Moonshot
agents for the rest of us
We want to bring AI agents to a billion people. To do this, we believe it needs to be 1. proactive and 2. personal. A billion people already carry the right device, but none of them have the right connector. Moonshot is personal intelligence that lives on your iPhone and listens to you 24/7. It continuously builds up a greater understanding of you through constantly listening and building context. It just pays deep attention, the way a good friend does. Through this, Moonshot monitors your conscious and subconscious life, figuring out what you need before you know, reminding you about open loops, identifying life and emotional trends before you recognize it, and covering a lot more of what we gloss over in daily life. For fifty years, software has waited to be asked. We think tools are just good enough to flip this, and the next great software will provide value before asking for something first. We're doing it through Moonshot. Our thesis is simple: you're only living half your life. The half that you actively remember. The other half just evaporates into your subconscious: what you said, felt, promised, and forgot. It's the more interesting half, and until now nothing could catch it, making it not actionable. Moonshot catches your subconscious half and understands you well enough to take actions on your behalf. Take life personally. The iOS app is designed around ambient listening and clear user control. Short microphone chunks are sent securely to Moonshot's private transcription service and deleted when transcription finishes. Text and selected context can be sent through Moonshot's server to a model when the app needs to understand a moment. Nothing leaves without your yes. The privacy policy explains every data path, stored copy, permission, and deletion control in detail. Moonshot is in early access. Join the waitlist to hear when access opens, read more about the team and product on the About page, or use the Contact page for a direct written response from the Moonshot team. Let's make it a Moonshot.
Moreta
Payments made easy for international travelers.
At Moreta, we simplify payments for international travelers, letting you pay for anything using just your phone. Done is the hassle of searching for the best cash exchange rates or ATMs on your next trip. With Moreta, paying local merchants is easy. We came up with Moreta while on our own backpacking adventures. Watching locals pay with a simple scan while we fumbled with cards and cash. So, we created a solution. By syncing with local payment networks, Moreta lets you pay like a local securely and digitally, without needing a bank account in every country. We’re starting in Asia, where QR code digital wallets are taking over and are now the top choice at checkout. As these wallets start to join forces for cross-border payments, Moreta is the first to bridge the gap for international travelers from card-centric markets to tap into these local networks. Moreta will target 200 million travelers arriving in the region each year, who together have $410 billion in everyday expenditure.
Morf Health
Workflow automation for healthcare providers
Morf is an integration platform that allows healthcare providers to sync patient data and automate workflows across their tools. For example, when a patient submits an intake form, Morf creates a patient record in an EHR and sends insurance information for an eligibility check. You can think about it like Segment + Zapier for healthcare providers. Morf helps their customers eliminate tedious administrative tasks and empowers them to focus on patient care as they grow.
Morph
Fast Models Optimized for Coding Agents
Specialized inference, built for agent workloads Fast Open-Source models: Kimi k3, Deepseek v4 flash, qwen 397b, at 200+ tps Specialized models for applying edits, code search, compaction, and model routing
Morphik
AI workers for Skilled Nursing and Senior Living Operations
Morphik helps Skilled Nursing and Senior Living organizations increase their NOI by automating repetitive manual tasks like AP, billing and collections, nurse admin work.
MorphoAI
Software tool for designing robots and machines
We're building an AI powered platform for engineers that are building new robots and machines. We allow users to invent and modify machine designs in a matter of minutes, not years. Ayna and Andy, the co-founders, met during their time at Harvard and started this in 2024 as their programs were wrapping up. We're commercializing 10+ years research done by our team at Harvard and MIT on this space. Our team wrote the very first papers on applying GenAI and optimization algorithms to compose robots from parts and applying computational design to fine tune machine designs. We're bringing in our deep knowledge of modifying equipment and integrating it into factories keenly understanding what makes hardware hard. We take in parts under consideration, constraints and tasks at hand and our algorithm formulates and fine tunes from 100s of possible design options. All in a few clicks, so engineers can push hardware to market faster and companies can benefit from the inventions being done by their R&D teams. We already have two paying customers in the OEM and system integrator spaces. We are venture backed and supported by a GBP 2.5MM grant by ARIA, the UK Government's invention agency.
Mosaic
Defining the frontier of multiplayer AI.
Mosaic gives teams and their coding agents shared memory across every session, so everyone can understand what happened, why decisions were made, and pick up where someone else left off. We started as a real-time coding environment where multiple people and their agents can work together live. It went viral, defined the multiplayer AI category, and inspired frontier labs like Anthropic. Together, we’re building the infrastructure for people and agents to share context and work together.
Moss
Real-time semantic search for Conversational AI
Moss is building the real-time semantic search runtime for conversational and multimodal AI. Our system enables voice agents, copilots, and chat interfaces to retrieve, reason, and respond in sub-10 ms, delivering the responsiveness that makes AI interactions feel truly natural. If you’ve ever built a conversational or voice AI product, you’ve felt the lag. That moment when an agent pauses and the illusion of intelligence breaks. The bottleneck is almost always retrieval. Each query hops across networks and databases, adding delay and cost. Moss eliminates that gap by keeping retrieval close to where the agent runs. Moss runs natively across browsers, mobile devices, and servers with an optimized vector index built in Rust and WebAssembly. It enables teams to build AI products that feel instant, contextual, and adaptive. The experiences that sustain engagement and unlock new kinds of interaction. For our customers, this translates into tangible business value: stronger user retention, higher conversion, and entirely new product categories made possible by real-time understanding. Moss is already powering production pilots across voice AI and developer platforms, achieving sub-10 ms retrieval and 70–90% token savings compared to traditional pipelines.
