CleanFiber™ makes high-performance cellulose insulation from recycled corrugated cardboard boxes and other clean sources of high quality fiber. The company was formerly known as Ultracell Insulation and was founded by veteran cellulose installers, who wanted to see this industry thrive despite declining supplies of old newsprint (which is the primary feedstock of the industry today). CleanFibers product provides lower dust, lower contamination, and better coverage that competitive product.

No one is passionate about paperwork. Whether that's to distributors, farmers, or chefs. ToMarket brings all of the ordering, messaging, and marketing in one place for vendors and buyers can keep their hands and hearts in the foods. Because growing great food is better together.

UnVale is where the next generation of storytellers develop entire worlds of content, grow their audience, and publish the next big hit. Aspiring writers, illustrators, and animators can grow their fanbase from day one as they build the next Star Wars, Game of Thrones, or Marvel Comic Universe. While social media platforms prioritize short-form video content created by influencers, we will be the new community for creatives to do the time-consuming work of worldbuilding and story craft in public. By breaking down long-form content into easy-to-digest pieces, they can grow an audience with every release from day one. A fanbase is the most powerful tool a creator can have. Growing a following is key to successfully self-publishing your work, and it signals to publishers that what you’ve created has captured an audience’s attention. UnVale provides this growth as you develop content, making your creative process a way of being discovered–while keeping you motivated as you develop the next culture-defining story.
