LMI began in 1961 as a pioneering Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), established in response to then-Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara's drive to modernize defense logistics under the Kennedy administration. Today, LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider, disrupting the traditional government contracting model with commercial-grade technology that is ready day-one. At LMI, we believe in accelerating government impact at commercial speed without sacrificing rigor, security, or trust. Our teams combine mission-ready platforms and technology with deep federal expertise to help agencies move from idea to impact faster. We support defense, space, homeland security, healthcare, and intelligence missions with teams who understand the stakes and work in true partnership with our customers. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, we deliver solutions that strengthen federal operations and create lasting impact through innovation, ingenuity, and a culture that thrives on solving complex challenges.

Dayton Freight is a privately held, regional less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier founded in 1981 by Thomas L. Cronin Jr. Headquartered in the U.S. Midwest, the company has grown from a single terminal to a network of 70 service centers, employing more than 6,000 people across its operations. The company's core offering is LTL freight transportation across the Midwest, complemented by two additional service lines: DFT, its truckload division, and DFXpedited, which handles time-sensitive shipments. Its fleet comprises 2,037 tractors and 4,992 trailers. Dayton Freight operates on a union-free basis and reports a 98% on-time delivery rate alongside a 99.6% claims-free delivery rate. Dayton Freight places emphasis on operational efficiency, transportation technology, and what it describes internally as "The Dayton Difference" - a people-first corporate culture centred on reliability, customer relationships, and community engagement. The company is not publicly traded and has not disclosed external funding.

We've been helping people move since 1945, when Leonard Shoen and Anna Mary Carty started this business in a garage in Ridgefield, Washington. Today, we operate more than 25,000 locations across all 50 states and Canadian provinces, making it possible for anyone to handle their own move without the headache and expense of traditional movers. We built our network by partnering with local gas stations and independent businesses, which let us grow quickly while staying rooted in communities. What we actually do day-to-day is pretty straightforward: we rent trucks, trailers, and self-storage units to people who need them. We also sell boxes, packing supplies, tow hitches, and propane. But there's more to it than that - we're constantly maintaining our fleet, improving our locations, and figuring out how to make the whole moving process smoother for customers. We've grown from a small trailer operation into a publicly traded company with nearly 20,000 team members, but we still think of ourselves as the neighborhood resource for anyone trying to get their belongings from point A to point B.

Cartesian is an MIT spinout building indoor spatial intelligence for retail environments. We're tackling one of the biggest operational challenges in the $35 trillion retail industry: in-store inventory visibility. Our platform delivers precise indoor positioning and actionable product location insights by fusing wireless signals and mobile computer vision, creating a uniquely scalable solution that requires no new infrastructure and can be deployed in minutes rather than months. Founded in 2023 by an MIT engineering professor and alum behind award-winning, patented core technologies, we've bootstrapped from research to a live product deployed across nearly 700 stores in over a dozen countries. Originally backed by the NSF SBIR Award, we're now aggressively scaling with international fashion brands. Our team works in-person at Kendall Square in Cambridge, where we move fast, ship features every two weeks, and care deeply about solving real problems that matter to our customers.
