360 Direct Video
Hundreds of thousands of businesses provide customer support, but Deaf customers lack inclusive access such as:
-Chat: Often in English, which is a 2nd or 3rd language for many Deaf individuals. ASL is a distinct language, leading to misunderstandings and escalations.
-Live representatives via a third-party Video Relay Service: Interpreters lack company knowledge, causing miscommunication, frustration, and longer calls.
These non-inclusive solutions cost businesses significant amounts annually.
AGEYE Technologies
The current food production system is inefficient, with 46% of fruits and vegetables in the U.S. discarded annually, costing around $42 billion. Much of this waste stems from supply chain issues, as food travels long distances from concentrated production areas, leading to significant loss before it reaches consumers. The produce that does arrive is often 10 days old and nutrient-deficient. Climate change and projected population growth further stress our food systems, exacerbating the problem.
Ainthoven
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death for kids. 1 in 300 youth has an undetected life-threatening heart condition that puts them at risk. Ainthoven is bringing to market the first ever expert-level interpretation tool for pediatric and young adult screening ECGs powered by machine learning in order to eliminate preventable SCA and protect +100,000 young lives.
Allera
Over 70% of food manufacturers still use pen and paper for their FDA compliance paperwork. This leads to thousands of hours recording data on paper then manually transferring electronic storage. This is one of dozens of archaic workflows across the food manufacturing industry.
Alvee Health
Alvee tackles health inequity in underserved communities by addressing systemic disparities. Traditional healthcare workflows often overlook Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), leading to inefficiencies and perpetuating disparities. Manual practices in documentation and referrals fail to meet care needs. With a projected shortfall of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030, these gaps cause annual losses of $135 billion in medical costs and $175 billion from premature deaths.
BlueVerse Inc.
Businesses struggle to find a cost-effective technology suite. In-house development teams can cost hundreds of thousands to millions per year. Renting multiple solutions can cost thousands monthly, leading to a fragmented experience for customers who must navigate various apps and websites. This complexity and expense hinder businesses from delivering seamless and efficient digital offerings to their customers, impacting growth and customer satisfaction.
CADchat
Managing physical product development is painful.
Managers are forced to use disparate tools that lack precision, leading to
miscommunications, lack of collaboration, lost time and money.
Citiri
Because project owners struggle to establish good standards of construction hygiene and bridge the gap between construction and operations, less than 1% of projects are delivered on-time, on-budget, and on-benefit. It costs project owners billions, degrades the quality of services and diminished the customer experience.
- Lost Revenues & Unplanned CAPEX and OPEX
- Operational Anomalies
- Increased Risks & Lower Bond Ratings
Command Center Inc.
Mitigation of cyber threats and attacks against internet connected Infrastructure, Systems, Network and Applications specifically, Operational Technology (OT), IoT (Internet of Things) and IoMT (Internet of Medical Things). Our Command Center Zulora solution detects, remediates, prevents, protects, improves and enforces cyber resiliency for Hospital and Healthcare systems plus Banking, Financial, Insurance and Retail sectors.
Community Capital Technology Inc.
Community financial institutions are vital to urban, suburban and rural economies, providing ~45% of U.S. small business loans - but face asset concentration issues due to local market dynamics, along w/ regulatory scrutiny and lending limitations. To address this, they use informal networks or brokers to manage balance sheet risk and buy/sell loans, leading to mispricing and inefficiencies. There is a need for a more direct, efficient system to connect supply/demand & streamline transactions.
ConverseNow Technologies Inc.
Restaurants struggle with high labor turnover and order inaccuracies, which can range from 16-35%. These issues lead to constant staffing problems, customer dissatisfaction, and lost sales. Inadequate team member training results in inconsistent guest experiences and low average check sizes, further decreasing overall sales and customer loyalty.
Copient.ai
Since 1872, corporate training programs have been built to accommodate for the challenge that product and content experts do not have the bandwidth to deliver quality education at scale. As a result, training programs that have evolved are forced to address a lack of expert resources and are falling short of delivering ROI. Because resources are limited and learning is not reinforced, 80% of skills are lost within 1 week of training. Training delivery and practice need to be reimagined.
Countifi Inc
The airline industry wastes over $4 billion annually on untouched items that are discarded after flights. Countifi addresses this issue by tackling inefficient inventory management systems. Airlines rely on manual methods, leading to errors, and increased operational costs. Manual tracking is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and diverts staff from customer care. Countifi's solution provides accurate AI based inventory counting that streamlines operations, reduces waste and costs.
crewOS
Effectively tracking and managing jobs in the industrial environment is complex and difficult. No existing software platform offers the tools and workflows needed to be efficient. These companies are left with a patchwork of manual processes and software products that are not meeting their needs.
Croux
Modern day workers want to work differently than their traditional industries allow - they want to pick their own schedules, get paid right away, have health benefits, and see possibilities for upward mobility. But these traditional industries have not figured out how to meet their workforces where they are. So, it's no surprise labor shortages and lower productivity persist. As hospitality vets, our founders saw the problem magnified in our industry without any available solutions.
CurieDx
Telehealth fails because patients lack of remote medical tests. Patients get misdiagnosed and get antibiotics they don't need 30% of the time. If the telehealth doctor sends patients to urgent care instead, for medical tests, they lose a customer for good- LTV of $3,900.
Cycle Clarity
Monitoring fertility treatment is performed primarily by transvaginal ultrasound examinations which typically take 10 to 12 minutes per patient and are uncomfortable. Our artificial intelligence technology solution provides more accurate results of all of the eggs within the ovary in less than one minute. This is a benefit to the patients but also adds significant clinical efficiency to the clinical team. Everyone now measures as accurately as the physician lowering staff educational requirement
Ditch Technologies, Inc.
Many of the 240 million indebted Americans spend 10% of their lifetime income on avoidable interest and fee's on their debt. This is due to a lack of financial education, and a proper toolkit for the average American to adopt financial behaviors that set them on a journey to financial freedom.
Document Crunch
Lack of contract compliance is a massive problem for the $13T construction industry with 50% of projects going over budget. The contract serves as the law of the project and determines WHO bears the cost of such overruns. The typical project team is NOT made up of contract professionals, nor do they have the time to navigate the intricacies of these complex documents, resulting in mistakes, fee erosion, unnecessary risks, and costly litigation.
Doorstep.ai
Last year, US last-mile delivery failures amounted to over $4 billion. A major cause for this is that conventional GPS-mapping systems lack doorstep accuracy, which leads to incorrect and delayed drop offs and immense customer dissatisfaction. We aim to address this gap, and revolutionize last-mile deliveries for enhanced doorstep precision and efficiency. Solving this issue is critical for customer satisfaction and vital to the overall success and sustainability of the delivery sector.
Earth X Energy
Today, less than 5% of multi-family communities in the US have EV charging. The barrier is that Property Owners see negative IRRs on EV charging so they install the bare minimum (and only when required to do so). Current EV charging technology cannot solve the problems in the multi-family market. Thus, 95% of Residents cannot charge @Home overnight when it's most convenient, making it very hard to live with an EV and ultimately limiting EV adoption in multi-family communities.
EasyVote Solutions Inc
As city, county and state election officials are searching for innovative software solutions, EasyVote's election management systems are ideal fit for election jurisdictions that are tasked with managing campaign finance, poll workers, inventory, polling sites, and general administrative tasks and projects related to running successful elections in the US.
Ecolytics
As companies grow their sustainability teams, just as they do their sales and marketing, they need a tool to manage and streamline their work to maximize time and money while developing a sustainability practice that directly translates to benefits for their company's bottom line.
EcoMap
Ecosystems are everywhere around us, yet are incredibly difficult to understand, manage, and engage due to data fragmentation. Historically, institutions have relied on manual processes and static documents to collect, update, and disseminate intelligence about the state of their ecosystem. This approach demands extensive staff labor and high support costs, preventing institutions from delivering critical information cost-effectively to their stakeholders.
Empower Local, Inc. (DBA “EmpowerLocal”)
While brands spend over $100 billion annually on locally-focused digital advertising, hardly any reaches local newsrooms. This is due to a fragmented local media landscape, lack of transparent audience data, and the inability to efficiently manage local partnerships at scale. As a result, local media struggles financially, while brands miss out on engaging authentically with local audiences through trusted community channels.
Ezos
Who, What, and When for property maintenance scheduling
Fashivly, Inc
The average American woman spends over 100 hours searching for the 60 pieces of apparel and accessories she'll purchase each year. There are over 1 billion options available online and they change every season. Finding something as simple as the right pair of jeans that works for your body type, your budget, your lifestyle and your style preferences is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Flicent Inc DBA FieldPulse
Many service contractors don't have the right tools to efficiently run their business, relying on pen/paper or generic tools like Excel and iCalendar. FieldPulse is an all-in-one solution for small service contractors to streamline the customer lifecycle process. FieldPulse solves for: inefficient job scheduling & dispatching, poor team communication, missing data & customer history, inaccurate employee time logging, poor cash flow & slow receivables, & unprofessional customer image & experience
FourthParty
Each year, there are more than 60 million mediation eligible disputes but just a fraction of them reach resolution. A growing court case backlog, exacerbated by 30% nationally during the pandemic and a nearly impossible to navigate certified to mediating career pipeline disconnects people in conflict from the mediators who can solve conflicts efficiently. This leads to dispute resolution taking 2X longer than it has to and even worse, people in conflict opting out of resolution altogether.
Fullsteam Health
Data inputs by source systems in healthcare is not captured in a way that is AI/analytics ready due to inconsistencies in values/units, data that is unmapped/ungrouped, that creates challenges in ensuring that you have access to all the data you need in a clean and normalized format. Today, there is duplicative/manual effort by IT teams to gather and clean data, making the cost of actionable historical and real-time data unsustainable.
Generation Conscious, Inc.
1 in 5 U.S. citizens cuts back on food to buy hygiene. Good for you and good for the planet products are 2 - 10x more expensive than single use, toxic products. Overdosing of market leading laundry detergent and overloading the washing machine costs machine owners ~$8.5B+ / yr in routine maintenance and 2+ gigatons in energy costs. 52% of undergrads who remain underemployed within 1 year of graduating remain underemployed for a decade.
Good Agriculture
Our farmers are overwhelmed. Most are one man bands who do all of the farming AND everything else about running a business finances, funding, marketing, etc., by themselves. Plus, they're now being pushed to farm more sustainably and these sustainable practices are more time-consuming than what they used to do. They don't have the time or energy to focus on what's important on the farm, and as a result more than half of them aren't making enough money to be financially sustainable.
Homegrown Financing, Inc.
Multi-location brick & mortar companies struggle to access true expansion financing. The options they have are terrible -- they require entrepreneurs to put their personal assets at risk, or pay extremely high monthly fees. Additionally, the lending ecosystem in this space is anemic. There are hundreds of companies that focus on e-commerce / SaaS lending; they're all missing the larger market...where 75% of spending still happens: brick & mortar.
HyperTunnel
Industries like Energy, Utilities, Logistics and Manufacturing are facing a massive challenge. 80% of their workforce are frontline workers, and 50% of their experts will retire in the next 10 years. That represents more than $2T of knowledge going away. In most cases, it takes more than 3 years of on-the-job training for a new worker to become an expert.
These industries want to build the new and they need to maintain the old, but they don't have enough experts to be everywhere, all at once.
Iconic
Iconic addresses digital engagement and monetization challenges for cultural institutions and beyond. Many organizations struggle to reach global audiences and generate revenue online. Our solution: a marketplace for limited edition digital artworks and collectibles, and a 3D storytelling platform. This ecosystem enables cultural institutions, brands, and media companies to engage wider audiences and create new revenue streams.
Infinite Giving
The current financial system was made for business and retail clients, not nonprofits. Due to complex compliance requirements, they face multiple challenges like high balance requirements, low FDIC coverage, high fees, painful account openings, manual transfers, and fragmented services.
InStockRx
Medication waste and inefficiencies in the pharmacy supply chain result in approximately $11 billion in annual losses and contribute to significant drug shortages in the US and around the world.

Kayhan Space
Since the dawn of the space age, we have launched a little over 10,000 satellites to Space. In the next decade alone, we're expected to launch 10x times that!
Earth orbit is becoming a congested and contested space, making old ways of operating satellites unfeasible.
Today, a satellite operator with 100 satellites in low-earth orbit deals with tens of thousands of near-collision events per year, compared to a few hundred 10 years ago
Humans can no longer be in the loop of space operations.
ketteQ
Manufacturing, distribution and service operations are challenges to predict demand/sales, plan inventory and make optimal decisions for what to buy, move and make. Doing this well means better availability, better service, more revenue along with lower cost and capital and great productivity
KidVestors
In a recent financial literacy survey, only 18% of U.S. adults could answer more than 75% of the questions correctly. Underserved and underrepresented groups in the U.S. are at additional disadvantage; in addition to low financial literacy, they experience decreased access to financial education and resources. In student populations where 75% of the population are black and brown students, only 1 in 20 students have access to financial educational resources.
Lighthouz AI
Procurement teams purchase million dollars of goods and services via hundreds of emails and tons of spreadsheets. This is manual, slow, error-prone, and does not scale resulting in missed savings, project delays, and operational inefficiencies. The future of workplace is where procurement is automated.
Linq
It's hard for field salespeople to manage relationships with leads out in the field. They're either using pen/paper, or 4 different apps to collect, communicate with, and organize leads.
Made Trade
Conscious consumers face many challenges when shopping sustainable home goods online due to a fragmented market. High-quality, sustainable home decor is difficult to source with confidence, as consumers have to do their own research to vet brands, and most products lack transparency in materials and labor practices. At the same time, independent ethical brands lack sufficient sales channels to reach this target market. Most of these brands also avoid selling on Amazon due to misaligned values.
Mavity
Small to medium-sized companies struggle to access affordable, high-quality creative services. Traditional agencies are expensive and inflexible, while freelancers are unreliable. This leaves businesses unable to execute effective marketing and branding strategies, hindering their growth, leaving almost $35b per year in wasted design and marketing budgets.
MedFlow
Health insurers are pushing providers to transition to value-based-care (VBC) payment models to save on costs and promote effective care. Now providers need to give insurers proof of the quality and cost-efficiency of the care they give patients. However, existing tools were NOT built to operate these new workflows at scale. The VBC care actions DON'T happen, providers leave a lot of money on the table, and patients don't get quality care.
Members HQ, Inc.
Plan administrators are hired to operate and optimize the performance of self-funded health plans. Yet they lack the capabilities needed guide members to high quality, cost effective care options. The result is highly wasteful care decisions that ultimately fall on employers to foot the cost. Self-funded employers are looking for plan administrators that can effectively operate self-funded health plans while protecting plan assets.
meshVI
Making vehicle & driver insurance management easy while eliminating Errors & Omissions and reducing portal fatigue with a connected platform offering transparency never seen before in the transportation insurance space.
Mile Auto, Inc.
Low mileage drivers are overcharged by traditional auto insurance companies and forced to subsidize high mileage drivers. 60% of vehicles travel less than 10,000 miles per year, and Mile Auto is focused on serving that large market segment comprising over 150M vehicles on the road in the USA alone.
Mobiz Inc.
In a world where people are exposed to over 4,000 marketing messages daily, brands are struggling to stand out in the saturated "attention economy." Only top companies like Netflix and Amazon succeed by delivering hyper-targeted, personalized experiences. For 99% of other brands, achieving this at scale is nearly impossible due to the complex orchestration of data, tools, and marketing alignment required.
MYAVANA

Natrx, Inc.
Over 50% of the world's population and $100 trillion in assets are directly exposed to risk from erosion, storm surge, and sea level rise. Traditional construction approaches are expensive, lack resilience, and are ecologically damaging. These approaches rely on large volumes of heavy aggregates and offer insufficient tools for addressing complex resilience and restoration challenges. Natrx technologies offer asset holders and practitioners smarter, more modular, more sustainable techniques.
Ovum Health
Of the 10M people who are infertile in the US, 9.8M do not want IVF to be the answer, the supposed gold standard of infertility treatment. It's invasive, time-consuming, expensive, fails more than it succeeds and ends up costing the healthcare system billions of bloat in exorbitant maternity costs due to high risks like pre-eclampsia, c-section and multiples.
Peadbo
1. The wealth gap is growing, with first-generation college students making $36,000 less than those whose parents went to college. With over 1.3 million first-gen graduates per year, this represents over $48B in lost wealth each year.
2. According to Business Insider, 46% of Gen Zers and 39% of millennials feel anxious and stressed out at work all or most of the time, with 70% of Gen Z planning to quit their jobs.
Pitchit
Call centers and inbound sales teams in the insurance and telecom industry receive thousands of leads per day. On average, they can only engage 7% of them, and over 63% of the leads have to wait 15+ minutes to receive their first phone call. This leads to a bad customer experience and low conversion rates in early pipeline stages.
Propense.ai
The professional services industry business model has historically relied on legacy recurring revenue streams, as a result, sales technology has not kept up with the times. As automation and commoditization are eliminating core revenue streams in the professional services industry, there is an immediate need to cross-sell into services and products with higher profit margins. Lastly, new customer acquisition costs, for B2B businesses, are at all-time highs.
Qualytics
Data Quality is the top concern for most data teams. Large data operations, AI and ML obfuscate the quality of the underlying data, increasing the risk of making the wrong operational and qualitative decisions along with potential risk of reputation concerns.
Managing data quality without a scalable, augmented framework is impossible to scale.
QuantHub
AI and related technologies are rapidly evolving the skills workforce needs to be competitive. Traditional education models are outdated, and effective content creation can't keep pace. Sure, there are video libraries like Coursera, but they're bland and mass-created, with no personalization. There are no real providers of curriculum for data analytics and data science at the K-12 level, especially that can map to state standards of learning and integrate with school LMS systems.
Querri
Businesses often struggle with managing, cleaning, and analyzing complex data from multiple sources, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for insights. Traditional data management requires extensive technical expertise, making it inaccessible for many companies to leverage their data effectively.
RapidTitle Inc
The contemporary paper and pen process of obtaining a vehicle title is archaic. Currently, the process requires approximately 21 working days and involves 10 to 20 forms that must be completed, signed, and validated by different agencies. Forty States have some form of electronic titling, but this individualistic strategy results in every jurisdiction operating arbitrarily and independently. These models are outrageously complex and inefficient.
Rapt.ai, Inc.
Nvidia has shipped $144B of GPU systems since LLMs were launched(2022). As with all new technology, utilization is 15-30%. $101B of GPU cycles are not Utilized. Rapt's ML platform is taking customers utilization as close to 100% as they desire enabling 4X the amount of AI workload at current GPU spend levels...Dramatically accelerated AI time to Value and our customers competitive advantages.

By giving qualitative context to key performance metrics, ResultID enables companies to understand the stories behind the numbers, enhancing their ability to increase sales, retain customers, and optimize operations at scale.
Scaleup
There is a $300B+ gap between what F1000 corporations and government agencies spend with SMBs and what they plan to spend by 2025. Enterprises like the agility, innovation, and pricing from SMBs. However, these suppliers insert risk into enterprises' supply chains, as SMBs often lack scaled infrastructure and resources to grow at their customers' pace. Supplier management and development functions primarily track performance, but don't provide resources to truly enable suppliers to scale.
ScopeStack
Presales engineers have three things to do:
- Estimate the Level of Effort
- Create a Statement of Work (SoW)
- Price the Service
This is done primary through spreadsheets and word templates. Its terribly time consuming and inaccurate.
Shappi

Simpliworks
Small businesses selling physical products online face significant challenges in managing their digital sales channels due to limited resources and expertise. Rising eCommerce costs make it difficult for these businesses to stay afloat. Traditional agencies are prohibitively expensive, further shrinking their margins. Simpliworks offers a streamlined RevOps platform that enhances efficiency and maximizes advertising ROI in 1-click, enabling small brands to compete effectively and sustainably.
Skema, Inc.
Highly trained architectural design professionals are burdened by repetitive, time-consuming tasks. With traditional software, it is difficult to copy/paste or reuse prior design elements, so every building project is bespoke. Industrialized construction methods, gaining traction across all building sectors, negatively impact architects' margins due to how much design detail and rework they require. Skema can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in design fees on every commercial project.
Skillibrium, Inc.
GTM leadership and teams are currently managing their business using various disconnected tools, from LMS to CRM to BI reporting and coaching. These tools operate independently, leading to silos of data, system switching, and lost productivity. We solve this problem by unifying lite learning, workflows, coaching, and objective-based remediation focused on role-based skills and playbooks in one UI. We orient teams, skills, workflows, and coaching to provide a seamless selling/buying experience.
Slip Robotics
Slip Robotics is addressing the inefficiencies in logistics caused by lengthy and unpredictable truck loading and unloading times. 23% of driver time is spent waiting at loading docks. These delays lead to significant waste in the supply chain, increasing costs and reducing productivity.
SmartWiz
The accounting and Tax Prep industry is in a crisis. There are less and less people entering the field while more and more people are demanding their help because of the constant increasing rate of entrepreneurship and gig economy increases. Tax professionals go back and forth with their clients, have to do a mass amount of data entry, operate a full business, market, support, and manage in 96 days. Technology should do most of that heavy lifting
SMPL-C, Inc.
The US Department of Defense (DoD) created the CMMC program to ensure all defense contractors have robust cybersecurity measures before securing new contracts. While crucial for national security, CMMC's complexity poses challenges, especially for smaller companies lacking cybersecurity expertise. These companies often need to hire external experts, but there's a shortage of qualified professionals, creating a significant demand-supply issue in a $23 billion market.
Soteria LLC
Cybersecurity issues of clientele from pre-breach to Incident response to post breach. Services, solutions, and software (SaaS for Microsoft 365 assessments)
Spontivly
Spontivly exists to fight data chaos for marketing teams. Marketers are swamped by countless data sources and tricky integrations, unable to extract useful insights. This leads to guesswork in campaigns and wasted resources. They struggle to actually understand their results, making it nearly impossible to report meaningfully or make informed decisions. Without clear insights, marketers can't prove their value or adapt strategies, putting their departments at risk.
Station
Podcasts are the fastest growing form of media but make 70% less revenue than other creators. Podcasts are the only media channel where your thumbs not on the screen, making an audience 80% less likely to click on links, decreasing conversions and ability to monetize. Causing a huge 'audio gap' in revenue.
Stiegler EdTech
The US Department of Labor projects that by 2030 we will see a deficit of 6.5M workers leading to $1.75T in lost revenues. Meanwhile, our schools are not providing workforce relevant skills as roughly only 5-10% of students graduate high school with any direct classroom coding experience (varies by state). Currently, 10.9% of young adults living in NC between the ages of 16 and 24 are not currently in school or working. Without serious intervention, the American workforce is on pace to collapse.
Storybook
The current generation of children has been labeled "The anxious generation" 2 out of 3 children face difficulties with sleep and emotional well-being, which can negatively affect their development, behavior, and overall family dynamics. Traditional methods often fall short in providing effective, engaging, and screen-free solutions to these issues, leaving parents searching for better alternatives to support their children's needs.
Storybutton
The amount of screentime the average child under 15 has every day is a serious problem for its long term effects on obesity, anxiety and lack of attention. Parents are searching for a solution for their family that will help decrease screentime.
SupportNow
Every day, millions face hardships like accidents, illness, or loss. Families often struggle to identify/request help, while supporters bombard them with repetitive, unhelpful questions like "What can I do?" or "Let me know what you need." These well-meaning but disorganized offers are overwhelming. Existing tools like GoFundMe, MealTrain, and CaringBridge address specific needs but are fragmented and incomplete. Families and their supporters need an all-in-one solution that makes it easy.
SupportPay
A significant gap persists between the support parents and caregivers need and what is currently offered as an employee benefit and available in the consumer market. From caring for children or elderly parents to being a single parent or living in a multigenerational household, obligations are ongoing, time-consuming, & stressful.
Tempest Droneworx, Inc.
We have no shortage of data. Satellites, motion sensors, traffic and security cameras, even mobile devices have a plethora of sensors capable of detecting everything from sound through visual. The problem is aggregating all that data, presenting it in such a way that does not inflict sensory exhaustion, and sharing it in real-time across organizations that need it so that actionable decisions can be made faster.
Thought Horizon LLC (DBA Ready For Social)
B2B Marketers struggle to connect with target buying audiences and B2B salespeople struggle to be consistent and efficient on social media. Marketing efforts and revenues for Enterprises struggle in this new digital world.
Ultraview AI
Operational aircraft, both historical and current, require regular inspections. Delays in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services can cost airlines upwards of $100,000/hour for grounded aircraft. Manual inspection methods are labor-intensive, requiring 20-200 crewed hours, leading to safety concerns and inconsistent reporting. A critical shortage of skilled labor further complicates this issue, affecting both commercial airlines and national defense.
Urban SDK
Municipalities typically budget $200k - $1M per year on traffic data collection and transportation studies. This budget enables public works to address requirements for specific transportation ordinances (Traffic Calming, Transportation Improvement Planning, Signal Warrants) to respond to weekly citizen complaints, evaluate near-term needs and identify long term projects for Capital Improvement Programs (CIP).
Value Buddy
For M&A bankers, business brokers, and SBA lenders who have a slow, expensive underwriting process, Value Buddy provides a streamlined valuation and risk management platform that significantly reduces the cost and time to create valuation reports.
WickedFile
Profit leakage is a significant problem for auto repair shop owners due to parts theft, unaccounted-for parts costs, and the time it takes to sort through thousands of vendor invoices. The end result is thousands of dollars every month being lost by auto repair shops as a result of these inefficiencies.
X-lumin
Broadband infrastructure is undergoing an upgrade to handle modern computing needs, and provide Digital Equity for broadband access to all. Microwave tech is reaching the physical limit of its performance capability, and fiber cables to extremely expensive (time and cost) to deploy and maintain. Free Space Optical communication (laser comm) is a significant improvement of exiting infrastructure, and is required to power the next generation of smart cities, AI, IoT and space exploration.
ybot
Deskless workers (Healthcare, Transportation, Retail, Public Sector, Construction, Heavy Industry, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Utilities, Military and more) make up 80% of the world's workforce, yet they're rarely the beneficiaries of innovative technology. Given they need their eyes and hands to do their jobs, their screen-based responsibilities are often left to be completed after work hours, degrading work-life balance and contributing to deskless worker average attrition of 6 months.
Zinnia
The way that people buy has changed. B2B sales is difficult and only getting harder with inboxes inundated with spam messages and prospects now expecting personalized sales experiences.
