This Week’s Top Startups
Hyperlink
Hyperlink is a platform as a service that taps into idle CPU and GPU capacities, addressing the GPU shortage while efficiently powering AI, Blockchain, and Cloud workloads, while enabling supply partners to turn unused computing power into a source of passive income.
Hyperlink met 3 investors through ORCA after just days on the platform.
omica.ai
Omica.ai is Latin America's first biomedical data hub. They offer free clinical AI tools to local health systems in exchange for all anonymized clinical data. They then aggregate this data and monetize it via pharma partnerships, allowing them to generate revenue while democratizing AI-driven care in the region. They collected 120,000 clinical records and signed a 3-year global data distribution deal in their Pre-Seed.
Omica met 2 investors after just a few days on ORCA.
Vocadian
Vocadian’s proprietary voice biomarker and AI technology assesses fatigue, sleepiness, and circadian rhythm based on human speech. They provide a B2B SaaS solution that includes fit-for-duty screening, personalized fatigue mitigations, and managerial interventions to optimize shift scheduling and task dispatch.
Unlike existing solutions such as dash cameras or wearables, which are all reactive and only intervene after burnout has already occurred, Vocadian addresses the root cause and offers predictive fatigue risk management to prevent accidents, protect employees, and save companies millions of dollars.
Vocadian met 1 investor this week for a total of 5 meetings booked through ORCA. Their profile is being tracked by 7 investors.
