🪸 Robotics for Ocean Restoration
Plus: 18 Founders on the HackSummit stage incl Brimstone, Crux, Dioxcycle, EVOLOH, Hertha Metals, Lumina, Revel, Rainmaker, SirenOpt, Ulysses
There’s no single path to Abundance. It’s being built right now.
From the oceans to our skies, and lab bench to commercialization, Founders are turning bold ideas into real solutions for a cleaner, decarbonized future.
At HackSummit, 18 Founders are already confirmed to join us for fireside chats to share their journey so far, as well as their relentless vision to combine efficiency with abundance.
On the program includes:
🛥️ Zero-emission marine vessels - Navier
🧪 Recycling emissions into ethylene - Dioxycle
🌊 Autonomous systems to steward the ocean - Ulysses
⛏️ Green steel cheaper than conventional - Hertha Metals
💧 High-throughput manufacturing of electrolyzers - EVOLOH
🌦️ Cloud seeding to increase rainfall and fight drought - Rainmaker
🌱 Texturized plant proteins that replace eggs and hydrocolloids - Meala
🧱 Carbon-free Portland cement and smelter-grade alumina - Brimstone
🔬 AI-powered platform for real-time manufacturing inspection - SirenOpt
🚘 Accelerating EV adoption with public fast charging designed for density - Revel

🤖 Ocean Robotics for Restoration
The oceans cover +70% of our planet, yet up to 80% of their depths remain unexplored. A vast, mysterious frontier facing mounting threats from climate change, pollution and overfishing.
Enter ocean robotics: a new wave of autonomous and remote-operated technologies.
From coral nurseries tended by underwater drones to autonomous vehicles mapping the seafloor with unprecedented precision, check out our latest list of 20 rising stars in ocean robotics who are using robotics to study, monitor, restore and protect our marine environments.
Plus hear from Founders and experts on what excites them about using robotics for ocean restoration, as we caught up with: Bubble Robotics, Clear Robotics, F&Z Solutions, HiViz Consulting, Samudra Oceans, SeaGen, Sunfish and Ulysses.
🌊 Robotics x Ocean Restoration at HackSummit
In less than 1 month, Will O’Brien joins us at the HackSummit for a fireside chat with Kevin Webb of Superorganism, the first venture firm dedicated to biodiversity.
Will joins us to share his vision to transform ocean conservation with robotics and AI.
And explain how Ulysses was founded to protect and restore marine ecosystems while making monitoring and conservation more efficient and affordable.
The company’s first product line includes autonomous drones and modular attachments designed to make seagrass restoration faster, easier, and cheaper.
Ulysses is already working with governments in the US and Australia, as well as leading environmental groups like The Nature Conservancy, and is backed by top-tier VCs including Lowercarbon Capital, Superorganism and ReGen Ventures.
✨ Unmissable Conversations on Stage
The latest 4 speakers to join the HackSummit next month in New York (Dec 10–11), will put the spotlight on high-throughput manufacturing and industrial solutions to CO2 emissions.
As Sarah Lamaison, Co-Founder and CEO of Dioxycle sits down with Clea Kolster to explore how cutting-edge carbon utilization technologies can turn industrial emissions into profitable, sustainable chemicals at scale.
Also on stage, Jimmy Rojas, Founder and CEO of EVOLOH joins Colleen Calhoun, Operating Partner of Engine Ventures to discuss how next-generation electrolyzer manufacturing can unlock low-cost clean hydrogen at true gigawatt scale, and what it will take to build this infrastructure globally.
The HackSummit program is now live. But hurry, ticket prices increase this Friday, November 14th.
Tip: Use code FirstTimer to save 10% and lock in your pass to join us in New York this December 10-11th.
