Here at MegaCorp, we work with customers from all industries with different shipping needs. Some of our clients ship one truckload a month, others ship hundreds of truckloads a week. We have the feel of a family-owned company (we are family-owned and consider our team the MegaFamily!) with the resources of a large corporation. Our unique Corp model has a small team of people working on your account so there is always someone available that is well-versed in your shipping needs and requirements. We have been chosen to work with many Fortune 500 companies and named as a Top 30 Logistics Provider.

Iterative Health is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence-based precision medicine in gastroenterology (GI), with the aim of helping to optimize clinical trials investigating treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use advanced machine learning and computer vision to interpret endoscopic images along with other types of data, helping clinicians to better assess patients with potential GI problems. This gives practitioners enhanced capabilities in the detection, annotation, disease scoring and treatment of GI related diseases. Iterative Health is initially applying these advances towards standardizing disease severity characterization for inflammatory bowel disease. Ultimately, the company aims to establish more meaningful endpoints to serve as better predictors of both therapeutic response and disease outcomes. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

About our tech: With over 50 patents, ANELLO uses Silicon Photonics to dramatically reduce the size, weight, and power (+cost) of the fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) typically required in submarines and large aircraft for measuring the most precise system balance for navigation. We call this new version of a FOG, a SiPhOG. We're building self-contained navigation systems (IMU&INS) with our SiPhOGs at a fraction of the size, weight, cost, and power of FOGs. We're bringing the navigation precision in GPS-denied environments that submarines have to autonomous devices for any use case (air, land, sea). Our products are dual use for commercial and defense customers. We are a profitable Series-B start-up shipping product for just the past 2.5 years, just 40 ppl. Our company culture is very collaborative and allows for the ability to own and contribute on multiple NPI products, while leaning more into other areas of technical interest. We have multiple products heading into high-volume production, with additional products at earlier stages of the lifecycle (including concept mode). We're backed by powerhouse companies like In-Q-Tel, Lockheed, and MESH. There is great interest in our technology and in a short time have strong revenue and designed into into many autonomous platforms in dynamic segments like Autonomous Maritime and Aerial, Construction/Mining, AgTech, Robotics. We have a very collaborative culture that promotes learning and innovation + we believe there is significant financial equity upside here given our revenue trajectory.

Mad Consulting helps larger firms find specialized talent through thoughtful, targeted recruiting. With a background in HR and talent development, I look beyond qualifications to connect business needs with people who can contribute, thrive, and grow. Clear communication. Meaningful connections. Recruiting that feels human. A little unconventional. Very intentional.

ReviewMyCoach is building the trust layer for sports. Every year, millions of athletes and parents choose teams, clubs, and programs based almost entirely on word of mouth, reputation, or limited information. Coaching quality plays one of the biggest roles in an athlete’s development, yet there is currently no centralized, transparent way to evaluate coaches across youth, high school, and college sports. We are solving this by creating a platform where athletes can leave reviews and feedback on their coaches—similar to RateMyProfessors, but built specifically for sports. The goal is to bring accountability, transparency, and better decision-making into the athlete development and recruiting process. The product is already live with a working website, an initial database of ~50,000 coaches, and early users and reviews on the platform. We are currently in the early-stage growth phase, focused on improving the product, expanding the dataset, and driving user adoption. Long term, ReviewMyCoach aims to become the standard platform athletes use when choosing coaches, teams, and programs—while also providing value to organizations, recruiters, and the broader sports ecosystem. This includes potential expansion into recruiting tools, premium insights, and data-driven decision-making for athletes and families. We are building in a massive, underserved market with no dominant player, and the opportunity to define an entirely new category within sports technology.
