Astranis builds small geostationary communications satellites that cost a fraction of a traditional spacecraft. Each satellite serves a single country or region, so an operator buys dedicated bandwidth instead of leasing capacity on a shared platform. The company manufactures at its own facility in San Francisco and has flown missions for customers in Alaska, the Philippines and Mexico.

HQ: New York, United States · Generative Audio & Music · Conversational AI · Speech & Audio AI · 1001-5000 employees · Est. 2022 · Trust A · Hiring 139, 11 new
ElevenLabs is a voice artificial intelligence company founded in 2022 by two friends from Poland who were frustrated by how badly foreign films were dubbed into their own language. It builds speech synthesis, voice cloning, dubbing and conversational voice agents, and its models are widely regarded as the most natural sounding in the field, which has made it the default choice for audiobooks, video localisation and voice interfaces. Headquartered between London and New York and valued in the billions, it has also had to build unusually strict consent and detection controls because voice cloning is so easily abused.

Figma is an American design software company founded in 2012 that built a full interface design tool inside the browser, which made real-time multiplayer editing the default rather than an add-on. Its products now cover interface design and prototyping, whiteboarding through FigJam, developer handoff, slide decks and a code generation product that turns designs into working front-end components. Headquartered in San Francisco, it listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2025 after regulators blocked an attempted acquisition by Adobe, and it has become the default design tool at most software companies.
