Vyng has built a next-generation phone platform that visualizes every call. Vyng is an LA-based company that transforms how conversations start on mobile by bringing emotion to the lockscreen. Vyng’s app lets users set videos as ringtones for friends, playing a fresh video on the lockscreen with every call. Vyng boasts 3 Billion videos played across 170 countries since its launch in 2017. The company is backed by March Capital, Omidyar Network, a Google Ventures partner, and the founders of Giphy and GroupMe. Check out this video at the 9 minute mark to see us win big $$: https://bit.ly/2PmU2fj What We're Building With over 5 million downloads, Vyng transforms a user’s caller ID into a video chosen by either the user or the incoming caller. The Vyng phone dialer replacement allows users to create their own Vyngtone or caller ID, or choose from a curated library of videos arranged by interest channels. The company has three current patents for its proprietary technology delivering video through calls and contextual texting. Mobile notifications, including incoming phone calls, have long been relegated to a generic, sterile design that lacks creativity. Believing in the untapped potential of lockscreens, Vyng facilitates the quickest, most impactful way to communicate through the delivery of a video to the lockscreen of a device. Since Vyng’s launch of Vyngtones last year, it has served over three billion videos in 170 countries and is driving engagement in regions like South Asia and North Africa where smartphone adoption continues to grow rapidly.

Third Pole, Inc. is a US-based company developing next generation life-saving cardiopulmonary therapies. We are building on our team’s legacy in inhaled nitric oxide (NO), the current standard of care, to develop next generation life-saving heart and lung therapies. Our first product is being designed to be a simple, convenient, economical, and lightweight device capable of generating nitric oxide from air on-demand and on-site which potentially eliminates the need for large compressed gas cylinders. We believe our novel approach of creating NO on demand has the promise to create new markets by enabling the worldwide use of inhaled NO in settings outside of acute care.

EASE Logistics is a multi-operational supply chain and transportation solution. We provide accelerated, innovative services that help deliver the products and goods of select clients by means of a highly effective global network. Our knowledgeable professionals simplify the logistics experience with our unique and unmatched customer service model. Our Story: In 2014, Peter Coratola used his talent, experience and passion to make a lasting impact in the logistics industry, despite the industry’s long-unchanged fundamental issues. By June 2014, Peter gathered the beginnings of the Ease team, people (along with three phones and three computers) who shared his vision for the company’s potential to improve the status quo. The initial team steadily expanded itself and the customer list while setting the high standard for customer service that has allowed Ease to grow to where it is today. In fall 2017, Ease moved to its current Dublin, OH location. With nearly 10 times the space and a steadily increasing volume, the new office was built and designed for imminent continued growth. With a heavy focus on state of the art technology, software, and data analytics to further separate Ease from the typical brokerage, we continue to drive together toward a bright future. Our Service Model: Our unique service model allows customers to seamlessly engage an entire logistics team, 24/7, with the click of a finger. Account managers work with customers to help cut costs and minimize risks. Client services work alongside you to efficiently plan and schedule with your suppliers and customers. Logistics coordinators work for you by ensuring every detail is covered. Each team works tirelessly together to make sure every need is addressed efficiently and effectively, so you can reclaim your time. RECOGNITION: - 5x Inc. 5000 Company (Inc.
