After reviewing an exceptional pool of innovative startups, we're thrilled to announce the 3 companies selected for our February 28th Ai Pitch x Networking event!

Meet our selected innovators⚡️

✧ Hive Autonomy
Hive Autonomy delivers agentic physical AI for logistics that transforms industrial machinery operations. They signed a deal with target volume 200musd in ARR last week.

Their platform enables one operator to control multiple machines today while developing autonomous swarm capabilities for tomorrow, reducing costs by 30-60%.

With Toyota and Yara as strategic partners and targeting a $360B market, Hive's technology bridges the critical gap in the autonomous logistics value chain—turning conventional equipment into intelligent, self-coordinating systems that operate with minimal human intervention in an era of labor shortages and rising costs.

✧ https://t.co/O3ahJ4Jdeb
https://t.co/O3ahJ4Jdeb is an AI agent integrated directly into your browser, eliminating the pain of manual data processing.

Founded by former Google engineers, this tool transforms how data is extracted and utilized from websites, PDFs, and premium content. Unlike vision-based competitors, https://t.co/O3ahJ4Jdeb's DOM-based technical approach delivers higher accuracy at lower cost while supporting multi-tab processing and background operations.

With plans ranging from $9.99 monthly to enterprise-level offerings, the platform currently serves 108 users by automating copy-paste workflows for sales teams, researchers, and small businesses seeking data-driven operational transformation.

✧ Joint AI
Joint AI delivers AI agents for global logistics, transforming how freight forwarders handle millions of repetitive communications.

Led by logistics and tech veterans from Flexport and Google, their configurable solution automates customer inquiries while maintaining human oversight.
Already saving one top-50 freight partner $835,000 annually, Joint AI is strategically positioned to capture a significant share of the $22 billion logistics back-office market.

We're grateful to every team that applied. For those not selected this time, we eagerly look forward to your applications for future opportunities!!

Mark your calendars for February 28th!
