Twice a year, we search for 4-6 of the best sports/esports startups in the world; invest $100K into each; drop the founders into a7-session/14-week business development bootcamp; surround the founders with rockstar business mentors; and introduce them to as many potential clients in our network as physically possible. In four years, we're entering our 10th cohort; we have 40 companies in our portfolio; and we already have 5 exits (INFCLR from Fall 2018 to Teamworks; Rival.ai from Fall 2018 to Wondr Gaming; Upgraded from Spring 2017 to Ticketmaster; Fishidy from Fall 2015 to FLIR Systems; Winning Identity from Fall 2015 to Blast Motion). And, our portfolio companies have gone on to raise over $53M.

The platform provides visual and/or auditory feedback of physiological signals to supportrelaxation training and self-regulation. Clinicians need non-pharmacological tools patients can use themselves — and they need to see whether those tools are working. Healium translates signals from any wearable, including EEG, heart rate, and skin conductance, into immersive visuals that respond in real time, making self-regulation visible rather than abstract. Healium’s research spans 10 peer-reviewed studies published across numerous journals, among them Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Frontiers in Psychology, Frontiers in Virtual Reality, and the Journal of Neuroregulation. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that a four-minute Healium experience reduced anxiety, as measured by quantitative EEG. Research published in the Journal of Neuroregulation showed positive shifts in mood states following Healium use. Healium supports self-management of anxiety, mood, stress, sleep, focus, and pain as part of a healthy lifestyle. Healium is used at Mayo Clinic and deployed across numerous VA facilities, hospitals, behavioral health clinics, pain programs, and U.S. Department of Defense programs.
