As new parents, it’s very easy to get overwhelmed quickly and often. Our purpose is to allow friends and family to actively be a part of the parenthood journey, by providing meals that are simple and convenient to new parents when life is at its most chaotic. In the process, we will donate 5% of all proceeds to our select partner for research and relief of Postpartum Depression. Together, we will help make the most miraculous event in life, the birth of a newborn, a more comforting and engaging experience.

We measure the motion of wheelchairs through both proprietary hardware and software.  We analyze the data in different contexts to help with fitness, clinicians & rehab, and accessibility, among others.  Through the software component, we build user interactions with this information focusing on fitness apps, client management, and accessibility and navigation maps/apps.  The insights we gain tell the story of a wheelchair user’s life – accessibility, fitness, health, injury prevention and social inclusion and have been validated by our work with NSW Institute of Sports and leading SCI hospitals.

Born out of each founder’s personal struggle with recovery from an injury, our digital assistant, SaRA, reduces the cost of occupational injuries by supporting patients through their recovery process resulting in reduced recovery times. Employers can save $5,000+ per injury per week saved in recovery time and, as a whole, $20B across all US employers. Currently, we have a beta-tested product, are in the Techstars Kansas City cohort, and are partnering with Bardavon Health Innovations for an outcomes study. Lastly, we are looking for potential corporate clients who are interested in helping their employees, or those of their clients, return to work quicker and healthier after a workplace injury.

Little Leaguer, Kyler Russell, loved baseball, but hated the mandatory cup he had to wear.  His parents encouraged him to channel his complaints into creating an alternative and he knocked one out of the park with a smarter, softer solution.   Kyler created Comfy Cup , a youth athletic cup for boys like him who dislike wearing the traditional hard athletic cup.  Comfy Cup provides light protection in a comfortable—and kid-friendly—design.

Unlike the typical hard plastic versions, Comfy Cup is soft and flexible. It’s molded from pliable foam that contours to the body, and has a breathable mesh lining. Its scaled-down size and light impact protection make it the perfect first athletic cup for school-aged kids just getting started with contact sports.

Area of Assistance/Guidance

• We are always open to constructive criticism, recommendations and guidance as we scale our business.
• We would love to connect with a mentor who has experience selling on Amazon and can offer guidance on bookkeeping and accounting for Amazon.
• We are currently seeking legal advice on the possibility of a patent for Kyler’s Comfy Cup.
• We are always looking to partner with local sporting goods retailers to carry Comfy Cup inventory in their brick and mortar or online store.

Glasswater LFL is a company committed to helping prevent the over 2,000 tons of lead fishing litter that goes into our lakes, rivers and coastal waters every fishing season.  Anglers are overwhelmingly environmentally minded not only because they have an appreciation for the great outdoors but for the common sense reason that a cleaner environment means more places to fish and more fish in those places.  By providing fishers with lead free solutions that can compete with lead products in terms of price, availability and effectiveness we know our fishing friends will make a change to ecofriendly lures and weights and together we can “get the lead out” and make some money too!!!

Area of Assistance/Guidance

1. We are looking for are introductions to interested groups from Boy Scout troops to potential investors.
2. We are interested in getting sponsorships, attracting funding and generating marketing avenues in addition to getting the word out about the hazards of lead.
3. We are needing some help in locating OEMs, finding or developing automated processes for a number of our products and advice on how to source both within the USA and overseas.

As a mom of four children with multiple food allergies, I have been cooking allergen-free since 2004.  Not wanting my kids or anyone else with food allergies to feel excluded at school, birthday parties, social events, etc., I created snacks that looked and tasted similar to what others were eating, but were free of the food allergens they had to avoid and still tasted delicious.  Many years later, Safely Delicious™ was born.  Safely Delicious™ snacks are free of Gluten, Dairy, Peanut, Tree Nuts, Soy and Egg and are made in a dedicated commercial facility free of these allergens.  Safely Delicious™ snack bites are sweet and crunchy, Vegan, have no cholesterol, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no preservatives, and are an excellent source of iron.
