Daedalus

About

In 2019, Jonas Schneider, formerly OpenAI's first engineering hire and technical lead for their robotics division, experienced a manufacturing pain point firsthand while building a robotic hand that required precision parts. Waiting months for critical components, he recognized a fundamental problem: the precision manufacturing industry was highly fragmented, relying on thousands of small, low-tech machine shops using pen-and-paper processes to supply the world's most advanced companies. This realization sparked the founding of Daedalus in Karlsruhe, Germany, with a mission to build the world's most advanced factories for precision parts using AI and software-driven automation.

Today, Daedalus operates a 50,000-square-foot factory in Germany that represents a fundamental reimagining of precision manufacturing. Instead of relying on individual craftsmen, Daedalus deploys a proprietary Manufacturing AI Platform that orchestrates and automates the entire production process from quoting to delivery. The system captures manufacturing decision data from each part produced, using pattern matching and machine learning to continuously improve how similar parts are created in the future. Serving industries ranging from semiconductors and aerospace to medical devices and defense, Daedalus transforms bespoke precision part production from a months-long artisanal process into a reliable, scalable operation. With over $40 million in funding from NGP Capital, Khosla Ventures, Addition, and Y Combinator, the company is scaling its blueprint factory to meet growing demand across Europe and beyond.

LeoLabs

In 2016, the founders of LeoLabs recognized a critical gap in space operations: as low Earth orbit became increasingly congested with satellites and debris, the tools for monitoring and managing this environment were dangerously inadequate. Traditional space surveillance systems lacked the persistence, precision, and transparency needed to protect billions of dollars in assets and ensure safe operations. So they built LeoLabs - a commercial company dedicated to mapping the activity in low Earth orbit with unprecedented clarity and persistence. LeoLabs has evolved from that founding insight into the world's leading mission partner for persistent Orbital Intelligence. Their proliferated network of ground-based phased array radars tracks more than 25,000 objects, delivering millions of measurements daily to military space commands, civil government agencies, and commercial operators worldwide. With radar sites spanning the globe and an AI-powered analytics platform, LeoLabs provides the living map of space that safeguards our way of life on Earth - enabling collision avoidance, threat characterization, and space traffic management in an increasingly complex orbital environment.
