Ocuvera

Seed Round in 2021
Ocuvera (“vision truth”) is a product development company in healthcare technology specializing in computer vision. The goal is to produce a series of solutions to apply computer vision technology to need areas in hospitals, to, over time, transform patient safety and their overall experience. Its first product, also named Ocuvera, provides acute care and other hospital care settings with a predictive algorithm that alerts appropriate care staff prior to a patient attempting to exit their bed. This alert provides the staff with approximately two minutes of warning that allows the clinical staff to intervene and prevent unattended bed exits. In turn, this should dramatically reduce in-room falls – a significant challenge for US hospitals.

LocalAnyDay

Venture Round in 2019
LocalAnyDay because my family’s business went unnoticed. They are from Hawaii. My mom is a fantastic cook, my dad is a talented artist. So after saving for years, they opened the Aloha Tea Room restaurant. Once people tasted the food and enjoyed the warm welcome of the restaurant, they came back. But getting them there was the hard part. They had daily specials to attract more customers (Get a Free Hawaiian dessert with lunch!), but they were seldom seen on the small sign outside or on their Facebook page. They kept reaching the same small number of customers. Marketing was a huge obstacle they couldn’t overcome. They didn’t have enough awareness and their restaurant closed. They are solving that problem. Visibility is what they at LocalAnyDay are bringing businesses and restaurants across the U.S. Hundreds of people told us they want easy information about location and price. No coupons. No hassle. Fun in discovering. So that’s what they built: a search engine for local specials & everyday prices in one convenient app & website.
