NuLabel
Seed Round in 2009
NuLabel Technologies is a polymer science and engineering company specializing in innovative labeling and packaging solutions aimed at reducing costs and waste for businesses. Founded in 2009 and based in East Providence, Rhode Island, NuLabel has developed patented adhesive technologies and patent-pending hardware that utilize activatable adhesives. These adhesives eliminate the need for traditional non-stick liner backing on labels and the use of messy wet glue in product packaging. By pre-coating the adhesive on a thermal substrate and activating it with a water-based, glue-free fluid immediately before application, NuLabel offers a more efficient labeling process for the packaging industry.
Minds in Motion Electronics (MiME)
Seed Round in 2009
MiME integrates an electroencephalography (EEG) headset into entertainment and gaming products. Users directly interact with games by actively controlling their concentration and/or meditative levels. For example; imagine two players sitting on either side of a table with a ball in the middle. A mental tug of war occurs as players battle to push the ball back and forth across the table by focusing their concentration. MiME aims to bridge the gap between the mental and physical to introduce a new generation of hyper-immersive gaming. MiME’s hardware and software combination provide a low cost, low specificity application that can be licensed to OEMS, toy manufacturers, and gaming developers. MiME’s team is composed of five Brown University graduates with biological sciences, computer science and business development experience. They have partnerships with RISD industrial design students and biomedical and electrical engineers from Cornell and Olin Universities. With a wide range of advisors and consultants, MiME has the experience and expertise at its fingertips to transform its ideas into reality.
Expedit.us
Seed Round in 2009
Despite the fact that location-based services are becoming ubiquitous, today's online maps are stuck in a one-size-fits-all model of the world. Computers give us directions in an entirely different way than humans do. Expedit.us thinks this is a design problem as much as a technological one. They are working on a few ideas that will enhance the navigation experience, helping people find their destination more easily and with greater confidence.
WeOwe
Seed Round in 2009
WeOwe provides a simple, fun way to connect with an extended network of friends and family to help reduce student debt. With the skyrocketing costs of higher education, students are forced into accumulating a significant amount of debt in order to earn their degrees. At the same time, debt holders receive a large number of gifts from family and friends during significant life events such as graduations, birthdays, holidays, etc. WeOwe allows traditional gift-givers to funnel their generosity towards the payment of student debt through the removal of the discomfort associated with cash giving and by leveraging existing online payment technologies to facilitate micro-payments from a large number of family and friends. WeOwe makes it easy for student loan holders to be free of debt earlier, and provides a fun and meaningful rich media experience for friends and family members to maximize the utility of their gifts while contributing to a meaningful cause.
