Vellex Showcases Analog Intelligence at Tough Tech Week Demo Day in Boston

BOSTON, MA, 1 NOV 2025: Vellex Computing participated in 2025 Tough Tech Week Demo Day from Oct 29-Nov 1, 2025, in Boston, MA - presenting its Analog Intelligence Platform to an audience of deep-tech investors, founders, and technology leaders. The event, hosted by The Engine and co-organized with Activate, Greentown Labs, MassRobotics, and MassChallenge, brought together nearly a hundred startups for a fast-paced afternoon of ideas, pitches, and hardware breakthroughs.

A High-Energy Showcase on the East Coast: CEO and co-founder Dr. Palak Jain represented Vellex at the Demo Day, offering attendees a closer look at how Vellex’s analog-first computing architecture addresses some of the toughest constraints in modern AI. Her pitch highlighted three key advantages that consistently drew people to the Vellex table:

1. Speed - Analog compute paths that bypass digital latency bottlenecks.
2. Efficiency - Dramatically lower energy consumption and reduced TCO.
3. Low-Bandwidth AI - High-performance low-bandwidth inference for real-world, energy-constrained environments.

Throughout the day, the team fielded a mix of investor interest, technical curiosity, and a lot of “Hold on… you’re doing this in analog!” reactions - a recurring theme at Vellex showcases lately.

The Team Behind the Demo: In her post-event reflections, Palak emphasized the importance of her support circle. Her lady gang - Jill Fuss, Eva Greene, Kristyn Fusco, and Lauren Morimoto, handled everything from logistics to live-day coordination, making the showcase run smoothly and keeping the energy high. Their collaborative effort added to the friendly but fast-moving atmosphere that Tough Tech Week is known for.

Why This Event Matters

Tough Tech Week has become one of Boston’s most influential gatherings for science and engineering driven startups. Demo Day, in particular, serves as a bridge between breakthrough R&D and commercial opportunity. Vellex’s participation reinforces the rising relevance of analog computing as AI systems grow more power- and bandwidth-intensive. The event helped spark:

• New conversations with investors focused on edge, embedded, and hardware-native AI
• Potential collaborations within The Engine and Activate ecosystems
• Further validation for the role of analog intelligence in real-world deployments

What’s Next

After Demo Day, Vellex continues to expand discussions with interested investors and technical partners, while preparing additional showcases for the months ahead. With growing momentum in battery-powered and embedded AI applications, the company remains focused on bringing analog intelligence into places where conventional digital-only compute falls short.

Tough Tech Week offered the perfect environment - lively, curious, and deeply technical - and Vellex was glad to be part of this year’s lineup.
