Recursion is building the operating system for AI-native drug discovery — using machine learning to decode biology at industrial scale. Backed by Roche-Genentech and Bayer, the company is advancing multiple clinical programs while building the world’s largest biological dataset. Pre-revenue in the traditional sense, but a platform-defining company that sits at the intersection of two of the most powerful forces in science: AI and pharmaceuticals.
Aduro’s proprietary Hydrochemolytic™ process converts waste plastics into valuable oils and fuels without combustion. The NGP pilot plant completed commissioning and moved to active operating campaigns in early 2026, while the Chemelot industrial site in the Netherlands was selected for the first-of-a-kind commercial facility. Cash position strengthened to CAD $39.4M after a U.S. offering. A commercial licensing MOU was signed in March 2026. Pre-revenue — but the plant is real, the process works, and the catalysts are building.
Guardforce AI deploys AI-powered security and surveillance robots across Asia-Pacific facilities, with expanding capabilities in facility management and autonomous monitoring. This is the highest-risk name on this list — ultra micro-cap with limited liquidity — but it sits at the convergence of physical AI and security automation, both of which are decade-long growth trends. Position sizing discipline is essential here.
AudioEye provides an AI-powered digital accessibility platform that helps businesses comply with ADA and WCAG regulations automatically. As global digital accessibility laws tighten across the U.S., EU, and beyond, the total addressable market expands without any additional sales effort needed. Recurring SaaS revenue model with improving unit economics, growing enterprise validation, and a regulatory tailwind that compounds every year.
