Flutter

The anticipation and excitement of expecting a child have increasingly been diminished by the stress of finding accessible, quality childcare. With no uniform situation or system, navigating childcare has become overwhelming and stressful for parents & guardians. Options vary from family, friends, nannies, in-home daycare & centers. There is no single platform to aid families. We are Flutter, an aggregate marketplace that balances a family’s constraints (time, money, & location) with all their available childcare options. Through flexible schedule building Flutter allows parents and guardians to have all their childcare options in one organized place.

ERID Venture Project 2019

ERID’s H2x reduces residential water consumption through a single-point source greywater system for single family homes. Approaching both the new home and residential remodel sectors, we will focus initially on California in order to capitalize on opportunities for scale and market concentration. H2x is an innovative Laundry to Landscape (L2L) greywater system, which incorporates particle filtration, removal of excess salts, and other chemical compounds; as well as water quality testing and monitoring to allow users to safely redirect waste water from home washers to become a source of irrigation for lawns, gardens, and green spaces. The growth rate of water prices in the US is increasing faster than the rate of inflation (1.9%, USA 2018), making water utility costs for single family homes a pressing issue. Access, distribution, and consistent availability of freshwater is also putting pressure on municipalities to incorporate water consumption reduction and water reuse into their short and medium range pla…

Level Up

The workforce is becoming more diverse than ever, yet our workplace culture is failing to keep up. Proactive, values-driven and “trailblazing” HR professionals hungrily seek specialized trainings to tackle cultural change, but might never find the perfect lead or word-of-mouth recommendation. Meanwhile, talented trainers have the right message but can’t connect with potential customers. In a market dominated by corporate training companies, these independent entrepreneurs struggle for new business. In an industry first, we match Trailblazers with Trainers, creating partnerships to spark and sustain real change. Level Up grants access for Trailblazers and empowers them with the right tools to create truly diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces. Our Trainers grow their businesses and promote trainings on race, inclusion, equity, harassment and gender identity in ways that are dynamic, interactive and intersectional. We focus on Trailblazers in the non-profit sector (as well as B-corps and social enterpri…

Dough is a digital platform that introduces Millennials to the stock market by connecting them to activities and experiences they desire while enabling them to match an additional percentage of current purchases into an investment account. Dough members are encouraged to think about earning more rather than spending less. They earn more through investing in a blend of exchange traded funds (ETFs) that match their risk aversion. They visualize compound interest and the opportunity cost of keeping their savings in the bank. An investing platform with an experiential focus, Dough emphasizes action over education by aligning spontaneous purchases with regular additions to fund the future.

ANDA

Anda is the first and only city-curated rental wardrobes for travelers. These are the essentials based on city style and trends - items every woman should have in her closet, no matter where she is. Anda offers a greater ability to be spontaneous in travel, with less to pack by delivering items to the destination, the convenience and sustainability of renting on the road, trying something new and luxurious, and local style expertise. Packing and unpacking are serious chores. It’s hard to decide what to pack, fit into a bag, and things get wrinkled. Then there’s the whole airport process of lugging around a heavy bag, endlessly waiting in lines, and paying baggage fees. Anda gives the freedom and confidence about what’s needed in a different city – and avoiding all the other headaches. Millenials are fully embracing the shared economy and not feeling the need to own things, which often means contributing to a more sustainable society - something lacking in this fast-fashion driven world. Aside from the soci…
