Featured AI Startups
Founders: Joseph Burke and Chris Moberg
Ottometric provides a platform to ingest, clean and identify valuable data, visualize the data for deeper understanding, and identify where challenges may occur. Ottometric’s artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technology allows them to generate analytics to augment or replace ineffective manual review processes. Through implementing Ottometric’s platform, customers achieve significant cost reductions and higher accuracy than manual review of data. Ottometric is currently looking for strategic partners and investors for their next fundraising round.
Founders: Dave Shor, Karina Martins da Costa and Matthew Misbin
Lynq has created devices that are the first implementation of a decentralized, private, secure, and portable network. They are changing how people transmit location data, therefore allowing anyone to communicate for miles without infrastructure in addition to an unparalleled level of security and privacy. They created unique methods of frequency hopping that allow people to transmit location data in a way that is unable to be detected and therefore intercepted.
Founders: David Morczinek and Adam Kersnowski
AirWorks is a SaaS company headquartered in Boston that has created a cutting-edge autonomous drafting software for civil engineering and land surveying firms. Powered by AI, the AirWorks SaaS product can identify and classify points in any aerial dataset autonomously, later converting those points into fully rendered CAD drawings in record time, saving firms in the AEC industry hours in manual work and thousands of dollars in annual costs. With AirWorks, customers receive fully finalized engineering plans in CAD with linework and topography much faster than any traditional method.
