Connected Signals
Connected Signals (originally, Green Driver) is a high-tech startup, focused on providing traffic signal state and predictions to drivers, automakers, and others. Our engineers have developed sophisticated techniques to predict upcoming signal states. Knowing the current state of traffic lights and how they will change creates opportunities to increase driving safety, increase fuel efficiency, reduce your driving time and improve the driving experience. Applications range from EnLighten, which tells drivers when the light they are stopped at will turn green, to vehicle powertrain optimization based on the state of upcoming lights. Safety is our number one priority. We alert drivers to possible dangers without distracting them. For example, EnLighten tells drivers stopped at red lights whether they have time to catch their breath for a few seconds, change the radio station, or pick up the papers that fell on the floor. EnLighten waits until the car stops, so the driver is not distracted, then announces how long the light will be red and gives a visual countdown. A few seconds before the light turns green, an alert sounds to tell the driver to focus on to the road. Another service we are developing warns drivers when they, or another connected vehicle, are about to run a red light. We partner with municipalities, handling the complexities of gathering real-time signal data and making it available in consistent formats for a variety of uses. Unlike other connected-vehicle technologies, our approach requires neither costly municipal infrastructure investments nor the addition of dedicated hardware to every vehicle. We communicate securely with existing traffic-signal [...]

The treatment relies on behavioral and lifestyle changes usually spurred by a collection of digital impetuses. Because of the digital nature of the methodology, data can be collected and analyzed as both a progress report and a preventative measure. Treatments are being developed for the prevention and management of a wide variety of diseases and conditions, including type II diabetes, congestive heart failure, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, asthma, substance abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and several others. Digital therapeutics often employ strategies rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Remembering the past can bring a large amount of pleasure and understanding for anyone. People who suffer from Dementia and early onset Alzheimers often have difficulty remembering what has recently happened in their lives, so it is a way to easily talk about what they do remember. Often times the memories from years back remain detailed and intact.Reminiscence Therapy involves discussing and sharing memories, reviewing and evaluating those memories, and re-capturing the emotions and feelings that are an integral part of those memories.

Emerald Logic
Emerald Logic solves "Big Data" hyper-dimensional analytic problems in personalized medicine, predictive healthcare, diagnostics and biotech. Our Fast Collective Evolution Technology (FACET) combines biological and mathematical principles to answer billion-dollar questions that elude statistics, business intelligence, and traditional AI methods. No Black Boxes: Many AI methods take too long to train and are black boxes. These characteristics make them vulnerable to failures without advance warning, and cannot provide insight into the nature of the solutions. Emerald Logic is an algorithm factory that can produce tiny software programs in both human readable and executable forms. Finding Hidden Answers: Solutions to billion dollar problems are often hidden in complex, nonlinear relationships. Challenges in healthcare, finance, and defense have outrun business intelligence, statistics, and AI methods. Our FACET engine paradoxically ignores most of the haystack to find a needle, radically reducing solving time and costs. Math for the Real World: Engineers and finance quants often have to make simplifying assumptions to make intractable problems solvable, but real-world performance suffers. Instead, Emerald Logic samples the solution space with random bits of math, then guides and integrates them into optimal solutions. This simultaneously finds both the structure and parameters of formerly unknown solutions. Parallel Agent Search: Dandelion seeds spread by wind. Some take hold in fertile areas, then reproduce again. What starts randomly ends up efficiently finding the best areas to thrive. Our FACET engine produces many tiny software seeds that randomly sample a hyper-dimensional solution space. Some are closer to the ideal solution than others, and survive to evolve to optimality..

Glassbeam
Glassbeam was born in 2009 with a clear mission of “helping product companies make sense of complex machine data collected from connected devices”. Those were the early days of machine data analytics. Internet of Things (IoT) was not yet a mainstream trend by any stretch of imagination. However, Glassbeam founding team came from a rich background of working in leading storage networking companies such as NetApp and Brocade that were pioneers in uncovering the hidden potential in call home and phone home log data. The team had the fundamental belief that any high technology machine, system, or device, whether located in a data center or outside, such as storage, servers, MRI, CT Scan, CNC machines, industrial robots, etc will increasingly be connected to their manufacturer home base. These complex logs, if parsed and analyzed the right way, would have immense business and operational value for support, services, engineering, sales and marketing groups in these organizations. And thus Glassbeam was born with that premise – to create a generic cloud based platform that could ingest, parse, structure and analyze this complex machine data and provide cross functional application use cases for end users within the ever-expanding ecosystem of a product manufacturer.

Immuno Gum
Immuno Gum® was developed by Terry O’Neil M.D., a Board Certified practicing Emergency Room physician, and a graduate of the Ivy League’s Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Growing up Dr. O’Neil’s passion for health and fitness began at a young age by trying various protein powders, and vitamin solutions. In medical school and residency training he was always interested and intrigued by what could make the body better and healthier. Dr. O’Neil felt that preventing a cold and keeping one’s body healthy, is much more important than trying to treat a cold you already have. As Ben Franklin stated, “An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure.” Working in the ER, Dr. O’Neil witnessed that most immune-supporting products required the administration of tablets, or liquid-mixed powders several times a day. They are inconvenient to use and many don’t contain proven ingredients. In a fast-paced world people need a product that is not only effective, but also easy to use – something they can keep handy in their pocket or purse, and pop into their mouth when they are exposed to a cold, or in a space where they think they may be exposed to a cold. Dr. O’Neil concluded that the solution is to put quality immune-supporting ingredients in a pleasant-tasting product already used by millions everyday: chewing gum. Gum is convenient and, as Dr. O’Neil points out, “gum offers superior absorption advantages, as many of the ingredients can be absorbed directly through the mouth. In contrast, tablets and drinks need to [...]

InvVax
InvVax is commercializing the world's first universal influenza vaccine. We mapped the entire flu genome. Over three years, the founder Arthur Young tediously went through all 13,000 nucleotide positions and generated a comprehensive map of the genome through a functional screen. We used the map to identify the 28 regions of the virus that cannot mutate without it self-destructing. InvVax's key differentiator is that our vaccine targets only invariant positions. Our direct competitors are targeting conserved regions only. These are regions of the virus that are the same between most flu strains in nature. Targeting conserved regions addresses the first problem with seasonal vaccines, the mismatch of predicted and circulating strains. But it does nothing to address the second main problem, the mutation of the virus. Our functional screen revealed that the majority of conserved residues are actually not invariant. These invariant regions and the screening methodology used to identify them are patent-pending. InvVax has secured an exclusive option on this technology from UCLA. In addition, we are developing a much broader patent strategy with Wilson Sonsini.

Monitor Mask
Monitor Mask is a Seattle, Washington medical device company founded with the mission of selling the best capnography oxygen face masks to increase patient safety and streamline workflows. In the operating room, one third of the cases are sedation anesthesia as opposed to general anesthesia. When patients are given sedation anesthesia, the anesthesiologist applies a face mask to dispense supplemental oxygen and measure the carbon dioxide in a person’s breath, which is referred to as capnography. A change in these measurements may require immediate intervention, as such patients are at risk for respiratory depression. For this reason, anesthesiologists are mandated to monitor capnography. However, the market lacks optimized face masks that provide accurate capnography sampling capabilities. Frustrated with shortcomings of available options, the founder of Monitor Mask, a practicing anesthesiologist, developed the CapnoVue® family of face masks. Their design provides an easy to use, reliable and consistent means for meeting today’s clinical needs. It can be applied in virtually any patient position or procedural setting. Overall, Monitor Mask is a growing medical device company with FDA "approved” products, ten issued patents, trained sales force partner Salter Labs and growing & recurring sales to leading hospitals across the country. The company’s Board of Directors recently adopted a goal to exit in 1-2 years at > $30M. This is virtually unheard of for a medical device company with growing sales.

Also, the tightening of credit terms has forced several larger debt buyers onto the sidelines, bringing down prices of charged off debt to the lowest levels seen in the last 10 years.

Savara Pharmaceuticals (listed on NASDAQ as SVRA after merger with MAST (3x multiple)
Savara Pharmaceuticals is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company developing innovative pulmonary drugs for the treatment of serious and life-threatening conditions. Inhaled antibiotics are becoming the cornerstone of treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis and other chronic care patients who experience frequent lung infections, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. Despite these advancements, there are currently no approved inhaled drugs to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in people with cystic fibrosis―a life-threatening infection known to shorten the lives of affected patients. Vancomycin administered intravenously is the antibiotic of choice for the treatment of MRSA-related bronchopneumonia in cystic fibrosis patients, however, this method does not achieve optimal penetration into the lungs and systemic toxicities limit its use in a chronic setting. Savara Pharmaceuticals’ lead product candidate is AeroVanc™ (vancomycin hydrochloride inhalation powder), the first inhaled antibiotic being developed to address the growing population of MRSA-infected cystic fibrosis patients. By delivering vancomycin directly to the site of infection, AeroVanc has the ability to improve clinical efficacy and reduce adverse effects caused by broad-spectrum antibiotics.

SeniorQuote
SeniorQuote Insurance Services was founded over 10 years ago by Bill Haynor, a pioneer in offering affordable life and health insurance solutions to the “Baby Boomer” generation. “The desire to protect seniors like me from the uncertainties of life,” Bill explains simply. “That was my reason for starting SeniorQuote.” Bill personally understands the importance of having good health coverage at an affordable price. Not long ago, Bill experienced a series of health issues that forced him to rely on his personal Medicare Supplement Insurance. With a heart surgery, emergency appendicitis, open heart surgery and a knee surgery all in a two year period, Bill quickly exceeded his Medicare coverage, with bills totaling well over $400,000. Click for a look at Bill’s medical bill. “It was unbelievable!” Bill laughs. “I have been so healthy for my whole life, but in that short period of time I was hit from every direction, and I would have had to pay almost half a million dollars in medical bills, if I didn’t have Medicare and my Medicare Supplement Insurance plan. Instead, I paid nearly nothing. More than ever before, I see the value we provide to our customers at SeniorQuote.” In the early 1970s, Bill worked with the Waddell and Reed life insurance model which promoted low cost term life insurance in place of higher cost whole life insurance with the proposition that the difference in premium (premium savings) should be invested in mutual funds for retirement. In the 1980s, Bill was a founder of SelectQuote Insurance Services, one of [...]

After brainstorming a solution, Chris and Christian entered into the UC Santa Barbara business plan competition and won. Since that time, several revisions of Phone Halo have been released including Cobra Tag, inSite, TrackR wallet and TrackR sticker. Each better than the last. Over a quarter of a million devices later, the team is proud to announce TrackR bravo and represents the original vision for the company of taking the database of items in your head and moving that to your phone. TrackR is a crowdfunding pioneer, having raised more than $2 million on IndieGoGo here, here and here. In October, 2015, TrackR announced $8.7 million in A round funding led by Foundry Group. In May, 2016, an investment in TrackR by Amazon.com was reported, to develop an interface between TrackR device and the Amazon's Echo device and Alexa virtual assistant.
