HELLO we’re Berri Organics® (formerly Berri Pro Inc.)
Our mission is to provide the best organic, plant-based nutrition for individuals and families worldwide! We believe that good health begins with what you put into your body and when you eat better, you feel better. It’s that simple.
Berri Organics is a mission-based company in Santa Monica that is out to rewrite the rules of healthy hydration. The mission is quite simple: equip health-conscious people with delicious, naturally-sourced beverages that refresh, reinvigorate and renew – and do our part to help people in need along the way.
It all started with a college athlete at the top of his game. Then a diagnosis of cancer stopped him in his tracks. Undaunted, he sought treatment, changed his diet to organic and plant-based diet, beat the disease, and came out of it all with a new lease on life. And along the journey, his perspective changed. He emerged with a conviction to help others avoid the chemical assault that most performance products offered. Nature offered inspiration as well as an abundance of fresh ways to deliver the benefits we all need. The Berri Organics mission is born.
Berri Organics was founded by Jerome Tse, a cancer survivor who was recently awarded with Forbes’ 30 Under 30 recognition.

We are an Abu-Dhabi born startup pioneering the future of urban temperature intelligence and advisory by building an AI to cool down cities. Our advanced platform is transforming granular heat data into actionable insights for a diverse range of decision makers and enterprise applications. All this will be made possible by introducing the world’s first ever Temperature Operating System “tOS”; an AI engine that hosts a collection of our aptly named ‘Large Temperature Models’ and serves as the backbone of our product suite all underpinned by our well-articulated Temperature as a Service (TaaS) business model. Join us in shaping cooler, more livable cities for tomorrow.
We are currently building out a host of products including:
- The Temperature Dashboard® is made for decision makers in various heat-sensitive functions such as urban planners, real estate managers, and public health officials. The dashboard provides bespoke analysis, visualizations, insights, and actionable recommendations that are hyper-applicable and digestible even for those with zero technical expertise.
- The Temperature API® is created for enterprise clients such as Data Centers, GIS operators, and logistics companies who require high volumes of data processing and custom built features. Our API platform will help clients make smarter choices such as optimized routing or resource use.
There are currently no effective alternatives to our offerings due to high startup costs, lack of suitable data, and poor technical understanding of urban heat. FortyGuard has already begun servicing this void in the US with the support of numerous technology partners such as Nvidia and others.
Extreme heat affects livability and brings economic losses to banking, EV, and energy sectors. Both public and private sectors urgently need to understand and address urban heat. FortyGuard will lead this effort, providing tools for impactful change, ensuring cities become safer, smarter, and more sustainable.

Con la llegada de la primavera, florecen los sentidos. El olor y el color de la cocina, preparan el paladar para una explosión de sabores y texturas que hacen de cada bocado un momento único. En Joli nos inspiramos en el festival de los sentidos, en donde cada ingrediente está pensado cuidadosamente para hacer una verdadera fiesta del color, sabor y olor.
En Joli creemos que los alimentos trascienden barreras, tiene su propio lenguaje y permiten explorar el mundo a través de los sentidos. Creemos que cada preparación cuenta una historia, resume una idea y genera una experiencia inigualable en quien se deleita cuando la prueba. Creemos que cada cliente es único y ve el mundo desde su propia perspectiva, creando así verdaderas obras de arte con nuestros productos. Creemos en Joli, creemos en ti.
