Our mission is to help more people start better startups. ODF is a program we created over four years ago to help those at the exploration stage of starting a company. So far, weve helped over 1000 companies get started and raise over $2 billion. Starting a company is really exciting, but there are so many things you need to figure out in order to actually build one. - "Who might I start my company with?" - “What might we build?” - “Who might our initial customers be?” - “Should we raise funding soon, or should we try to bootstrap in the beginning?" These and many more questions are what we refer to as the "missing pieces"—the things you need to figure out to know if starting a company is right for you and what company you should ultimately build. With ODF, we bring together 80 to 100 people who are at the very same stage as you. Theyre all exceptionally talented, and theyre all trying to figure it out together.

We're a SaaS company with emphasis on service and developing software tools. And we have a mission: to improve the happiness of scientists and the quality of their research. HappiLabs provides a service called the Virtual Lab Manager. We have PhD's for hire to help with safety and regulatory, product research, lab shopping, purchasing & ordering, and bookkeeping. Our software tools, such as the ETA Dashboard and the Lab Spending Dashboard are helping labs run more efficiently than they ever have before. Think of us as an outsourced purchasing department and/or a personal assistant for your scientists. Based in Chicago, we are a small business and slowly growing. If you're a newly funded PI, a startup, small biotech, or work with purchasing as a big pharma/biotech, you can use our help.

Small Nugget. Big Difference. We at Rebellyous (Formerly Seattle Food Tech) are on mission to make the perfect chicken nugget. We started by taking out the actual chicken and using protein-rich plant ingredients. Now, we’re developing a whole new manufacturing system that is cleaner, more efficient, and better for the people who operate it. Today, we make crispy and juicy plant-based nuggets, tenders and patties. Our heat-and-serve options are available in retail, foodservice and school cafeterias all over the US. Together, we’re changing the food system - one little nugget at a time.
