Kepler designs, builds, launches, and operates an advanced network of low earth orbit satellites with the ultimate goal of bringing the internet to outer space. Today, Kepler serves the needs of the earth by connecting machines all around the world using its satellites on orbit and other complementary networks. Through a host of compatible partner equipment, we make it easy to use satellite communications in your solution and route data over the best networks.

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems for America and its allies. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better. Our primary focus is building modern, scalable communications tools and platforms for satellites and space based communication for both the US Government and private companies.

Metamaterial Technologies Inc. (MTI) is a smart materials and photonics company that is changing the way we use, interact, and benefit from light. It designed a new class of multi-functional materials—also known as metamaterials—with engineered properties that go beyond what is found in nature. MTI has created a new patented platform technology, which has been developed using a variety of smart materials that are capable of dramatically changing the way light can be manipulated.

We build CARGO DRONES. Imagine you invent a new type of cargo airplane – unmanned, autonomous and cheaper to produce and operate than any aircraft in existence. Imagine it can fit as much cargo as a car can and you can build it in a microfactory wherever its market is. Imagine you can singlehandedly halve the prices of air cargo anywhere in the world and still be profitable. Imagine you can open new trade routes, which previously were thought of as unviable, and accelerate consumption and growth in communities worldwide, practically enabling e-commerce for the Next Billion.

Planet Labs’ API and satellite imagery platform provide access to data with global coverage, high relevance (through a fresh and consistent, deep archive), autonomous operations, and ease of use. This upends the traditional satellite and aerial imagery market, which is centered around tasking spacecraft to point and image a specific area -- resulting in limited observations, missed serendipitous events, and high-touch operations and product delivery.

Sterblue is a young and fast-growing company that operates at the intersection of Aerospace, Data Science, and Clean Energy. We build software for Drones to inspect Wind Turbines and Power Lines automatically using Artificial Intelligence. From automatic 3D navigation around infrastructures to online reports and automatic defect detection, we automate the entire inspection process to help Clean Tech grow into the future.

Iris Automation is an artificial intelligence and safety avionics company building collision-avoidance systems for autonomous vehicles. By enabling Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, Iris is the critical missing piece that takes commercial drone operations from theoretical to functional. Thousands of companies can now eliminate hazards and drive efficiency in their day-to-day work with this technology.
