Vori is the only modern operating system for the grocery industry, giving small and mid-sized supermarkets a performance edge to compete against retail giants and combat macroeconomic forces such as inflation, the labor crisis, the rise of e-commerce, and supply chain issues. Vori’s grocery OS combines inventory management workflows and a modern point-of-sale system into a single platform, seamlessly connecting data across the food supply chain. By digitizing manual tasks, streamlining operations, and aggregating data into actionable insights, Vori helps grocers make more precise decisions about replenishment buying, retail pricing and margin, product merchandising and promotions, shopper marketing, labor, vendor collaboration, and more. Vori was founded in 2019 in East Palo Alto and is led by Stanford engineers from Space X, Google, and Facebook. Vori proudly boasts a world-class and diverse team with backgrounds in artificial intelligence, machine learning, fintech, logistics, and grocery store operations.

Primogene GmbH is a biotechnology company based in Leipzig, Germany. We develop bioprocesses to manufacture functional ingredients based on multi-enzyme systems. Our ingredients are used for nutrition, personal care and as raw materials for pharma purposes, to support life’s journey, from the first breath to the golden years.

Backed by IndieBio and SOSV, Fermeate is the first startup in the world to apply optogenetics and photomolecular gene circuits to microbial based biomanufacturing. Photomolecular gene circuits open a new era in biomanufacturing. Essentially, software-like level of control, and fast on/off switching that allows biology to live up to the ideal of “programmability.”

At Omegga, we revolutionize spectroscopy use by combining it with artificial intelligence. We offer data-driven spectral insights for broad applications - cheaper, more accurate and in real time. Starting with animals - specifically poultry - but aiming far beyond. Our first proven application is to solve the big problem that male baby chicks are killed after hatching. We detect the sex of chicken embryos in the egg just by shining light through eggs and analyzing sex-specific patterns via AI. Our approach is non-invasive, early and cost-effective.

Afresh is the AI platform for Grocery — built for how grocery actually operates, from the fresh perimeter to center store and retail to distribution centers. The Afresh platform helps grocers make smarter decisions about what to buy, order, produce, and sell across the entire operation, delivering higher profits, less waste, and fresher food on the shelf. Founded in 2017 with the mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all, Afresh today supports more than 12,500 departments across 40 states, partnering with Albertsons Companies, Stater Bros., Meijer, Wakefern, and more.
