Congratulations to our alumnae Anna-Julia Storch (Spring ’18) and Leonie Freisinger (Fall ’21) who are coming out of stealth and raising $5M to build Dryft 🚀

Leonie and Anna-Julia both share a deep passion for engineering and speed — from the mountains to the racetrack. After their time at Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM), they met again at Stanford University, where their shared vision for reshaping industrial technology took form.

With Dryft, they are combining AI agents and mathematical optimization to automate complex decisions in manufacturing — helping companies operate faster, smarter, and more efficiently.

Backed by General Catalyst, Neo, Sheryl Sandberg’s Fund and several leading industry angels, the team is now based in San Francisco, driving innovation in the physical world.

We’re proud to see CDTM alumni shaping the next generation of industrial intelligence and turning passion into impact. 💙
