As we wrap up the year at XSLA Ventures, I want to take a moment to reflect on how much this community has grown. I’ve been fortunate to meet and re-connect with so many incredible people and find inspiration in their work.

Looking ahead, I’m committed to accelerating our content, and broadening our reach. As always, your support and feedback are invaluable in helping me make this community even more useful to you — just respond to this post!

Happy holidays and happy New Year! I’ll see you in 2025.

Boron Energy is building combined inverters and DC/DCs for electric mopeds and motorcycles. We're bringing automotive-like reliability and efficiency to two-wheelers with the goal of driving down cost over time and replacing combustion equivalents worldwide.

We have working prototypes and are testing on a customer bike now. Up next is HW iteration to unlock full as-designed performance.

Praxis AI builds manufacturing specific agents capable of reasoning and processing complex situations. Our engineering copilot predicts and prevents machine failures in real-time by solving problems the same way an engineer would.

Founders Aditya Tewari and Ransika Liyanage met in high school and have dreamed of building a startup ever since. Aditya went into the data science and consulting space, resulting in him leading manufacturing projects at Palantir. Ransika has spent almost a decade in the manufacturing industry, working as a manufacturing engineer at companies like GM, Tesla, and Rockwell Automation. Their combined passion and experience for manufacturing and AI has culminated in Praxis.
