1. Osmo, United States, 2022
https://www.osmo.ai/
Enterprise, Raised $60M
CEO/Co-Founder: Alex Wiltschko
https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-wiltschko-0a7b7537/
What? Digitizing the sense of smell that can read, map, and reproduce scents by converting molecular data into digital information
Why? Ability to digitize smell
How? Sensors detect and convert molecular compositions into digital data, which is then organized using tools like the Primary Odor Map (POM) to uncover hidden patterns and relationships. Finally, this digital data can be transformed back into perceivable molecules
Example
Trained AI can sniff out counterfeit sneakers by using sensitive sensors to distinguish molecular differences
Reason to be in CNW? Hyper-smelling AI and olfactory science have made it possible to digitize smells in ways that were previously unimaginable. Allows industries to enhance the flavour and fragrance sector, improve public health through early disease detection, ensure food safety, and simulate or enhance how smells are perceived and processed

2. Agtonomy, United States, 2021
https://www.agtonomy.com/
Autonomous, Raised $55M
CEO/Co-Founder: Tim Bucher
https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbucher
What? Autonomous farming tooling solutions, such as self-driving tractors and other equipment to manage agricultural operations
Why? Remote human assistance
How? With few taps, farmers can plan tasks using a smart farm task ecosystem that digitally connects self-driving tractors with farm tools and implements. This system automates processes such as mowing and spraying while enabling farmers to monitor and efficiently manage their farms and vehicle fleets
Reason to be in CNW? It connects self-driving tractors with tools to enhance efficiency and sustainability in agriculture by integrating technology from well-known tractor brands, ensuring seamless adoption and scalability

3. RedBrick AI, United States, 2020
https://redbrickai.com/
HealthTech, Raised $5M
CEO/Co-Founder: Shivam Sharma
https://www.linkedin.com/in/shivam-sharma-38109210a/
What? Medical data annotation tools, with a primary focus on computer vision training data for radiology AI
Why? Streamline radiology workflows
How? Platform supports radiology AI models for medical imaging datasets from CT, MRI, and ultrasound scans. Users upload data and perform precise annotation tasks with pixel-perfect accuracy and 3D contouring tools
Reason to be in CNW? Medical imaging AI tools save time for radiologists, increase efficiency in hospitals, and ensure high-quality annotations through multi-step review processes and validation checks
4. Reality Defender, United States, 2021
https://www.realitydefender.com/
Enterprise, Raised $40M
CEO/Co-Founder: Benjamin Colman
https://www.linkedin.com/in/benpcolman/
What? Multi-modal deepfake detection platform that identifies and assesses risks associated with AI-generated content
Why? Growing threat of synthetic media
How? Multi-modal Enterprise solution to detect anomalies in media, such as pixelation in images, voice cloning in audio, or inconsistencies in text. It offers real-time detection tools via APIs, web apps, and on-site integrations, and provides PDF reports and scorecards to help visualize the results of each scan
Reason to be in CNW? Designed to combat the growing threat of deepfakes and manipulated digital media by providing organizations with the tools to identify and assess risks associated with false media content. It can be used for a variety of applications, including Know-Your-Customer verification, contact center fraud detection, real-time video authentication, image authentication, disinformation monitoring, and brand protection

5. Brainboard, United States, 2019
https://www.brainboard.co/
Enterprise, Raised Yes(NA)
CEO/Co-Founder: Chafik Belhaoues
https://www.linkedin.com/in/chafik-belhaoues-%E2%98%81-4145b320/
What? Visual platform designed to simplify the process of building and deploying cloud infrastructure by automatically generating Terraform code
Why? Consistent cloud infra standards across projects
How? Platform allows users to design first, providing a visual representation of the infrastructure and then automatically generates Terraform code from these designs, bridging the gap between visual architecture and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Reason to be in CNW? Platform addresses the challenges of collaboration and maintaining consistent standards in cloud infrastructure projects. By reducing complexity compared to traditional code-centric approaches and adhering to IaC best practices, it ensures that the Terraform code matches the visual architecture
