Grow Clean was founded at the height of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic to meet the investment needs of risk-averse family offices, asset managers, and endowments who seek double-bottom-line impact returns. To achieve double bottom line returns, Grow Clean manages a tax-efficient diversified portfolio of Organic non-GMO farmland real estate in the USA. Grow Clean created a new asset class designed for impact investors called S.O.I.L - Sustainable Organic Investment Land. When managed efficiently, the S.O.I.L. asset yields both short-term cash flow from Organic farmland leases and long-term asset value from appreciation of the Organic farmland. The Grow Clean philosophy is to add, not subtract. While our investors reap rewards from preferred investment economics, nature and society benefit from the sustainable regenerative Organic farmland stewardship service provided by Grow Clean. The management and stewardship service provided by Grow Clean includes farmland search, evaluation, due diligence, acquisition, leasing, and USDA certified Organic conversion. Our 2020 vision is to convert 20% of USA farmland to Organic in 20 years. Join us and help change the world!

IndustrialML is an award-winning enterprise software company serving industrial customers. We build the tools required to keep your production lines running. To maximize uptime and reduce scrap, factory operators must know in real time when and where errors occur. However, industries reliant on visual inspection and legacy controllers remain underserved by IIoT platforms. Existing industrial data platforms cannot integrate the latest advances in machine vision and streaming data analytics, and most analysis tools are designed for use by specialists like data scientists. The IndustrialML platform bridges data from multiple disparate sources, enabling deeper context into production status. We integrate real time monitoring, machine vision, and advanced analytics applications to deliver actionable insights to operators and engineers. We make factories smarter with machine learning.

Cincinnati Incorporated (CI) and New Valence Robotics Corporation (“NVBOTS”) announced in November 2017 the closing of CI’s acquisition of NVBOTS. CI partnered with NVBOTS as a value-added reseller in 2016 to complement BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing), its large-scale additive machine tool solution. The NVBOTS small-scale 3D printer, NVPro rebranded as SAAM (Small Area Additive Manufacturing), offers large-scale designers a “print preview” for large prints and also penetrates new market segments outside the scope of BAAM. Our Vision is a future where anyone can make any part, in any material, any time, anywhere. Our Mission is to make 3D printing, in any material, as easy as paper printing. Founded by a team of MIT engineers and based in Boston, New Valence Robotics® (NVBOTS) provides enterprise 3D printing solutions that deliver high throughput production of parts in a wide range of materials for any application. Our first product shipped in 2016. The NVPro – an automated 3D printing solution – is Built to Share™. It offers the first automated part ejection in the industry, and is paired with NVCloud software that allows users to print parts anytime, from any device – while providing administrators with full control of print queues and workflows typical in a shared-use scenario. The NVPro is uniquely suited for continuous 24-7 operation in multi-user environments and production 3D printing environments. Organizations including global manufacturing businesses and local independent schools use our solution to easily 3D print any geometry, from anywhere, at any time.
