operating system and marketplace layer for the semiconductor fabrication world — a design and data management platform connecting chip designers, fabs, equipment makers, and materials suppliers through a common standard. In plain terms: they make it dramatically faster and cheaper to find a fab that can build your chip, unlocking the full potential of the domestic semiconductor renaissance.

Form’s solution is aiming to fundamentally replace the existing energy infrastructure landscape. By using their battery storage and software systems to sustainably optimize our grids, Form is developing a key building block to help actualize a fully renewable energy future.

Mori’s platform solution plans to sustainably transform the entire global food supply chain. With a first of its kind coating solution, Mori is able to integrate at scale into any point in the cold-chain, and apply a coating solution to virtually any food item, naturally extending their shelf life, reducing food waste and creating a more efficient and resilient food supply chain.

Osmoses is tackling industrial chemical separations at scale. By engineering molecular filters designed to distinguish gas molecules 100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, Osmoses is able to capture and convert existing carbon waste into cost effective, sustainable outputs.

Pascal aims to lead an industry-wide switch to non-volatile, fully sustainable solid refrigerants. By developing new systems which undergo large changes in temperature when compressed and expanded, Pascal’s solution allows for solid refrigerants to operate at the same pressure range as gaseous refrigerants for the first time. Such a transition will reduce 1.3 gigatons of CO₂e / year, forming a key building block for the industry to rapidly exceed its climate impact goals of net zero emissions.

Path Power is reimagining power transmission infrastructure through self-propelled underground cable systems that dramatically reduce the cost, complexity, and permitting burden of grid undergrounding. In plain terms: they make burying power lines fast, cheap, and scalable — enabling a more resilient electric grid for the next generation of electrification demand.

Propel Aero has invented a sodium-air fuel cell that delivers three to four times more energy per pound than lithium-ion batteries — a fundamentally new power architecture for electric aviation using sodium metal derived from table salt. In plain terms: they've built a clean power source capable of enabling electric flight at scales that existing battery technology simply cannot reach.

Rock Zero is reinventing hardrock lithium refining with a proprietary closed-loop chemical process that operates at under 100°C — dramatically lowering the cost and environmental impact of converting lithium-bearing minerals into battery-grade chemicals. In plain terms: they unlock the vast hardrock lithium deposits sitting in North America that have been stranded because conventional refining was too expensive and too dirty to be competitive.

Salient aims to provide critical forecasting for stakeholders to mitigate climate uncertainties. By combining novel ocean and land-surface data with machine learning and climate expertise, Salient is able to deliver the world’s most accurate subseasonal-to-seasonal weather forecasts 2 to 52 weeks in advance.

Volta Labs is on a mission to unlock the utility of genomics for the world. By building a novel fluidic sample manipulation platform, Volta Labs is able to solve the sample prep bottleneck, drastically reducing cost and waste, unlocking new capabilities and discoveries in biology that haven't been feasible before.

Vulcan Elements is building the only fully domestic, ally-sourced rare earth magnet manufacturing operation at scale in the United States — producing sintered NdFeB magnets with full supply chain traceability from mine to finished product, entirely outside Chinese control. In plain terms: they are solving one of America's most critical defense and industrial supply chain vulnerabilities, backed by $1.4B in government commitment.
