Toffee Ride is specifically designed for Classes I-IV and contains more than 800 + lessons and 6000 + activities, which provide comprehensive coverage of English, Maths, EVS, GK, Social Studies, and Life Skills. Our Vision: “Making premium education affordable”The level of personalized attention required during the formative years is lacking in most schools, except for a few premium ones. Moreover, most parents, especially working professionals, often find it difficult to find time to compliment their kids learning in school. A rather serious implication of this is that children whose development lag behind during their early years find it very difficult to catch up in their higher classes. Through Toffee Ride, we attempt to bridge this gap using technology as an enabler to provide the much-needed personal attention in early learning.

- Ribin — Ribin (pronounced "ribbon") is currently operating in stealth mode. The company is on a mission to democratise college sports recruiting. There are 45 million youth athletes in the U.S. and over $4 billon worth of sports scholarships are handed out every year to youth athletes. That number continues to increase every year as collegesports become more popular/televised than some professional sports in America. The problem is there is no centralised database with normalised scouting reports for athletes and scouts; there's no place (like LinkedIn) for them to meet. Ribin's platform seeks to solve this problem. The company was founded in 2021 by ex-SaaS developers/execs who are also former NCAA athletes. The founders have successfully exited 2 companies and have over 18 years of combined experienced working at SaaS and sports-related software companies.

- Pirate Studios — Pirate Studios apart from a lot of existing rehearsal rooms and music production and recording studios, is that the startup is employing a lot of tech to power the logistics around its service and, in theory, make it a lot more scalable. This includes online booking, 24 hour keycode access, and other IoT controls for managing facilities.PirateStudios offers “automated recording” and live streaming from many of its studios. This means that bands or DJs rehearsing in one of the company’s rooms can easily record their session via built in room mics and other inputs, and the studio’s cloud software will handle mixing and mastering afterwards. Likewise, rooms are set up to be able to video and audio stream sessions, too.Both options tap into the YouTube, SoundCloud, and Spotify generation’s unstoppable appetite for more content from their favourite upcoming and established acts, as well as the dreaded music industry’s favourite new metric: how much social media reach an act has, which can in turn make or break a recording contract opportunity or the chance to get booked at larger, more lucrative live events.
