AnankeLabs is developing KAIROS Substrate, a real-time deterministic safety engine, to help organizations operating AI, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems solve structural exposure to novel, zero-day threats with a proactive physics engine that mathematically calculates exact breaking points before execution. We are tackling the fundamental failure of reactive, probabilistic defenses. Today, AI, cybersecurity, and robotics rely on known historical data—like threat signatures or mapped environments—to predict safety. This creates a permanent, widespread synchronization lag across modern infrastructure, leaving systems structurally exposed to novel, zero-day catastrophes and unpredictable "distribution shifts." This problem deeply affects operators across multiple high-stakes domains: AI Safety: Operators rely on post-generation statistical classifiers, forcing them to anticipate every adversarial path. This leaves systems highly exposed between vulnerability discovery and classifier updates. Cybersecurity: Current defenses depend on pattern-matching that requires a known signature. This creates a dangerous reality where defenders are forced to absorb the initial zero-day breach just to extract the signature needed to stop future attacks. Robotics: Systems use neural policies optimized for statistical averages. When encountering novel environments, they lack a physical safety substrate, resulting in hardware executing a "software hallucination at full mechanical torque" and causing kinetic collisions. AnankeLabs is creating an entirely new category of safety by shifting away from guessing if an action is safe based on past data, and moving toward a deterministic engine built on first principles. We built KAIROS Substrate, a real-time safety physics engine that acts as an automatic brake. Instead of relying on pattern-matching, it evaluates actions before execution, instantly detecting and blocking structurally unsound actions across AI, cyber, and robotics by calculating exact mathematical breaking points. Crucially, we made auditability a structural property of the engine itself. Because KAIROS is perfectly deterministic (identical inputs produce identical outputs at ε=10⁻⁶), it automatically generates an immutable, byte-identically replayable trace of every gate decision as a side effect. This eliminates subjective incident reporting and natively satisfies strict regulatory regimes like the EU AI Act, Machinery Regulation 2023/1230, DORA, and NIS2. The spark that fired our mission was the realization that relying on statistics to secure critical infrastructure is a dead-end. Watching security teams permanently synchronize their defenses to yesterday's attack surface highlighted an unacceptable structural flaw in modern technology. We saw the same unacceptable risks in autonomous systems, where a simple distribution shift could cause heavy machinery to hallucinate and collide with its environment. We realized that true safety couldn't be bolted on as an afterthought or solved with better guesswork; it had to be deterministic and mathematical. We set out to build AnankeLabs because organizations deserve a proactive safeguard that prevents failures from unseen threats from the ground up, rather than just mitigating the damage after the fact.

North Star Tech Oy is a Finnish company that makes research integrity verifiable. Its product, North Keeper, is a verifiability layer for the research lifecycle, built on Microsoft Azure. Research integrity is now a board-level obligation for universities, research funders, and publishers, driven by the reproducibility crisis, fabricated results, and tightening funder mandates. Today integrity is asserted, not proven: ethics approvals sit in filing cabinets, reproducibility lives in a methods section few can rerun, and grant spending is reconciled long after the money is gone. North Keeper runs deterministic checks on the research record and turns each passed check into verifiable evidence. It can prove that identified records met defined integrity controls at a point in time, recorded as evidence a funder, journal, or auditor can verify directly. This is the distinction the product is built on: proof, not assurance. It does not claim that a scientific conclusion is true. The first check covers ethical consent, with reproducibility and responsible spending as deliberate later phases. Each passed check is issued as a tamper-evident, post-quantum-signed True North Certificate and recorded in the True North Registry, a public, append-only record anyone can verify against. North Keeper consumes Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure Cost Management as substrate rather than rebuilding them; the owned engines and the registry are what make the evidence independent. North Keeper is a transactable ISV product on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, with metered consumption pricing and Microsoft co-sell, so customers buy through their existing Microsoft agreement. North Star Tech Oy is based in Helsinki and serves universities, research funders, and publishers across the EU and the Nordic region first, then the wider global research market.

Custena is an AI workspace for the investor-facing and fund-ops teams at private-markets fund managers.. Built for the investor-facing and fund-operations teams at private-markets fund managers: LP reporting, DDQs, ad-hoc LP and auditor requests, and reconciliation against the administrator. What the agent does: Ingest and normalize. Statements, notices and emails in any format, mapped into one current fund record. Grounded answering. DDQ and ad-hoc questions answered straight from that record, cited every time. Reconciliation. Catches when the administrator's numbers and your internal records do not match, down to the exact line. Every number is traced to source. You see where each figure came from and the exact math that produced it, so it can be checked before it reaches an LP. Built on what you already use, not instead of it. No migration, no re-homed files. Custena connects to the Excel, Outlook and data room you run today, reads fund data in place across administrator exports and systems like eFront and Investran, and layers the agent on top. It follows your SOPs, not ours. Custena picks up your firm's procedures from the documents you already have, then routes approvals, cites every source and honors side-letter terms the way your team already does.

CircuCity is a circular e-commerce platform built to make sustainable consumption easier, more practical, and honestly, more appealing in everyday life. At its core, it is a marketplace where people can buy and sell second-hand items alongside new sustainable products, all within one ecosystem designed to extend product life cycles. But it’s not just about transactions. It’s about shifting habits. The problem we are addressing is rooted in the linear economy — the “take, make, dispose” model that still dominates global consumption patterns. Products are manufactured, purchased, used briefly, and discarded, often long before their functional life ends. This cycle drives resource depletion, carbon emissions, and growing waste streams. At the same time, consumers are becoming more aware of environmental challenges. Many want to make better choices, but the systems around them are fragmented and inconvenient. Second-hand markets exist, of course. But they are often scattered across multiple platforms, inconsistent in quality, and sometimes lacking trust. Sustainable alternatives, on the other hand, can be expensive or difficult to find. As a result, the intention to consume responsibly frequently clashes with convenience, price, and habit. People default to what is easiest — and that often means buying new, fast, and disposable. CircuCity bridges this gap. We provide a unified, user-friendly platform where circular choices are not an afterthought but the default. By integrating resale, reuse, and sustainable new products into one marketplace, we reduce friction in the decision-making process. Users can extend the life of items they no longer need, discover quality second-hand goods, and support more responsible brands — all in one place. Beyond functionality, we are building incentives into the system. Through mechanisms such as reward points, engagement challenges, and community features, CircuCity makes sustainable behavior visible and rewarding. The goal is not to lecture or guilt consumers into better habits. It is to design a system where circular consumption feels natural, economically sensible, and even motivating. Why does this matter? Because structural change requires behavioral change, and behavioral change requires better infrastructure. People cannot be expected to consistently choose sustainability if the systems around them prioritize speed and disposability. By making circular options more accessible, trustworthy, and engaging, we aim to shift consumption patterns at scale. CircuCity is not claiming to solve overconsumption overnight. But we believe that by extending product lifespans, reducing unnecessary waste, and empowering conscious consumers, we can contribute to a more regenerative economic model. In the long run, small individual decisions — when supported by the right platform — can accumulate into meaningful systemic impact. That is the space we operate in: practical sustainability, built into everyday commerce.
