Enterprises are spending millions on AI. Agents are deployed. Knowledge graphs are built. And adoption across teams is still ad hoc. The reason is simple: none of it closes the execution loop. You cant drive adoption if you dont know what to measure your team on. The fix isnt more AI. Its an execution-first context model — one that knows your strategy, your marching orders, your definition of winning. Built by tech-enabled forward-deployed engineers. Measured by a behavioral suite that tells you if your team or AI agents actually did it. Thats what Zime does. We drive behavior adoption across your teams and your AI agents.

navNote is an AI-native, agentic operations platform, effectively an AI OS for retail field physical execution. Retailers spend $120B+ annually on retail IT and technology in the US, yet in-store execution still breaks down at the most basic level: delayed re-orders, missed re-stocks, empty shelves, misplaced products, and expired items. The root cause isn’t lack of tools; it’s the absence of a real-time context layer across store workflows. Static checklists and disconnected systems don’t understand what’s happening, where, or when, so critical actions happen too late or not at all. navNote replaces static workflows with a context-aware, agent-driven system. The platform spans an agentic mobile app for field teams (voice, photo, video, planogram scanning, price audits), a real-time Operations Cloud that turns daily store activity into predictive intelligence, and a native management portal that gives leaders a true “manager in your pocket” across thousands of locations. Think of navNote as a second brain for retail operations. AI agents continuously observe shelves, inventory signals, pricing, and team activity and chats, then reason and act to prevent lost sales before they happen.

Sidepocket Inc., DBA ‘Sidepocket Financial’, is a venture-backed deep-tech company and SEC-Registered Investment Advisor (‘RIA’). Theres a 7.1 trillion retirement crisis, social security is estimated to run out by 2034, and financial literacy rates are a staggering low of 16%. In 2022, the outdated investing strategies available to the 99% saw their worst performance in 100 years. Meanwhile, digital creators have become the new trusted sources for financial information—48% of Americans cite social media as their source of financial education. But, creators werent equipped with the tools, support, and strategies to absorb this important and newfound responsibility. Digital creators, akin to athletes, often experience uncertain career spans typically lasting less than a decade, inconsistent income opportunities from promotional deals, and lack access to reliable passive income streams that can outlast their careers. Sidepocket is the only Creator-first solution helping creators and their fans to achieve financial freedom safer and sooner. Sidepocket gives creators everything they need to build and secure their wealth for the long-term, empowering them to share their journey and newfound financial knowledge with their fans, unlocking new passive revenue streams that can accelerate their path to financial freedom. We believe that by empowering the modern financial educator (digital creators), Sidepocket can positively impact the financial literacy and wealth disparity crisis.
