About

Deepnight is a San Francisco-based defense technology company — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with $6 million in total funding including a $5.5 million seed in February 2025 from Initialized Capital plus $500,000 from Y Combinator — providing the US military and defense contractors with AI-powered night vision software that combines low-light cameras with novel AI image processing algorithms to achieve superior performance versus L3Harris night vision systems at a fraction of the cost using standard smartphone camera hardware. Founded in 2023 by ex-Google engineers Lucas Young and Thomas Li, Deepnight secured $4.6 million in government contracts in its first year of operations, including a US Army contract within one month of joining YC and subsequent contracts with the US Air Force, Sionyx, and SRI International.

About

Ankr is a Web3 infrastructure platform offering remote procedure call node access to more than 30 blockchain networks through a globally distributed network of nodes run by independent operators. Unlike centralized providers that operate their own data centers exclusively, Ankr's decentralized architecture routes requests across geographically distributed nodes, improving latency for users in regions underserved by US- or EU-centric infrastructure. Its public free-tier RPC endpoints — available for Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and dozens of others — have made Ankr one of the most widely used infrastructure providers in the multi-chain developer ecosystem.
