We help brands drive sales lift with automated rewards powered by real time fandom.
Our system connects Shopify and other commerce platforms to live sports data and personalizes “Fan Bonuses,” where shoppers can win bonus credit back on purchases by making a 50/50 prediction tied to the next biggest sports moment. “Biggest” varies by fan, so we personalize offers.
It’s a win win. Shoppers get the chance to win bonus credit at no added cost by making predictions tied to the content they love. Brands get bigger purchases and swap discounts for bonuses that bring shoppers back.
Customers include JLab, CardVault by Tom Brady, 500 Level, AllCity Network, and more.

CollX helps answer one of the most basic questions that any collector has: “What’s this worth?”
The mobile app, initially for iOS and Android, enables users to take a picture of a collectible, identify it, and get the current market value. CollX is launching with support for baseball cards, followed shortly by all sports cards, trading card games like Magic and Pokemon, and soon comics and other collectibles.
Once an item is added to your collection, you can track that item’s value over time, just as you can your overall portfolio. More importantly, you can buy and sell any collectible with full transparency into the counterpartys collection, offering an unprecedented ability to create ad-hoc lots, trade, and more.

CookNSolo is the trailblazing and nationally beloved hospitality group from chef Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook, champions of Israels extraordinarily diverse and vibrant culinary landscape. Together, Mike and Steve have been awarded three James Beard Foundation Awards, with Mike awarded two additional Beard Awards for his work as Chef of Zahav, which includes "Outstanding Chef", 2017. Zahav, their restaurant that put the rich melting pot of Israeli cuisine at the forefront of dining in America today, became in 2019 the first Israeli and first Philadelphia restaurant to win the James Beard "Outstanding Restaurant" Award. In 2018, Zahav was recognized by Food & Wine Magazine as one of "The 40 Most Important Restaurants of the Past 40 Years". In addition to Zahav, their restaurants are Federal Donuts – the hometown hero donut, fried chicken, and coffee shop which they co-own with three longtime partners; Dizengoff – an authentic Israeli-style hummusiya; Abe Fisher – serving contemporary twists on old-world Ashkenazi Jewish cooking; Goldie – a vegan and Kosher falafel shop; K’Far – an Israeli bakery and café named for Solomonov’s hometown just outside of Tel Aviv; Merkaz – an Israeli pita sandwich shop and cafe; and Laser Wolf, an Israeli skewer house (shipudiya). After a bold and exciting 5 week opening pre-pandemic, Laser Wolf was named a GQ Magazine "Best New Restaurant in America", 2020. And, because the restaurant biz lends so much extra time, Mike and Steve have co-authored three highly acclaimed cookbooks — Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking, Federal Donuts: The (Partially) True Spectacular Story, and Israeli Soul: Easy, Essential, Delicious.
