Industrial equipment dealers have unique inventory catalogs, pricing rules, and service workflows. Each deployment trains the AI on dealer-specific product lines and customer patterns. The founder's existing relationships with Cummins, Harley-Davidson, and other industrial OEMs provide a distribution channel that horizontal AI sales tools lack.
Using conversational AI for lead routing and qualification across phone, chat, and email, plus NLP-driven workflow automation for CRM/DMS/ERP systems.
Transformer-only ASIC and inference supercomputer stack positioned against Nvidia B200.
If transformers remain dominant, hardwiring the graph into silicon plus owning the pod and rack layer gives Etched a cost-per-token edge NVIDIA cannot match without abandoning generality.
Lets mechanical engineers design parts in seconds instead of hours with AI-native CAD.
SolidWorks has not been meaningfully challenged in 30 years. Aurorin built a parametric kernel from scratch with an AI chat interface, and a 3x SpaceX intern with GPU engineering experience is exactly the right person to do it.
Helps hardware engineers find components in seconds with AI search inside Slack and Teams.
Hardware engineers waste hours cross-referencing datasheets across distributor sites. BaseFrame embeds a parts copilot directly in Slack and Teams, which is where the buying conversations already happen.
Builds tankless dive gear that extracts breathable oxygen from water via electrolysis.
Tankless dive gear using electrolysis to extract oxygen from water. If the physics works at depth, it replaces scuba tanks entirely. The founder is a Finnish electrical engineer with the country's highest certification and military diving experience. Moonshot hardware with multi-domain potential (sea, land, space).
