We saw two presentations on 6/2/15

 

DM Systems is a medical device original design, marketing and sales organization utilizing outsourced manufacturing to serve the medical community. Their new product, PressureAlert, is a unique new wireless wearable sensor warning device that utilizes sensors, blue tooth low energy, and WiFi signals to warn patients/nurses to avoid pressure sores and speed healing.


 

Prefense is a revolutionary new hand sanitizer that protects you from germs with just one application per day. The patented, alcohol free formula soothes and moisturizes hands while providing up to 24-hour protection.  When compared to other hand sanitizers, Prefense easily out-performs the competition. Prefense lasts up to 24 hours, while other formulas lose their effectiveness in seconds. The active ingredients in Prefense safely bond with your skin, and protect you from pathogens all day long.  Prefense is made from a patented, silica based formula that moisturizes skin instead of drying it out. Additionally, the no-mess Prefense foam is safe for the whole family.

 

Everyone appreciated the Special Interview with mavenologist Mark Achler.   Currently, Mark is co-founder and Managing Director atMath Venture Partners , a $28MM early to mid-stage digital tech fund. Since the first close of the fund in October 2014, they have invested in 14 start-ups including NowSecure, Apervita, and ThinkCERCA.

In the "Neal Gerber Nugget" by Bruce Fox.  Bruce shared information about confidentiality agreements and what happens when you make an exception for one party.  Make sure you check with Neal Gerber & Eisenberg to protect your company.

Three presenters share their business and capital request:


 

Bamm - Your personal assistant app for taking control of your day.  Predict changes in your day before they happen.  Adapt to the change automatically, easily, and on-the-fly.  Collaborate quickly with the people that need to know.


 

OFNI - Don't you hate waiting in a long line at Starbucks or a restaurant?  Find the waiting time at fast casual restaurants before you go.  OFNI enables you to skip the line and avoid those long waits.
 

Starchup was founded with a simple mission: build an innovative product that enables dry cleaning and laundry businesses to provide a better customer experience. Starchup accomplishes this through a delivery process using web and mobile technology on a platform that any cleaner can use and find value in.  Starchup already has the largest dry cleaner in Chicago as their customer.


Starchup's founders recognize that web and mobile technology will continue to improve the everyday lives of consumers. But the best way to bring that value to the consumer is not by using such technology to wipe out the businesses that know laundry service better than anyone. Instead, we aim to partner with laundries and dry cleaners to provide them the tools to remain competitive in a changing market, while at the same time perfecting the customer experience through innovative and competing service offerings.
