Jaxon dramatically increases AI project success rates, fosters collaboration, increases staff efficiency, and continuously learns what works and when. Through R&D efforts with the U.S. Department of Defense, Jaxon has created a way of simulating model system performance and getting the design right the first time. By formalizing the AI design process, design tradeoffs are able to be explored. It allows all talent levels to quickly and easily create, test, and iterate on AI system designs without the need for extensive coding or data preparation. It uses an AI-powered ‘Fact Checker’ to address the hallucination problem and bring trust into the output of large language models (LLMs). As a pre-trained Data Science Agent, Jaxon makes decisions based on established conventions and guides users to the right design. Rather than requiring the developer to specify every detail of how the application should work, this approach makes it much easier and faster to build applications.

Less is more. It's a deceptively simple-sounding yet powerful philosophy. But when it comes to athletic apparel, nothing lives up to that ethos. It’s all more noise, more gimmicks, more waste. We’re taking a different approach. What sets us apart from the rest of the market is our simplicity and focus. Starting from minimalist, functional design principles, we strive to create thoughtful performance essentials for committed athletes. Our goal is to simplify everything so you can do anything.

The Suite Service is a company dedicated to transforming accessibility in the haircare industry. Founded on the belief that no one should have to travel 100 miles just to get their hair done, we focus on bridging the gap for communities that are often overlooked by mainstream haircare providers. We specialize in partnering with collegiate and corporate institutions located in what we call "Black hair deserts"—areas where there are few or no salons equipped to handle curly, coily, and kinky hair textures. Our mission is to make quality haircare accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live or work. By organizing on-site haircare events, sourcing experienced stylists and barbers, and managing every aspect of the appointment process, we help institutions create more inclusive environments for their community members. We’ve successfully hosted events across multiple states, earning the trust of both our institutional clients and the individuals they serve. As we continue to grow, we’re focused on expanding our reach, enhancing our services, and developing new ways to support the unique needs of our diverse client base. Our team is passionate, driven, and deeply committed to our mission. We value inclusivity, community, and the empowerment of those we serve. If you share our vision and are excited about the prospect of contributing to a company that is making a real difference, we’d love to connect with you.
