Meanwhile, Hippocratic AI secured major capital to expand its “safety-first” health agents, and Legora raised a substantial round for its AI platform for legal professionals. The future of logistics also accelerated with Glīd, the Startup Battlefield winner pioneering autonomous road-to-rail vehicles.

🌱 The Next Big Thing: Our Startup Pick!
🎯 This Week's Emerging Star: Glīd 1
Glīd is building autonomous, dual-mode “Glīders” that can seamlessly switch between road and rail, turning fragmented freight corridors into a single, intelligent logistics network. Their hardware and AI-powered software stack is designed to eliminate port and yard bottlenecks, cut emissions, and unlock underused rail infrastructure for commerce, communities, and defense.
By synchronizing road and rail into one continuous flow, Glīd takes on some of the most expensive and polluting pain points in freight movement — especially the first mile from ship to train. Fresh off being crowned the winner of Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt SF last week, the company is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about new players in climate-conscious logistics and autonomous transport.
