Liftoff is a mobile app marketing and retargeting platform which uses post-install data to run true CPA-optimized campaigns. Run mobile app marketing campaigns optimized to drive post-install events like registering or making a purchase. We are building a sustainable engine of growth for mobile app companies, by solving the problem of connecting users with the mobile apps that they will actually value.  We're tackling this by leveraging programmatic advertising and state-of-the-art machine learning.

Today, on your smartphone you have an app store where you can find a dozen apps to have food delivered to your door, but we don’t have an app store where a large enterprise, like a bank, can find an app for income verification, or where an insurance company can find an app for processing claims. Every such application is custom built. We should wonder — why? The desktop computer is an important interface for business applications. Problem is, it wasn’t built to perform modern business operations. The problem lies in the operating system. Where Android and iOS were designed to allow applications to interact with one another, desktop computing simply wasn’t. This means that operations such as deal analysis and loan processing, which toggle between human data and computer data, can’t be performed without the assistance of a human being. It’s not only inefficient for businesses but utterly uninspiring for workers. Instabase is on a mission to fix that: to rethink the way we use apps and the way those apps work together to improve business processes and empower innovators to solve problems on a larger scale.

Our goal is to revolutionize the business economy by evolving how funding flows. Today, we combine cutting-edge machine learning and data science technologies with outstanding design and top-notch user support that earns rave reviews from our thousands of happy customers.

bluerivert.com We use computer vision to identify weeds in organic crop fields and then selectively eliminate them using very hot organic oil. Our product mounts behind a tractor. We are an alternative to chemical fertilizers which organic farmers can't use. Our first target is organic vegetables growers who currently spend upto $1000 per acre to weed their fields by hand. Longer term will move to weeding of corn in glyphosate resistant areas. $25B/yr are spent in herbicides. Update: 5/13. We've started recurring revenue in lettuce thinning - an application that is very well suited to our technology. Our first customer is the largest lettuce grower in the world. Out team has now 15 people including 4 PhDs, an agronomist, and experienced business people in the Ag-tech area.

We are building the next generation of voice AI and LLM platforms: - It is on-device - It runs anywhere, from Arduino to web browsers - It beats FAANG in accuracy, latency, and reliability

As population continues to age, there is a growing demand for motor rehabilitation services. The problem is that the way we address this growth or rehabilitation services (physical therapy) has not changed in thirty years because we are still heavily reliant on a one-to-one patient therapist interaction which is costly, non scalable, and difficult to ensure consistent quality. At SWORD Health, we saw the opportunity to take a truly disruptive and transformative approach to this problem by creating the first digital therapy solution that addresses the growing demand for therapy while reducing costs, empowering patients with their recovery to ultimately recover faster, and providing a rich source of data for clinical teams and decision makers.
