Like many Texans, we were conceived in the back of a truck.
Co-founders Brian Murphy and Quentin Cantu started out peddling health-conscious lunch staples in a food truck in Austin, Texas in 2017. Their best customers wanted to drink, and they wanted to drink with ‘em. So, they made us all some drinks.
Ranch Rider canned seltzers are made with reposado tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, and premium vodka sourced in Texas. We have a few cans to choose from - each made with premium spirits, sparkling water, and fresh citrus. Each 12-ounce can is gluten-free, under 123 calories, contains 5.99% alcohol by volume, and fewer than two grams of sugar.

Envel is a Harvard-founded financial technology company that leverages AI and behavioral science to optimize people’s finances in real-time and automate their budgeting, savings, and investments. Funded by the MIT Sandbox Program, angel investors, and crowdfunding, we are on a mission to make banking and investing easier and more simple for tens of millions of people.
We believe that the consumer banking system is broken and no longer focuses on serving its customers' financial health. Traditional banks profit from charging lots of fees and getting you indebted and don’t offer you the freedom or advice to help organize and manage your money in a way that helps you. Envel has reinvented banking from the ground up by building a one-stop Autonomous banking app with Autopilot to organize your money automatically for you with little effort, powered by our patent-pending AI.
Envel is constantly innovating and disrupting the banking world, with a 2022 roadmap that includes fractional investments, joint accounts, family accounts, and a cryptocurrency stable coin integration. Using a community-centric approach, Envel works with users to engineer new features that best meet their needs, prioritizing consumers financial health over profit.

Quadrant Biosciences is an epigenetic diagnostics company with a focus on the early detection of neurological disorders and other large-scale health issues. Revolutionary advancements in the early detection of autism spectrum disorder, Parkinson’s disease, and mTBI, through the application of the Clarifi® epigenetic diagnostic platform, could have a significant impact on the way clinicians approach the diagnosis and treatment of these serious conditions.
In March 2020, we made the decision to pivot and allocate some of our resources to directly address the pandemic. By leveraging our expertise in RNA analysis, we have been able to be part of three exciting COVID-19 projects to aid in the detection of COVID-19 in individuals and communities across the U.S.
In September 2020, The Clarifi COVID-19 Test Kit obtained Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used for the diagnosis fo SARS-CoV-2.
