## Summary

Newcomer and Felicis publish Emergent, a list of 29 seed-stage or earlier startups nominated by current and former founder speakers at Cerebral Valley AI Summits. Each company has raised no more than a seed round, and the list includes blurbs from nominating founders such as Guillermo Rauch of Vercel and Alex Ratner of Snorkel AI. The biggest group builds tools to run and control agents, and the list also includes hardware companies.
