Rhizome Labs
Continual learning AI for defense and security.
Rhizome Labs builds continual learning AI for defense and security — lightweight neural networks that update on-device, with as little as 8 MB of RAM, instead of requiring cloud retraining, enabling smaller models to run independently on edge hardware in disconnected environments. Founded in Paris by CEO Lancelot Convert and CTO Clément Poiret (PhD in neuroscience/deep learning, CEA/Inserm). The company is part of Station F's Future 40 2025 cohort and Hexa's HX25 Sprint track, and was named to Hello Tomorrow's Top 100 Deep Tech Startups to watch in 2026, winning the summit's AI Horizon award. Raised €1M+ in pre-seed funding.
