Health Hero is modern health engagement. We have a novel approach to this - the outreach adapts & people get rewarded for their behavior. We’ve launched and have happy paying customers and are growing quickly. We help people become healthier Ex. We reduce patient readmissions by at least 30% using automated calls & texts. The problem we are solving is significant. Legislation is driving a $3.5 trillion+ healthcare shift by 2022, one from a service-based model to one that is value-based. Patient follow-up demands a new scalable & empathetic service that addresses social determinants of health - mainly financing one’s healthcare.

Vision: be the global leader in live music for events.
Mission: to make it easy for anybody to book live music for any event. To support and promote live music.
Problem:
For customers: music plays a vital part in creating memorable moments in our lives. Discovering the best live music to create those memories should be easy and enjoyable. Many people have their live music quest cut short and settle for less, or none, due to the rabbit warren that is the current live music booking landscape. There isn’t one place where people can discover and book live music to create unforgettable memories.
For musicians:
Most musicians love to perform and entertain. They play a myriad of styles and instruments and want to share it with the world. Being able to put these talents out to the masses should be easy. There is no platform or place specifically designed with all the tools musicians need to be seen, heard and booked.
Solution: an online marketplace for live music:
- Open access to videos, prices and reviews of bands and DJs available on a customer's event date.
- Real-time availability of bands and DJs
- Live performance video content for online appraisal
- Communicate directly with each band or DJ through online chat
- Pay a deposit online to confirm the band or DJ
- Subscription service for bands and DJs to generate leads and bookings through Tremolo. Includes:
- List multiple bookable packages
- Unique and world-first “2-Click Bookings" system
- Part of the biggest marketing campaign for bands and DJs in the wedding industry
- Live video production services to improve bookability
- Social media growth services to improve social proof
Traction since completing the Second Law Accelerator in June 2017:
- Customer list of +500 emails
- Validation conversations and user testing with over 100 participants
- Over 30 bands and DJs currently listed to sign on
- Received initial seed investment
