Creating new categories with AI
We see the transformative potential of AI across all industries. Below is a selection of fields where we have already started ideation, or which we are specifically bullish on.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity
In the US, the cybersecuirty market is forecasted to soar to $22.8 billion by 2025, propelled at a CAGR of 10.5%. Europe isn't far behind either, with an anticipated size of $16.2 billion at a CAGR of 9.1%. And these growth numbers don't yet account for the increasing attack vectors and tools hackers now have with the emergence of large language models. Through our AI solutions company Momentum, we have worked with many enterprises and have seen an array of different infrastructure vulnerabilities. Given the emergence of new attack vectors, there are clear gaps in the market for solutions that protect against such threats.
Robotics
Robotics
Robotics
Manufacturing is ripe for robotic disruption due to operational excellence and more standardizable tasks, and with current developments, within the next 10-20 years, robots will handle 90% of all manufacturing and assembly processes. Meanwhile, incumbent hardware providers like Kuka can't build a compelling software layer; it’s not an Apple iPhone situation but rather Android—ripe for customization. We believe that to tackle this market, a "Translation Layer" is essential to bridge the physical world's knowledge, manufacturing know-how, and robotic hardware execution.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure
Infrastructure
The evolution of technology infrastructure, from the era of client-server and mobile-cloud to the realms of big data and AI, exemplifies the constant shift in technological platforms. Currently, LLMs herald a new paradigm shift in infrastructure. At Merantix, we are dedicated to empowering founders who are at the helm of these transformative changes, offering the essential tools, databases, and infrastructure support. Our collaboration with partners extends beyond ensuring product-market fit; we also focus on the crucial aspect of product-go-to-market fit, recognizing that the initial target vertical is key for offering a robust infrastructure product that is properly integrated in the customer's workflow.
Healthcare
Healthcare
Healthcare
Healthcare is at an AI-driven transformational juncture. We are committed to advancing our portfolio in this sector even further, focusing on AI applications from predictive diagnostics to personalized medicine. We're also curious about using AI for interpreting brain activity, which promises breakthroughs in neurology, and in streamlining drug discovery by analyzing extensive datasets. Additionally, AI's potential to refine patient care and provider efficiency through more accurate diagnostics and tailored treatment plans underscores our dedication to revolutionizing healthcare.
