- Haloo — Navigating the trademark search and registration process can be daunting and onerous for business owners and entrepreneurs. Heirlume is the first self-serve online trademark search and registration platform that integrates sophisticated legal thinking with technology. We make the complex trademark search and registration process fast, accurate,trusted and affordable for entrepreneurs and enterprise/e-com partners. Our search tool instantly runs the country-specific legal tests (i.e., “likelihood of confusion”) and performs lawyer analysis. Intelligent search algorithms provide an at-a-glance opinion of registerability (conflicts, descriptiveness, obscenity), displayed in simple visuals. Distilling the multiple data sets involved with drafting a trademark application requires time-consuming legal analysis. Our machine learning auto-suggest trademark application builder performs the lawyer work and removes room for error. While our first go to market strategy will target SME individual users, we see huge potential in expanding our market reach through key B2B partnerships as an upsell/add-on to a domain purchase (GoDaddy), or store set-up (Shopify or Amazon). Ultimately, we believe we can make trademark registration quick, easy and affordable, similar to the experience of registering a domain.

- CodeZero — While Kubernetes is largely recognized as the de facto standard for cloud orchestration, most developers would rather not use it because of its current complexity. Tens of millions of developers rely on tens of thousands of DevOps engineers to run Kubernetes, which creates huge bottlenecks that affect all technologies using cloud tools, like AI,ML, IoT and so on. CodeZero has created a new approach to Kubernetes development that helps companies quickly establish modern development techniques. 75% of a developer’s time is spent on debugging, or 1,500 hours a year. In the US alone, $113B is spent annually on identifying and fixing product defects. CodeZero is the modern Kubernetes platform that allows teams to collaboratively develop and debug microservices locally and in-cluster. CodeZero compresses the developer feedback loop so new features are implemented, tested and released 10x faster than traditional development methods by allowing developers to debug their code without having to spend time deploying software to the cluster each time they want to test a change.

- aDolus Technology Inc. — aDolus provides a cloud platform to safeguard critical infrastructure, brokering information about ICS and IoT software and firmware. There is a $13 billion dollar industry for protecting PC endpoints, but there’s no similar ecosystem for protecting the smart devices used in industries such as energy, medical, and transportation. Multiple vendors,platforms, and geographic locations make the problem complex, yet growing threats to systems and human safety make the need for a solution urgent. Regulation is accelerating this need. With over 50 billion devices connected to the internet, the security market for IoT is projected to reach $74 billion by 2026. This creates a massive opportunity to help critical sectors secure their smart devices. We estimate the annual TAM to be $920 million for the industrial sector alone. The medical, transportation, automotive, and defense sectors present further opportunities.aDolus is the first to market with a solution to analyze and authenticate device software. Early momentum and deep industry ties have yielded a growing database of 32 million records. Our vendor-agnostic platform positions aDolus to capture this lucrative and under-served market.
