Curastory is an online marketplace where content creators upload video content for brands to sponsor.

Curastory is a platform where creators can upload their own content (free of outside influence) and then companies can choose to sponsor individual videos. We allow content creators to shoot, edit, monetize, and distribute their video content to all of their video channels (YouTube, IGTV, FB Watch, etc.). Content creators upload videos within our marketplace where we then match videos to brands by video topics and consumer demo. Brands browse videos to bid on, and gain exclusive sponsorship rights to the video. After the sponsored video is posted by the creator, we track consumer engagements on the video channels connected to the brand website or app for attribution tracking. This creates flexibility and freedom for both the creators and the sponsors.

Evolute is an edge computing platform that enables enterprise IT to go where the cloud can’t go.

Evolute provides the next generation of server virtualization. We enable IT Operators to deploy and manage containers in production. We provide the ability to move applications from legacy environments (e.g. VMware, Amazon EC2) to a Container in under 3 minutes and the infrastructure and management software which enables organizations to have the network, storage and security capabilities they need to natively run containerized applications in production.

nēdl (as in, "the haystack") converts audio into text so radio listeners can search live content as easily as they search the web.

nēdl is a platform that allows radio listeners to use speech recognition to eliminate the need to go station-to-station for the specific news, sports, talk information, and entertainment they want to hear. In addition to searching over 120,000 domestic and international live broadcast streams that nēdl has secured, you can also search live user-generated content, as anyone can start their own live broadcast, allowing others to discover them in real-time search results as they are speaking.

The company's platform integrates seamlessly with the user's mobile applications, medical records and wearable devices to monitor vital statistics on health and activity, enabling patients to securely access, store, track, and exchange their health data with their preferred medical professionals.
