Goal-based investing 2.0

Aimvest Technologies provides an asset management platform to financial planners. We allow them to set precise targets for their clients’ portfolios and our quantitative risk-management models manage risk in real time to optimize for the probability of hitting these targets. In contrast to tedious risk-tolerance questionnaires and arbitrary risk scores that fail to maximize such probabilities, our scientific approach to risk-taking helps planners have a meaningful and trusted dialogue with clients, and reconciles budgeting with investing.

Sit at the harvester’s table

“Fresh” shouldn’t be ambiguous when buying seafood, but it is. The vast majority of seafood sold at grocery stores and even fish markets is labeled ‘fresh’ or ‘just arrived,’ but due to opaque and complex supply chains it was likely harvested a week or more ago. We’ve built an e-commerce company that simplifies the supply chain and provides complete transparency by empowering off-loaders and harvesters to ship seafood directly from the dock. We provide small, family harvesters access to new customers and the tools to ship nationwide. E-Fish customers trust us to find and provide consistently high-quality products, delivered right to their doorstep.

The smart solution to ice dams

Ice dams—dangerous ice and water buildup on roofs—cause $9.5B in damages on properties across the U.S. each year. Floe is an MIT & Yale startup developing a smart, cost-effective, and environmentally- friendly solution to provide asset protection and peace of mind to commercial property owners and managers. Our product autonomously monitors and predicts ice buildup using its advanced sensor suite. Once proper conditions are detected, it responds by depositing a small volume of a non-corrosive, biodegradable, and pet & plant-safe deicing fluid to create channels in the ice to discharge the snowmelt.

Postpartum recovery: there is a better way

While childbirth is miraculous, it is a physically traumatic and emotionally isolating experience. Almost all new moms who give birth vaginally experience a painful tear that can drastically affect daily life. Recovery takes weeks to months, and yet moms are just sent home with ice packs. They silently recover, while focus switches to the baby.

At MomMe we are passionate about giving moms the agency to proactively promote healing rather than just treat symptoms. Our vision is to develop a suite of connected health wearables that improve both physical and emotional recovery.

Our first postpartum wearable product aims to promote vaginal healing and reduce pain by applying a soothing mechanotherapy regimen. Our research-backed technology is natural, drug-free, and safe for breastfeeding moms. Importantly, our connected app serves as a platform for device control, and mom-centric postpartum education, support, and care.

The power of knowledge and change for your health

As we begin to reopen, it can be difficult to know what are the right things to do for our health. This fall, 5 million college students will be returning to campuses, creating concerns for student health and safety. At Respezy, our goal is to increase safety for students and reduce monitoring and enforcement challenges for colleges. The Respezy app uses a risk assessment model that produces an infection risk score based off of the student’s environment and activities. The app allows students to plan and track their daily behaviors and lower their health risks. The app can predict potential safety issues on campus and allow colleges to prevent them. After the pandemic, we plan on helping millennials adopt healthier behaviors by integrating more application and technology into our platform.

Low carbon hydrogen for the oil and gas sector

Hydrogen produced by fossil fuel reforming (96% of total H2 production) contributes to 2.3% of global warming emissions. At Thiozen, we invented a novel process that generates hydrogen for oil and gas that is 25% less expensive and 80% less carbon intense than current production methods. We do this by recycling hydrogen at an oil refinery from a waste gas, hydrogen sulfide. The value of our process is threefold: 1) we safely process hydrogen sulfide, 2) we generate valuable hydrogen gas, a crucial input to refinery operations, and 3) we provide an attractive investment opportunity that helps decarbonize the oil and gas sector.

The bra minimum

Undergarments and outer garments are developed in isolation, limiting the effectiveness of both and forcing women to choose between style and support. TORSO imagines an alternative way of dressing––we elevate essentials into essensuals: sensual silhouettes that coalesce a styled outer layer with soft, sewn-in support. Combining elements of athleisure, lingerie, and contemporary fashion into one seamless solution, TORSO allows women to reveal themselves in a fashion that is effortless, elevated, and embodied.
