CommonEdits, Inc. is a technology company that specializes in open source music production and distribution. Through our proprietary platform artists can create and sell new music and merchandise while we take care of licensing, publishing, and digital distribution. This provides independent artists a path to financial success and allows them to focus on making music. Ever since Napster paved the way for the iPod the physical limitations for global distributions have dwindled to practically nothing. We are reaching a tipping point where independent artists no longer see signing a deal with major record as a necessity since they can reach their audience themselves. CommonEdits lowers the cost, and thus the barrier of entry, to having marketable music and merchandise.

Our families today can often include traveling parents, military members and distant relatives. One of the hardest things to bear when separated from your child or young relative can be the lack of engagement and connection with them. That engagement while learning can be crucial for a child's educational foundational and the connection that is fostered can have an enormous effect on a child's psychological development. Most turn to phone or webcam conversations to connect but a five year old child has the average attention span of 5 minutes which means very little substance and meaningful moments. Now using the latest face-tracking technology we seamlessly transform the normal video chat into a fun and interactive gaming environment that will keep both parties entertained for hours. Kinskii is changing the way you connect with the child in your life regardless of distance. Bring play and learning into your conversations and you can create memories like never before!

Prepify is making high-end, adaptive, online SAT prep free for students anywhere by charging universities for personal introductions to top admissions candidates on the platform. Thousands of SAT-takers each year can't afford test prep. Millions write off college altogether, unaware of the big need-based scholarships most top schools offer. And colleges still struggle to recruit more than ten percent of their classes from low-income families. It isn't news that the colleges are failing at finding socioeconomically diverse applicants. What's news is that we can change that.
