Manju Dawkins the Founder & CEO of Thimble

Love needles? Neither do we.

Our pain and anxiety-relieving products are easy to use, fast to work and designed specifically for needles. We’re taking the pain out of shots, blood draws, injections and needle procedures of any kind.

We’re changing the way healthcare feels.

Needle pain causes up to 25% of people in the U.S. to avoid flu vaccines and other simple medical procedures. It’s time for painless to be the new standard of care.

Aeron Sullivan the Founder of HedgeDesk

Exchange rates (FX) stifle trade and hamper economic opportunity, especially in emerging economies. We are democratizing derivatives to relegate FX volatility to antiquity and make global trade and worldwide economic access so ubiquitous, it’s taken for granted.

Exchange rates can fluctuate 10–25% annually, leading to busted budgets and disrupted cash flows. This volatility impacts startups and enterprises in virtually every industry.

Thankfully, companies can hedge with derivatives like futures and options to help manage, contain, and even benefit from that risk.

Somer Baburek the CEO of HERA Biotech

Unlike the surgical method, Hera’s test (MetriDxTM) is capable of diagnosing and staging endo, quantitatively. This capability provides physicians objective data, which can be used in the clinical management of the disease. Collecting patient tissue samples is a common practice in physician offices. The uterine tissue sample required for Hera’s test will be collected via a Pipelle biopsy and shipped to Hera’s lab for analysis. This entire process is well-established as it is comparable to the model used for a PAP smear. MetriDxTM will greatly reduce wait time and failure rates associated with the current standard by moving diagnostic capability from the OR to the physician’s office, eliminating both guesswork and patient downtime from the equation.

Gilberto Desalvo the CEO of Delphire Inc

Every year, wildfires cause $130 Billion in economic damages and release greenhouse gasses equivalent to 65% of California's transport industry. That is when we are fortunate enough that no lives are lost. A significant portion of the annual burn area is the result of just a few fires attributed to the electric grid.

Delphire was created to provide early detection of these grid-related fires. Our system can detect these wildfires in seconds using a state-of-the-art CV and AI pairing while gathering data from before the fire started. Once we learn more about the conditions that lead to ignition, we expect our system to prevent fires.
