News Stories

1) Three Google DeepMind researchers depart to form startup (The Information)

The Information states “bureaucratic delays” are among the reasons, and $8.5 million have been raised so far, with discussions including Andreessen Horowitz.

2) Rebellions lands $124M to develop its new AI Rebel chip with Samsung (TechCrunch)

The computer chip is specialized for recognition, classification, language processing, and recommendation models. It is a South Korean company.

StratupAI Generated Idea

Smart Construction Project Management

“Construction project management can be complex and challenging, often leading to delays, cost overruns, and miscommunication. A compelling and viable startup idea could be to develop a hardware and software platform that combines IoT devices, data science algorithms, and SaaS capabilities to streamline and improve construction project management.

“The hardware component of the platform would consist of sensors and devices placed on construction sites to collect real-time data on progress, materials, and equipment usage.

“This data would then be analyzed using data science algorithms on the SaaS platform to provide construction companies with actionable insights, predictive analytics, and automated reporting. By utilizing this integrated solution, construction companies can enhance productivity, reduce risks, and make informed decisions to successfully complete projects.”

“Potential competitors in the construction project management space include established players like Procore, Autodesk, and Trimble, who offer software solutions for construction management. However, the startup idea stands out by combining IoT devices, data science algorithms, and SaaS capabilities into a comprehensive platform.

“This integrated solution sets it apart from traditional software providers that focus solely on digital project management. By incorporating real-time data collection, advanced analytics, and predictive capabilities, the startup can offer construction companies more actionable insights and automated reporting, leading to improved productivity and reduced risks. With the projected growth of the construction management software market, there is ample opportunity for the startup to carve out a niche and capture market share.”

50 AI companies advancing national interest from a16z

Not sponsored

Here are five companies from the list that I found interesting:

1) Air Space Intelligence - using data from “US national airspace systems”, it provides better route recommendations, which “shaved an average of 5.3 minutes off the airline’s flights and saved millions of pounds of fuel.”

2) AMP Robotics - connects to one of the news stories on Rebellions computer chip specialized for recognition. The company helps make recycling more accurate and efficient. Their system “recognizes more than 75 billion objects and can be programmed to prioritize valuable materials like aluminum cans, cardboard, and PET water bottles.”

3) Data Bricks - “The company is used by more than 10,000 organizations to build analytics and machine learning tools, including Bloomberg, Comcast, Adobe, Shell, and the USPS.”

4) Synthesis - “Based on research gleaned from SpaceX and DARPA, he and cofounder Chrisman Frank built AI-powered software that teaches kids math and science concepts through online strategy games.”

5) Farm-ng - “all-electric micro-tractor that can be modified for an array of cropping and harvesting jobs, including mowing, seeding, compost spreading, cultivation, plant breeding, and more.”

On being focused

After almost completing the book Stolen Focus, I recently read a closely connected idea.

In Startup Archive it was said Bill Gates had removed the radio from his car because he didn’t want it to distract him from Microsoft.

That’s all for today, thanks for reading. See you on Tuesday.
