Humanmade is proud to be supporting a roster of hard tech startups across health tech, logistics, robotics, clean energy, consumer products, manufacturing, and more. We can’t wait to see how these creative entrepreneurs impact the world we live in.

 

0CRB tech captures atmospheric CO2 and converting it into breathable oxygen with every step. This innovative solution not only enhances air quality but also addresses climate change, empowering consumers to make a positive environmental impact through their everyday choices.

Aquafield Inc is developing an electrostatic desalination technology based on cutting edge scientific research. The positive impact this technology is to provide clean potable water at an energy cost that has never been seen before.

Block Automation builds smart, solar-powered sunscreen dispensers for public spaces to make sun protection accessible, sustainable, and reliable. We help prevent skin cancer and reduce plastic waste while supporting healthier, more connected communities.

At Budbreak Innovations, we're deploying scouting robots for vineyards, hyper-focused on developing AI-powered perception systems that can detect grapevine diseases and pests. Our initial focus is to serve as a digital immune system for the wine-growing community.

CargoTaged is a smart, reusable packaging system that tracks shipments in real-time, detects tampering and shock events, and reduces waste. Our solution streamlines logistics, boosts supply chain transparency, and advances sustainable shipping across industries.

Feather Robotics is engineering the most practical and adaptable hardware platform to transform how labor is performed. Our mission is to democratize labor itself—supercharging the evolution of civilization.

Inspira Health brings together clinical expertise and design thinking to tackle the most pressing healthcare challenges, developing hardware, systems and technologies that spark joy in the hands of patients, clinicians and administrators.

Orthestra develops wearables to improve recovery and performance for people with musculo-skeletal pain. Our technology uses compressive e-textiles with embedded sensors to measure surface geometry. We envision a world where people don’t suffer from treatable joint injuries.

PeraWatt Energy is developing a first-of-a-kind magnetic material that will significantly improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of clean energy technologies and electric motors, making the energy transition more affordable and reliable across energy industries.

Rhythm Technologies helps people feel happy, healthy, and well through light. We build circadian wellness products that restore natural light rhythms indoors — improving mood, energy, and sleep for the 36 million people affected by light-related disorders.

SpaceTime Robotics builds autonomous underwater drones to protect global communication cables from sabotage and disruption.

Solving stress related anxiety and headaches in a drug free way through a patented Temple Massager device that delivers cranial massage, acupressure and aromatherapy. We work with 911 dispatchers, first responders and Air Force air traffic control personnel.

At Transorbital we are developing the worlds first Reactionless Drive - a thruster that does not use propellant or fuel to produce thrust. This tech can transform the space industry because satellites can remain mobile and not be limited by fuel tank capacity.

WallRise builds wall-mounted electric sit-stand Murphy desks here in SF. The products enhance ergonomics/productivity while saving space. We're working on new models as well as configurable front facades (white/chalk boards, laser-cut art, custom prints etc).

Yggdrasil Trees builds modular direct air capture (DAC) structures for urban integration, enabling scalable CO, removal while enhancing city environments, strengthening cities' sustainability portfolios, and supporting urban carbon removal policies for greater impact.
