Recapping SPC Summer 2025 Demo Faire

On June 5th, 2025, 14 SPC companies gave us a glimpse at the latest iterations of their incredible products in front of a packed audience of top investors and engineers.

At SPC, we only showcase live demos at Demo Faire, there are no slideshows allowed. Demos ranged from AI search optimization & on-demand customer research data, to camera roll deep dives & personalized rabbit holes. From experiential to deeply technical, these founders are building at the cutting edge of what's possible.

Some demos were off-the-record, so if you'd like to get in touch with these teams, reach out to the founders. Make sure you join us live for our next Demo Faire!

Luma AI

Luma AI's COO Caroline Ingeborn showed us how to reimagine any video with their new “Modify Video” capabilities. If you can imagine a scene, you should be able to create it, with director-grade control. And they’re hiring!

Case X

If you ask Founder Fellow and former detective Daniel Tatenko, there’s a big difference between a robbery and a theft. But if you're reporting a crime, you might not know that. He's working with co-founder Sergey Zhuravlev on Case X, which helps police departments ask the right diagnostic questions, solve crimes faster & keep communities safer.

Profound

AI responses can feel like a black box. Profound CEO & Founder Fellow James Cadwallader showed us how Profound is helping brands understand and control how they show up in AI search. By tracking visibility and brand mentions across AI platforms, Profound provides the tools for companies to enhance their digital presence.

Dig

Never hit the end of an internet rabbit hole again. Founder Fellow Zain Shah demoed Dig–the platform with limitless knowledge, curated personally for you. If you have infinite questions, Dig has infinite answers, all you have to do is swipe.

VMax

A lack of reinforcement learning environments is the current bottleneck to building super intelligent agents. Founder Fellows Matthew Sargent & Augustine Mavor-Parker gave us a peek at VMax–their platform for building new environments for agents to explore in, plan through and master.

Mesa

Ship more code, anytime, anywhere, without lifting a finger. Founder Fellowship team Mesa (Oliver Gilan & Ben Warren) enables teams to ship faster by automating manual work and removing bottlenecks from the dev cycle, starting with code review.

Inflight

Getting feedback shouldn’t take days. Or stretch across multiple platforms. Inflight changes the way product teams give & receive feedback. Kyle Barber & Michael Riddering gave out a few pointers in real time, using Inflight.

Common Knowledge

At Common Knowledge, your first stop for thoughts should feel less like work and more like magic. Founder Fellow Eddie Jiao showed us a new way to cultivate an interactive, application-style experience for anything, from brunch plans to housing ads.

Smithery

The future of the internet will be dominated by agent tool calls, not clicks. But how do all of those agents communicate? Founder Fellow Henry Mao & teammate Arjun Kumar showed us how Smithery can orchestrate connective tissue across AI-native services for AI agents.

Persona AI

Well-executed, qualitative research should be at your fingertips–product teams should have access to data within hours, not days. Persona AI founder Sravanthi Kadali showed us how Persona aggregates real customer insights and opinions at the push of a button.

Partly

Hiring shouldn’t be hard, and your only connective resource shouldn’t be LinkedIn. Sanjay Saraf demoed Partly, the tool for hiring the best people. Their AI-driven platform writes JDs, searches your extended network, and proactively makes introductions to get the right role filled. ​

Wayback Labs

When’s the last time you went through your entire camera roll? Have you ever actually looked at that photo of fireworks from 2013? Founder Fellow Jonathan Wegener demoed Wayback Labs–showing us what’s possible with a decades-deep photo archive.

Levit

What would it take to get physical observability to visual observability’s level? You’d need some hardware help. Founder Fellowship team Levit (Ram Jayaraman & Ram Periathiruvadi) gave us an on-demand, live video feed from their onsite IRL-agent.

Common Sense AI

Government technology is outdated, especially at the local level. Municipal governments are congested by manual tasks & staffing issues. Adam Judelson demoed Common Sense—the AI agents that perform tedious yet critical tasks for everything from permitting and zoning lookups to snowplow notifications.
