KAHU

KAHU aims to close a persistent gap in maritime visibility - the inability to continuously track vessels not transmitting AIS (Automatic Identification System) data. AIS can be switched off, spoofed, or absent, creating blind spots exploited by illegal fishing, shadow fleets, and other high-risk actors. The AIS market is also dominated by a few providers, limiting access and transparency. This affects not only maritime safety and security but also the monitoring of ocean environments. We address this by building the first real-time, crowdsourced radar detection network for the ocean. Our onboard software connects to existing vessel radar, collects radar echoes, and streams them securely to the cloud using low-bandwidth protocols. There, echoes are linked into vessel tracks and fused with AIS, satellite imagery, and other data layers to produce a continuous, sea-level view of vessel movements, enabling comprehensive visibility over human activity at sea and supporting timely, informed action.

Munchi

Munchi is building the AI-powered operating system for restaurants. Today, most restaurants run on disconnected tools: one system for POS, another for payments, another for online ordering, loyalty, reservations, kiosks, analytics, marketing, and delivery integrations. These systems rarely communicate with each other, creating operational chaos, poor customer experiences, fragmented data, and lost revenue. Restaurants are expected to operate like modern tech companies, but most still rely on outdated software built decades ago. Munchi solves this by bringing everything into one unified platform. We combine cloud POS, payments, online ordering, self-service kiosks, loyalty, reservations, customer analytics, and AI-driven automation into a single system designed specifically for modern hospitality businesses. Every order and payment becomes connected customer data that restaurants can actually use to grow. Our infrastructure helps restaurants increase repeat purchases, automate operations, understand their customers better, and run more efficiently without needing multiple vendors or complex integrations. But we believe the bigger shift happening is AI. Restaurants and local businesses are entering a new era where AI agents will handle large parts of operations: answering calls, managing bookings, launching campaigns, analyzing performance, handling customer communication, forecasting sales, and eventually helping businesses make operational and financial decisions autonomously. Most businesses are not ready for this transition because their data and systems are fragmented. Munchi is building the infrastructure layer that enables this future. By owning the flow of orders, payments, customer interactions, and operational data, we can power intelligent AI agents directly inside the daily workflows of restaurants. Over time, this evolves beyond software into an AI-native business operating system. Our vision is to become the backbone infrastructure for local commerce globally, where payments, operations, AI, customer engagement, and eventually financial services work together seamlessly inside one platform. Today we focus on restaurants. Long term, we believe the same infrastructure can power millions of local businesses worldwide.

Thingtesting

Thingtesting is a place to research and review internet-born brands. On the heels of the direct-to-consumer revolution, there has been, and continues to be, an incredible proliferation of new consumer brands online — but, coupled with the prevalence of paid, fake and cherry-picked reviews, it’s become downright impossible for consumers to know who and what to trust when considering products for purchase. Our mission is to help people shop better. We are a venture-backed early-stage startup and closed our seed round of financing led by Forerunner Ventures. We have been fortunate to receive recognition for our hard work along the way from the likes of TechCrunch, Vogue Business, and Modern Retail.
