Car plants find out the paint job was wrong after it dries.
SprayVision, a Czech startup, measures coating thickness while it's still wet, right on the line.
120+ customers. Porsche, BMW, VW and Magna on the roster. Claims up to 20% less paint.

Billions of devices ship with software that never changes again.
Updating a factory sensor today means cross-compiled C and brittle scripts. Atym runs WebAssembly containers on chips with 256KB of RAM instead.
CEO: Dell's former IoT and edge CTO.

Step 1: hack a factory controller and win CSAW.
Step 2: give the world a free one.
Thiago Alves's OpenPLC has 1M+ downloads in 150+ countries. Autonomy Logic now sells the cloud layer on top: 26,000 users, Momenta-led seed.

Half the scrap in a metal foundry is optional.
That's what TVARIT customers are seeing: 50% less scrap, 18% less energy.
Frankfurt AI trained on metallurgy, not generic dashboards. 55+ plants, €14M+ a year in customer savings. @TvaritAI

Astral never sold an AI model.
OpenAI bought it anyway.
Charlie Marsh's Rust tools (Ruff, uv, ty) are plumbing millions of Python devs use daily. uv claims 10-100x faster installs than pip.
Now it's Codex infrastructure. @astral_sh @charliermarsh

48% fewer near-misses.
That's what a five-ship pilot with Eastern Pacific Shipping reportedly showed after Orca AI went onto the bridge.
No new ships. Thermal cameras, radar and AI bolted onto old ones. Seaspan runs it on 100+ vessels. @OrcaAInfo

The man who built Google Street View bet on bridge cracks.
Luc Vincent backed @spotscale in 2017. Its AI now turns drone flights into 3D models that flag cracks down to 0.2 mm.
Next test: the Öresund Bridge.
Founder @LudvigEmgard started it in 2013.

His first startup made lithium-ion batteries.
His second one stores cold.
Said Al-Hallaj's NETenergy licensed phase-change tech from NREL to shave 40% off a building's peak cooling load.
25+ prototypes in. Now it has to survive real rooftops.

$1.3B valuation. Zero acquisitions announced.
Onodrim Industries wants to buy the small European factories making radios, cameras and sensors for defense, then scale them with Palantir-style software.

Most startups sell software to property managers.
Supa just buys the property manager.
7 UK block-management agencies so far. About 20,000 homes. £21M seed to buy more and hand the admin to AI.

1.2 gigawatt-hours.
That's how much European battery storage a 2-year-old Stockholm startup already runs through an AI trading agent.
Green Voltis just raised €13.5M to take on utility trading desks across 10 countries.

The next AI bottleneck might be hands, not chips.
Darwin Robotics (@darwin_robotics) is training robot technicians to rack servers and route cables by watching humans do it. $3.6M pre-seed, YC backed, first pilots targeted for early 2027.

Wall Street never had a spot screen for uranium.
Uranium Digital is building one. Yellowcake trades 24/7, the drums stay in storage, and a 1:1 backed digital receipt changes hands.
@uraniumdigital_ raised a $16.5M Series A led by Blockchain Capital.

Most microneedles carry the drug.
ArrayPatch's needles are the drug. No polymer, just medicine shaped into microscopic spikes that dissolve into skin.
Big bet: a GLP-1 patch instead of weekly shots. €3.2M seed to push toward first human trials.

Your clinician never sees your Tuesday.
Siggy does. Daily check-ins plus Apple Watch, Oura and Whoop data, rolled into one score. A clinician still makes every call.
$6M pre-seed, Village Global led. @SiggyMD, CEO @SabbaghJonathan

Returns software was built for the wrong-size shirt.
Claimlane went after the hard stuff: cracked ski bindings, squeaky sofas. Repairs, parts, supplier claims.
Now @claimlane is wrapping it in AI agents. €5.6M Series A, Verb Ventures led.

The best factory inspector never looks away.
Syn2core puts an AI co-pilot on smart glasses for car plant workers. It flags a wrong step as it happens and logs every move.
The quieter bet: that footage trains factory robots.
$4.5M seed.

An Indian engineering giant co-led a Finnish power startup's Series A.
Larsen & Toubro joined Lifeline and Eviny on €9M for Vensum Power. Its software-defined converters claim half the losses.
Looks like a path to the factory floor, not just a check.

They're betting one quieter chip can replace a hundred babysitter qubits.
Quint Computing embeds error suppression in superconducting hardware. Target: 100x less correction overhead.
