Online Demo Day 2026 – Constructor Start
The Startup Showcase

This cohort proves that the next wave of global startups isn't just "AI-enabled"—it's AI-native. We are tracking a total reconstruction of industry foundations across four key pillars.

Highlights

  • AI-as-a-Service: Moving beyond SaaS to outcome-based models where AI delivers the final work, not just the tools.
  • Agent-Ready Infrastructure: Building the essential protocols, APIs, and sensing layers for autonomous machine-to-machine ecosystems.
  • Physical Frontiers: Tackling the critical bottlenecks in compute, energy, and hardware that constrain the next generation of AI.
  • Vertical Systems: Reimagining complex workflows in health and industry through specialized, AI-native operating systems.
