SuperSeed is turning five today. It’s a great feeling. My partner @dan covers our story in more detail on his LinkedIn blog.

What we do all boils down to this one thing: We are entrepreneurs, and we love helping other founders build their companies and take on the world.

I want to mark the day by celebrating three startups whose founders are doing cool things with AI.

AI Build

3D printing promises to change how we make things. From cars, to airplanes to buildings. But to date, it has been hard to scale the technology beyond small objects like hearing aids and dental implants.

Enter AI Build.

Ai Build’s platform uses AI to convert design models into production models that can be printed in “large format”. Reliably. And at speed. This work used to take weeks of a specialist’s time. And using AI, it can now be done in minutes.

It has taken years of painstaking R&D for founders Daghan Cam and Michael Dasyllas to perfect the technology. As a result, they are already supporting Boeing and several of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers. Congratulations!

Garvis

Manufacturing companies make amazing things. But how many widgets should they make?

Garvis helps demand planners predict future demand. This means they don’t make too little (or too much), reducing both wastage and wasted opportunity.

Garvis founder Piet Buyck is a veteran of the demand forecasting space. He and his founding team: Anupam Aishwarya, Ranjith Narayanan and Geert Jan Van den Bogaerde have created a groundbreaking platform.

They are already supporting large corporates like J&J, Bosch, GSK & Coca-Cola, and there is much more to come. Congratulations!

ThingTrax

Manufacturing often involves manual assembly. And when factory workers assemble things, “stuff” can occasionally be forgotten. A screw left out. A widget misplaced. And who can blame them? It can be repetitive and tiresome.

Enter ThingTrax’s Lineview solution. It’s based on computer vision AI that analyses the manual assembly process. And gently reminds the assembly worker if something has been left out. Magic.

Founders Aman Gupta and Imran Shafqat, together with Paul Reader, are building an amazing company. They already serve a host of mid-market customers, but also global enterprises like Tata. And they are just getting started

Our celebration

At SuperSeed, we work to serve amazing entrepreneurs changing the way business is done. So today, on our fifth birthday, let us celebrate all the founders that work tirelessly to build companies and move us forward.

Onward!
