Semiconductor manufacturing has been stuck in 2D for decades. Atum Works, founded by Caltech and NASA engineers, is building a 3D nano-printer that fabricates multi-material structures at 100nm resolution for roughly one-tenth the cost of traditional lithography. NVIDIA has already signed a letter of intent.
Spreadsheets have not changed fundamentally since VisiCalc. BitBoard is building an AI-native version where you talk to an agent that builds, updates, and analyzes your data while you keep full control over every cell. Think of it as the spreadsheet rebuilt for people who would rather describe what they want than write formulas.
EMTs spend a staggering amount of time on paperwork after every call. CareSwift, built by a working NYC EMT and his technical co-founder, uses AI to guide crews through documentation in under three minutes while catching compliance errors in real time. The result: 80% less time writing reports, fewer insurance denials, and medics who can get back to saving lives.
