Mixpeek is multimodal AI infrastructure — we turn unstructured content (video, images, audio, documents) into searchable, programmable assets through a unified API. Think of us as the data infrastructure layer that sits between your raw media and your AI applications. If you've ever tried to build a pipeline that extracts features from video, makes them retrievable, and serves them at scale — you know this is a 12-18 month infrastructure project. We compress that to an afternoon.
We're currently building MVS (Mixpeek Vector Store) — a distributed vector database built on Ray + S3, designed to handle 100B+ vectors at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions. Architecture details: shard-level WAL, LIRE-based adaptive search, replica sets, and agent-native query primitives. If you've ever wanted to rethink how vector search works from the storage layer up, this is that project.
Some things we're shipping right now:
- IP safety for media & sports — our copyright detection platform (https://copyright.mixpeek.com) helps brands and leagues detect unauthorized use of visual IP at scale. We're working with partners in the media/sports ecosystem including Backblaze for storage-native integration.
- Healthcare pipelines — multimodal extraction for clinical trial recruitment and SNF/MDS coding workflows, working with enterprise partners in the space.
- Ad verification — we contribute to the IAB Tech Lab ARTF working group and power contextual intelligence for ad safety.
Our core primitives: feature extractors, retrievers, taxonomies, clusters. Decompose with extractors, recompose with retrievers. Docs: https://docs.mixpeek.com
Stack: Python, Ray, S3, FastAPI, React/TypeScript. We also maintain amux [https://github.com/mixpeek/amux], an open-source tmux multiplexer for running parallel Claude Code agent sessions — if you're into agentic dev workflows, check it out.
I'm Ethan (founder/CEO, previously led search at MongoDB). Small team, high ownership, real problems. We're preparing for NAB Show next week and scaling enterprise pipeline work across healthcare, adtech, and media.

Hi, Alex and Jeremy here from UMH.
8 years ago, Jeremy was absolutely frustrated with the status quo of data infrastructure in manufacturing. Companies paid millions per year for "shitty 90s software" and are still doing that today, when there is much better software out there for open-source. So we decided that we can do this better, first founded a System Integrator, realized most of the tasks in setting up and maintaining a data infrastructure can be standardized, and decided to found the currently VC-backed UMH, which is built on open source software and is open source itself.
What we're actually building: We build and scale a real-time data platform that runs hundreds of Benthos pipelines inside a single Docker container (UMH Core), processing millions of industrial messages that control actual production processes.
Plus a local-first user interface (Management Console) where both non-technical factory workers and power-users/developers can work together. And yes, we care about UI in enterprise/industrial software.
At Shepherd, we're pursuing the most ambitious technical vision in commercial insurance: fully autonomous underwriting. Shepherd is an AI-native commercial insurance platform transforming how high-hazard industries get covered.
The infrastructure behind the AI boom (data centers, semiconductor fabs, renewable energy assets) has to be built and insured, but traditional carriers weren't built for this speed. We built Shepherd to solve that.
We just announced our $42M Series B last week! That brings our total funding to over $60M — led by Intact Private Capital, the investment arm of one of the largest insurers in the world. Intact is not only our lead investor but also a carrier partner, a testament to the confidence the incumbent industry has in what we're building.
(Hear from our CEO here: https://www.shepherdinsurance.com/blog/behind-our-42m-series...)

This year, we’re doubling our engineering team from 20 to 40. We’re looking for product-minded engineers to join us as we continue to scale! We’re looking for someone who thrives on ownership, drives results, and cares deeply about both technical excellence and customer impact.
We’re hiring various mid-level, senior-level and staff-level engineers. See some of our openings below:
