About Extropic
Founded in 2022 by former Google Quantum Computing researchers, this company is pioneering a novel computing paradigm called thermodynamic computing that leverages thermal noise in CMOS devices to enable new forms of computation. The company develops Thermodynamic Sampling Units (TSUs), specialized chips designed for probabilistic computation, and operates across four core technical groups focused on algorithms, systems, physics, and integrated circuit design. With approximately 30 employees, the company represents a significant pivot from its founders' previous work in quantum computing and thermal noise suppression, now channeling that expertise toward harnessing thermal noise as a computational resource. As a technology company working in advanced computing, it operates under U.S. export control regulations including the Export Administration Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.

AI agents for hospitality. Conduit helps hotels, vacation rentals, and resorts answer guest messages and calls, resolve requests, and coordinate operations across their teams.
Photon is a frontier open-source lab focused on human–AI interaction, and we are building two core products: Spectrum and Photon SDK. Spectrum is the connection layer that brings AI agents into messaging apps, social platforms, and hardware. You can interact with an agent as easily as sending a text or calling a phone number. Photon SDK is the interaction layer - a developer toolkit for building agents that natively support messaging apps with rich, high-quality interaction capabilities.
HUD is building infrastructure to create RL training data and evals for frontier AI agents, as well as a marketplace to sell these to frontier labs through the HUD marketplace. Our platform is used by frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. We’ve raised $16M from top VCs and were YC W25.
