Forgepoint

Forgepoint builds AI coworkers for the manufacturing back office. Our mission is to give American manufacturers an edge by putting the best technology in the world in their hands. Our first product, Frank, is an AI inside sales rep that handles the RFQ-to-quote process end to end. He's already deployed with hundreds of reps, estimators, and engineers at shops across the country, cutting their time-to-quote by up to 90%.

Evos

Evos is the Agentic Operations Platform for the businesses that make, move and power the global economy: logistics, freight, manufacturing and the industries around them. We build autonomous AI operators that put the expertise of a company’s best people to work on every job, every day. Most industrial software records the work. Evos operators do it. Each one learns a specific function from the people who know it best, including the decisions they make and the reasoning behind them, then works inside the systems the business already runs. One hour with your experts, a working operator the next day, measurable results within a month. We call it the Evos Trifecta. Operators in production today handle LTL carrier invoice audit, broker communication and load building, and at one freight brokerage have made nearly 3,500 audit decisions at 97% accuracy in two months. No two businesses run the same way. In physical industries, edge cases are the norm, and handling them takes decades of expertise, not a rulebook. Evos configures itself around each company and builds bespoke autonomous operators, so businesses built on that expertise and their relationships can run at the cutting edge of technology.
