SF YC W24 AI night vision software outperforming L3Harris using $50 smartphone cameras; $6M total ($5.5M Initialized seed Feb 2025) with $4.6M govt contracts (Army/Air Force) in first year competing for military low-light imaging.
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.
Mountain View construction layout robot (FieldPrinter 2) at 10K-15K sq ft/day, 10x manual speed with 1/16" accuracy; $69.5M total printing 100M+ sq ft for DPR/Turner/Skanska competing with Trimble for BIM-to-field layout automation.
Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
