Phase Four is a provider of electric propulsion (EP) for small satellites. The company was founded in 2015 to accelerate the advancement of its core differentiator, the Radio Frequency Thruster (RFT). The hallmark of Phase Four’s RFT is simplicity. Because the RFT omits a hollow cathode and high voltage electronics, three key improvements are realized: 1) a 10x materials cost savings versus legacy EP systems, 2) a significant decrease in the size of power electronics, and 3) propellant agnosticism. In a first for EP, the Phase Four RF thruster accomplishes this while achieving performance in the same thrust, specific impulse (Isp), and efficiency class as legacy plasma propulsion solutions.

Emerge is a consumer technology company building a multi-sensory communication platform to bridge distance and time—through touch, sight, sound, and brain activity, powered by emotion AI, to allow users to digitize and transmit their emotions. With over 2 billion people worldwide feeling disconnected from others—one of the greatest life hazards of our generation—it's time for a new communication platform that focuses on what really matters: our emotional connection with others. The first step is to introduce touch to virtual interactions—via TVs, AR, and VR displays. Emerge Wave-series is the anchor product line for the emotion AI. The patented consumer device emits precise ultrasonic forcefields that can be physically felt with bare hands—imagine a “virtual high five” or holding hands across the globe, with no gloves or controllers needed. We are proud of our impact-focused and diverse team—70% of us are immigrants and first-generation Americans. We are former entrepreneurs and industry veterans who have developed and launched products in the fields of consumer electronics, augmented reality, brain-computer interfaces, gaming, and space exploration. Founded in 2015 and based in Los Angeles, CA, Emerge is backed by venture capital firms including M13 and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital, and other notable investors such as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and co-founders of Blizzard Entertainment, Twitch, and Riot Games.

At Drop, we are building what we believe will be the future of discovery in immersive computing. Based in San Francisco, California, we are an HTC portfolio company that has built an immersive internet searching and browsing experience for virtual and augmented realities. In other words, it's the "Google Chrome for VR/AR."
