Substack is much more than a newsletter platform. A Substack is an all-encompassing publication that accommodates text, video, audio, and video. No tech knowledge is required. Anyone can start a Substack and publish posts directly to subscribers’ inboxes—in email and in the Substack app. Without ads or gatekeepers in the way, you can sustain a direct relationship with your audience and retain full control over your creative work.

Aftershoot is the fastest and easiest way for photographers to select, rate, and edit their photos automatically. Many photographers take hundreds or even thousands of photos in a day’s work. Selecting photos one-by-one to find the best of the series and removing duplicates, blinks, blurred pictures, or images with poor composition is usually the most monotonous, tedious, and time-consuming part of the workflow. Once those perfect photos have been selected, Aftershoot edits the images in the user's style in a matter of minutes, eliminating the need for thousands of tiny adjustments during the editing process. Aftershoot saves photographers hundred of hours of painstaking culling and editing. By automating the post-shoot workflow of photographers, they get spare time to focus on what really matters - engaging with clients, building portfolios, and recharging away from the computer.

In an increasingly digital world, MemoryWell is solving a growing list of healthcare’s most challenging engagement problems with an unexpected solution: Empathetic, human interaction. Our solutions make the person the center of healthcare. MemoryWell delivers dramatic increases in satisfaction and retention. And our rich, person-centered dialogs yield the most accurate SDOH and HRA data available. MemoryWell grew out of the experience our founder, Jay Newton-Small, had caregiving for her father, who had Alzheimer's. When she moved him into a senior community, she was asked to fill out a long questionnaire about his life. This made no sense: who would remember pages of hand-written data points for 100+ residents in that community? Instead, as a longtime TIME Magazine correspondent, she wrote his story for his caregivers and pasted it on the walls throughout the community. It transformed his care. Two of his caregivers were Ethiopian and they'd had no idea Jay’s father, Graham, had lived in Ethiopia for years early on in his career with the United Nations. They became his champions, sitting for hours asking him about what it was like to work with Emperor Haile Selassie. Seeing the impact her story had on her father’s experience was enough to influence Jay to transition from her role at TIME to launch MemoryWell. In addition to the life stories product, MemoryWell has leveraged insights and journalistic engagement to reduce churn in Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage churn averages 10% and is as high as 40% during the first 90 days. Enrollees have grown numb to automated texts and robocalls, resulting in expensive data gaps. MemoryWell provides human-to-human engagement that resolves these problems with skillful conversation, relationship building, and education.
