Kwaddle Problem “Getting your child into the hottest summer camps in Austin, TX is like a blood sport.” – Karen, mother of 8 year-old boy. Parents have a very difficult time discovering new programs for their children and coordinating enrolment and logistics for extra-curricular enrichment activities. The average parent spends five hours per week, per child searching and planning activities for children. Current resources are not helpful because they do not list schedules, real-time availability, photos, videos, ratings and reviews, and existing solutions do not give parents interactive tools to manage the overall growth and development of children.

Solution

Kwaddle is creating a platform that includes: 1.) a robust marketplace to connect parents and activity providers, 2.) a rich set of tools for parents to manage their child’s growth and development, and 3.) a vibrant user community for parents to exchange information with

one another related to child enrichment. Kwaddle gives child activity providers a new digital channel to efficiently market and engage with consumers.

Market Across the United States, child activities, sports leagues for kids, enrichment classes and care is estimated to be a $60B market. A subset of the overall child activity market, the summer camp industry is a $16B market all by itself. Our initial target market is the greater Austin-metro area, which is estimated at approximately $60M. We arrived at this figure based on roughly 650 child activity providers in the Austin area. On average, each provider charges $300 per a week of summer camp, operates for 10 weeks during the summer and holds 30 students per a week. In addition, many of these providers also operate after school activities and weekend classes during the school year. Business Model A 15% commission fee goes to Kwaddle for every camp, activity or class booked by a parent through the platform. The commission fee will be taken from the providers, so consumers will not see an additional fee. However, Kwaddle will also implement a freemium model for consumers. Parents can use the Kwaddle marketplace for free, but if parents want additional perks, such as early registration for specialty camps or insider information, then parents will pay a yearly membership fee.

Competition Traditional media, such as in-person trade shows, printed flyers, and events at local schools are the primary channel that most parents discover new child activity providers. There are also digital versions of traditional media companies, such as Do512Family or the Austin Chronicle’s online database, but the biggest threat is from venture funded Internet startups in this space, such as Activity Hero, Kid Pass, and Pearachute.

Milestones

A public beta version of the product launched in May 2016

Over 1,300 users on the Kwaddle email list and website traffic has been growing by an average of 120% month-over-month.

musx Problem There are 75 million millennials in the U.S. and music is their #1 form of entertainment. Music businesses, however, are struggling to consistently convert this generation into paying fans due to changing music consumption behavior, poor-quality data and inadequate marketing channels. Despite persistent efforts by artists, labels and live music promoters, 50% of all concert tickets go unsold and up to $2.6 billion in additional spending remains uncaptured each year.

Solution

musx was designed to make it possible for millennials to quickly discover high-quality new music recommendations from their friends and preferred sources. The next phase of our platform will enable artists, labels and promoters to reach and convert targeted millennial audiences when they are most likely to make music discovery and purchase decisions. First, musx will make it easier to identify fans based on artist and genre preferences, location and age. Second, and most significantly, musx will allow music businesses to promote new music and concerts directly to those fans when they are looking for specific types of music. This hyper-targeted and timely promotion will increase revenue for music businesses while decreasing total marketing spend.

Market Our target market is artists, labels and live music promoters who collectively spend over $4 billion on promoting music and concerts per year. In their efforts to reach the younger generations, the majority of this spending has shifted to digital channels where they are forced to compete with various types of content on non-music platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat.

Business Model Our revenue will come from targeted advertising, syndicated data and commissions on ticket, song and direct-to-fan sales. We will partner with artist management companies, labels and live music promoters, who will pay musx to promote new music and concerts to high-value audiences. We have started securing contracts with strategically targeted partners, including a premier management company representing 25 major artists. We also have begun talks with executives at Universal Music Group and Live Nation.

Competition There is currently no go-to platform for peer music discovery, and therefore no native way to reach fans while they are looking for music exists. While similar startups have begun to enter the space, we have taken deliberate steps to forge a formidable and defensible foundation. This includes securing a vigorous Board of experts in music and tech who possess unrivaled insight into the issues music businesses currently face and how musx can provide the most value. Furthermore, we have begun leveraging their experience and networks to establish the key industry relationships necessary for maximum growth. musx also complements major streaming services (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) and will drive subscriptions to those platforms. Moreover, the nature of our business allows us to avoid the major overhead costs that burden them.

Milestones

Featured twice in ‘Best New Apps’ on the App Store

Featured in ‘Top Startups’ by The Next Web

Named ‘Instagram for music’ by Digital Music News

Average session length is 1.5x longer than the music app average and 4x social app average

Team

Our management has a deep understanding of both the consumer and industry markets as well as a unique ability to generate excitement and support from each of them. We have also proven our ability to recruit elite engineering, design and marketing talent, and have built a passionate and experienced core team that will enable musx to scale rapidly.

HERO Problem Over 112M times a year Americans drive drunk, resulting in 2 out of 3 Americans being involved in drunk driving accidents in their lifetimes. One third of traffic fatalities are due to drunk driving.

Solution

HERO’s mobile platform is an all in one solution for getting people home safely that disrupts the cycle of driving drunk by featuring all available transportation options including friends & family. The platform empowers communities to reward their customers for using HERO to get home as well as for being a designated driver.

Market Each year drunk driving costs these industries over $61B & collectively the US spends $21B each year to reduce drunk driving. Current efforts to reduce drunk driving focus on the problem, the punishment and lack a comprehensive solution to the problem.

Business Model Insurers pay for risk exposure reduction and user data to reduce loss liability from drunk driving lawsuits (Dram Shop laws). HERO’s marketing assets are purchased by consumer facing brands, such as alcohol manufacturers and state governments. These assets allow them to engage with millennials while reducing drunk driving incidents.

Competition A few mobile apps have attempted to aggregate rideshare & transportation options such as Uber & Lyft. However, they are not transportation mode agnostic (they make money from transportation providers), they are not built to provide industry value, lack in-app booking, rewards & HERO’s social network designated driver functionality.

Milestones

Successful pilot with $65K in revenue, rewards drove a 31X return, helped thousands get home safely & reached millennials 3.5M times.

Completed prestigious Techstars Mobility accelerator this September.

Paying partners include fortune 100 organizations & government agencies including the state of Maryland, Munich RE, & more. Current pipeline consists of dozens of the world’s largest insurers & alcohol brands.

28 states have requested HERO, we have 100’s of businesses signed up & distribution partners representing over 30,000 more.

Current investors: Fontinalis Partners, Star Power LLP which is backed by Draper Associates, Foundry Group, Iron Gate Capital, Landscape Capital, Right Side Capital, Silicon Valley Bank & Walt Winshall.

Team

HERO is a full-time team of 7. Our team has strong backgrounds in business administration, marketing, public relations, political science, web design, development, & computer engineering.

Harlow’s Custom Dog Meals

Problem Production of dog food has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years as recalls have begun to plague the industry. Very few companies actually disclose the sourcing and quality of the ingredients in question, leading to instances of oversight. This lack of transparency and quality control continues to have adverse outcomes on pets. Adding to this layer of uncertainty is the rise of pet obesity, which is estimated to affect over 53% of dogs. Obesity can shorten the average lifespan of a dog by nearly 2.5 years and is costly for pet owners. This is largely due to the lack of quality ingredients and proper labeling, leading pet owners to overfeed dogs with food low in nutritional value.

Solution

Harlow’s Custom Dog Meals will be the solution for pet owners who are conscious of the quality of their dog’s meals and looking to eliminate the guess-work out of healthy feeding for pets. Our dedication to quality means we will provide full transparency into our ingredients list and sources. Through a web enabled platform, pet owners will be able to easily input their dog’s characteristics in order to generate a customized, weekly dietary plan based on their dog’s caloric needs that is then delivered directly to their front door. The meal plan, which has been developed by our vet nutritionist, will eliminate the guess work on portion control and a balanced nutrition.

Market Pet ownership is widespread in the United States, with 70% of all households owning a pet. Dogs are the most popular with 42% of households owning a dog and 77.8 million dogs owned in the United States alone. In 2015, the dog food market had $14.5 billion in sales with the premium dog food market making up more than half of that with $8.2 billion in sales, premium dog food in particular has increased 170% since 2000. A large portion of this growth is due to the humanization of dogs by Millennials. There are currently 79 million 18- 34 year olds who make up the Millennial population of the United States, with 35% owning dogs. This demographic has been responsible for 43% of the growth in pet owners since 2007. Millennials strive to feed their dogs the healthiest and safest foods they can find, as they view dogs as “child replacements.”

Business Model Harlow’s Custom Dog Meals is a subscription based service. Customers pay by the month for 4-weeks of food delivery. Costs account for 60% of revenues, similar to other premium label dog food manufacturers. Our production will scale from Austin, TX and Bentonville, AR in the first year and ramp up to additional cities over the course of 3 years.

Competition We have current competition from a few start-ups specializing in fresh dog food: Ollie, PetPlate, The Farmer’s Dog, and Nom Nom Now. Ollie is the most formidable competitor as they are targeting weekly recipes formulated for weight and activity level. They also have significant backing through one of the co-founders family ties. All of these start-ups are based in either San Francisco or New York, with no offerings in the South / Central US. In addition, they are priced significantly higher than Harlow’s.

Peeple Problem Your front door is a blind spot. You know whenever someone calls you on the phone, but you have no idea if someone comes to your house. You need caller for your door. If you have ever missed a delivery, been robbed (most robberies happen through the front door), been solicited, lost track of your children at home, etc. Then you have experienced this problem.

Solution

We are developing Peeple: the elegant, compact, and easy-to-use caller ID for your front door. Peeple is a smart camera that attaches to existing peepholes and easily connects to home Wi-Fi to identify, inform, screen, and alert people to any outside presence. Say goodbye to the days of worrying about what time the kids got home, if the package arrived, or if there’s a potential intruder at the rental property. When the house is empty, Peeple is home.

Market Our market is very clear. People who have doors, smart phones, and Wi-Fi in their homes will be able to use our product. In fact, the smart phone is optional. Peeple will work from a web browser as well. Also, we plan on giving attention to a previously ignored market, the rental and multi-family home market. There more than 50 million multi-family homes in the US, Things like peepholes or windows are required on these doors by law (by state and municipality, e.g. Texas Property Code 92.154)

Business Model We are currently selling Peeples for $149. We will also provide a monthly pro subscription service that will let you have long time storage and search capability.

Competition We are first to market with this specific solution and we hold the patent. There are several competing smart doorbells on the market (ring and skybell) as well as full service security offerings (e.g. ADT). None of these solutions address the multi-family home market or the broader DIY security market that is blossoming and forecasted to grow to the billions and trillions in the near future.

Unmanned Applications Problem Police, firemen and emergency responders work in a volatile and challenging environment. Large crowd management, emergency response, public demonstrations and civil unrest induce enormous security expense and in some situations, significant property damage and city liability. Better awareness tools and deliberate efforts to improve police accountability have been shown to reduce these costs while increasing public safety. Drones (UAS) can provide these tactical and training advantages through live video/thermal imaging at a relatively low cost. However, they aren’t used due to their limited flight time, user complexity, and complicating FAA regulatory environment.

Solution Unmanned Applications solves these problems by developing and selling a tethered drone that delivers unlimited flight time, mitigates user complexity, and immediately complies with FAA regulations. Our solution can help find suspicious activity at large events, can be flown above burning buildings to assess danger via thermal imaging and can offer persistent “eye in the sky” evidence that body cameras can’t match. We will also tailor our offerings to agencies’ unique needs.

Xyber Technologies

Problem Data centers consume 3% of the world’s power and are responsible for 2% of all greenhouse gas emissions. By 2020 consumption will increase to 140 billion kW/h of electricity, the equivalent of 50 large power plants. With exponential growth in IT demand, providers and consumers of data center infrastructure have been facing increasing pressure to become more efficient for both cost and environmental reasons. The data center industry today focuses on innovation at the facility level (e.g., hot aisle/cold aisle design, more efficient HVAC systems, etc.). However, the source of the problem is within the servers.

Solution

Our patented passive cooling system uses heat pipes to move heat from the hot components inside servers to the sides of the rack where the heat can be isolated and removed efficiently. A heat pipe is a specially designed sealed copper tube that uses a minute amount of fluid to move heat. Once heat has been moved from the rack to heat sinks along the outer side walls of the rack and isolated into vertical ducts, natural convection vents the heat out of the building. Our system reduces cooling requirements up to 75%, reduces server power consumption up to 30%, and reduces data center Total Power Consumption up to 40%. If data centers adopted this technology, the US would not require another power plant for the next 10 years.

Market The Global Total Addressable Market reached $140 Billion annually in 2015. The data center infrastructure market in the US grew to $70 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow 10% by the end of 2016. Over 50% of this market is the Cloud, which is dominated by Microsoft and Amazon, who contract with Asian ODMs. Other large web service companies like Google, OVH, Facebook, Yahoo, eBay, and others are increasingly contracting with ODMs. Large server ODMs include Quanta, Wistron and Inventec in Taiwan. Branded server OEMs like Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo and Cisco continue to dominate the enterprise customer and populate data centers focused on colocation.

Business Model Xyber’s server cooling technology will be licensed on a per watt basis, allowing adoption of our passive cooling system into servers, storage servers, networking appliances and power infrastructure. Xyber racks will be licensed on a per rack basis as the foundational infrastructure to our cooling platform. Contract work will provide additional revenue, as we adapt Xyber technology to licensing partner servers, network and power infrastructure, and facility specifications and designs.

Competition Forced Air Cooling is the industry standard, but presents significant drawbacks with the need for Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAH) or Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units, which are expensive to install, maintain and operate. Considerable energy is also needed to move cold air through servers with server fans. Liquid Cooling technology dates back to the 1980’s with Cray supercomputers. Many data center experts expect that the industry may be forced to return to liquid cooling, despite the costs and risks involved, as forced air cooling has reached a natural limit to cool ever-increasing computational densities. Immersive Fluid Cooling uses an all-liquid path to remove server heat by placing servers in tanks of dielectric fluid. Key concerns with this technology are the maintenance of servers, large quantities of non-recyclable, oil-based coolant in the data center that needs to be replaced every 33 days, modification of servers with non-standard parts, and poor space utilization.

SandBox Commerce Problem The prospect for retailers wanting to build scalable mobile apps can be overwhelming and is both expensive and time consuming. Only 2% of retailers have the resources and/or confidence to hurdle this barrier and have taken advantage of the revenue growth that apps have driven for the eCommerce sector.

Solution SandBox Commerce is the easiest way for retailers to build, deploy, and manage engaging mobile application experiences for their customers. Retailers use their credentials for a Shopify, BigCommerce, Demandware, Magento, etc. to immediately populate a back end and begin creating a unique mobile app without technical know-how. Using a 10 step wizard, non-technical personnel within a retail organization are able to design and integrate best in class, third party API integrations and easily deploy their enterprise-grade mobile application to the iOS and Google Play stores.

Our platform enables retailers to build mobile apps with custom content-driven commerce pages, geo-notifications, push notifications, loyalty programs, and other features that are the most engaging for commerce; these features all take advantage of a phone’s native functionality. SandBox Commerce’s platform functions as a retailer’s mobile marketing and support team with: machine learning, a mobile analytics dashboard, and in-app chat functionality. The end result is an app that delights a retail brands’ most important asset, their customers! SandBox Commerce de-risks mobile for retailers who previously had to spend $50,000-$300,000 to deploy a mobile solution. In less than a day retailers can have a mobile app that is able to convert a customer base that spends 3x than mobile web and converts at 120% mobile web; we democratize the ability for any retailer to implement a mobile solution that gives them a solid ROI by increasing sales.

Market Mobile commerce is the fastest growing sector of retail commerce and projected to account for $321 billion dollars of the eCommerce market by 2017. With roughly 10% of that coming from apps today, this equals a $32 billion dollar addressable market for SandBox Commerce.

Business Model The platform is paid for by a 7.5% shared revenue for all sales that are transacted through the mobile app. We are targeting retailers who generate at least $5 million or more in gross eCommerce sales.

Competition Startups like BuildFire, GPShopper, Como, etc. These companies help retailers get into app stores but do not help them engage effectively with or grow the user bases of these apps. Shopify and BigCommerce could offer app creation, they have made it clear that they are hyper-focused on enhancing the mobile web ecosystem. Agencies are expensive or offer little flexibility.

Recent Milestones During week two of our Open BETA Program, we entered into a 1 Year licence agreement with JLAB Audio. We’re projecting $18K per year in ARR (We are projecting $25K per customer per year when we add our first customers doing $5 million annually in eCommerce revenue).Added 10 additional mid-enterprise brands to our platform during our Open BETA program. Closed $410 Pre-Seed Round.

ALYTIC Health Problem Hospital acquired infections are a major burden on healthcare systems worldwide. In the US alone, hospital acquired infections are cause between $10-$20B of healthcare spending each year that is unnecessary and avoidable. Hospitals rely on CDC best practices to prevent infections and provide surveillance to treat infections after they happen. The shotgun prevention approach and costly method of addressing infections after they occur burdens hospital resources and hurts hospital insurance ratings.

Solution ALYTIC Health is revolutionizing infection prevention by leveraging big-data analytics to produce technology solutions for healthcare providers. Our first product — SuSI — will provide clinicians, both physicians and hospital staff, with prospective and individualized risk assessment for the most common hospital-acquired infections (HAIs): (1) surgical site infections (SSIs), (2) catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), (3) central-line blood stream infections (CLABSIs), (4) MRSA bloodstream infections, and (5) Clostridium difficult (C Diff) infections. SuSI is an advanced clinical decision support system that helps providers efficiently assess infection risk before an infection occurs when there is an opportunity to prevent it.

Market More than 700,000 hospital acquired infections occur each year in the United States. By reducing the incidence of hospital acquired infections, SuSI can help payers and providers save money by reducing direct healthcare costs, improving quality metrics that affect reimbursement, and more efficiently allocating resources away from HAIs.

Business Model SuSI has been in development for 18 months at St. David’s HealthCare. Our strategy for bringing SuSI to market will be to expand and refine our models for improved accuracies and usability. We will continue to build our product and leverage the clinical expertise available at St. David’s Healthcare in Austin, TX. We will also build a more robust and scalable infrastructure to support the analytics needs of a broad customer base, including hospitals, physicians, and more. Last, we will conduct a one-year validation study to demonstrate the SuSI can accurately predict HAIs in at least 20 hospitals, and also to show that SuSI can produce a positive ROI for adopters.

Competition SuSI is superior, and vastly different, to those currently available because it is enables prospective risk assessment, rather than the current norm of retrospective surveillance and provides actionable intelligence to drive risk intervention strategies. Importantly, SuSI accurately identify patients most at risk for an HAI, which enable providers to efficiently target those patients for interventions, generating a quantifiable and positive ROI for adopters of our technology. Additionally, SuSI actively collects clinical data in real time from a hospital’s electronic medical record (EMR) system without the need for labor-intensive data entry by a dedicated infection prevention team, saving time, reducing errors, and reducing costs of utilizing.

MedNoxa Problem Ulcers on the feet and legs are a serious problem affecting up to 25% of the 29M diabetics within the United States and over 400M diabetics across the globe. Every 30 seconds, a leg is lost to diabetes. This is predominately a result of poor oxygen delivery to wounds due to diabetic circulatory issues. Although 85% of amputations are preventable, currently there are no early OTC treatment options to inhibit the formation of grade 1 ulcers or the degradation of grade 1 ulcers to grade 2 ulcers. Later state O2 treatments cost up to $25K annually.

Solution A patented, affordable, flexible OTC wound dressing that generates oxygen from hydrogen peroxide and provides controllable, accurate delivery of oxygen to wounds to promote tissue growth and healing of both acute and chronic wounds. Market In 2013, BCC Research reported that $1.8B was spent in the US alone on healing diabetic ulcers. MedNoxa is positioned towards the prevention of diabetic ulcers and the broader markets of acute, chronic and veterinary wounds are also relevant. In 2013, these markets generated revenues of $8B, $1B and $750M respectively. The total available market for MedNoxa is estimated at well over $6B. Launching in the veterinary market while gaining FDA clearance will shorten time to market and provide further product and efficacy validation. Business Model Wholesale pricing achieves a 53% margin with direct sales providing a 76% margin at $3 per bandage at retail and $1.5 per bandage at wholesale against costs of $0.72 per bandage. Direct, on-line sales will be used to enter the market and then transition to a multi-channel strategy with B2B Sales to hospitals and medical providers and veterinarians plus wholesale to pharmacies and retail.

Competition Hyperbaric chambers to Band-Aids. Topical Oxygen therapy is not currently accessible or affordable as an OTC solution so diabetics choose basic bandages or nothing at all. Oxyband, Oxygenesys, TransCuO2, and Epiflo are the closest competitors and their FDA 510(k) clearance establishes predicate devices.
