Bristles is a startup based in Durham, North Carolina. Our mission is to build creativity-enabling products that harness the insight of artificial intelligence to deliver powerful functionality as delightful, easy-to-use tools for visualizing ideas. Because sometimes, words arent enough. We’re inspired by a classic creative tool: the paintbrush. It enables the artist to focus on illustrating their creative vision. All the while, thousands of tiny bristles are working to apply paint evenly and smoothly. In our products, we pack the power into the bristles, so you can focus on the rewarding, creative bits of your work. Our first product is a mobile app for designing home DIY & upcycling projects. These transformations are massive creative undertakings, so were empowering DIYers and Upcyclers to visualize, build on, and share their ideas.

Social Cascade is a for-benefit organization building healthy communities through awareness & empathy. Our innovative technology empowers trusted community voices to deliver critical information to parents and caregivers.

The Rohan Rajeev Foundation (RRF) is dedicated to preventing avoidable tragedies through heart health education and CPR training, inspired by the story of Rohan Rajeev. We envision a world where everyone is prepared to act in a cardiac emergency, saving lives through prompt action. Our mission comes to life through three key areas: 1. Life-saving CPR Training: We provide CPR and emergency response training to communities, empowering individuals with the skills to save lives when every second counts. We also identify need and facilitate availability of AEDs in public settings. 2. Heart Health Awareness Campaigns: We educate communities about heart health risks, prevention strategies, and the importance of quick intervention, creating a proactive approach to health and safety. 3. Scholarships for Future Health Leaders: To honor Rohans memory, we fund the need-based GATE Scholarship at the Fuqua School of Business (Duke University), fostering a new generation dedicated to making a difference. By increasing public readiness, supporting health education, and equipping future leaders, we’re creating lasting change that touches lives across generations. Join us—whether by learning CPR, sharing our message, or supporting our initiatives—to help us create hope, elevate lives, and safeguard the future
