ZenSpace is the industry pioneer in fully automated, technology-enabled meeting spaces for on-the-go business people. We are the first company to combine a technology platform, mobile app and convenient meeting pods to create a “smart pod” - a highly flexible, on-demand system and IoT-enabled space for conducting business and/or private meetings. As such, we are expanding and evolving the fast-growing SPaaS (SPace as a Service) market.
We address one of the key pain points cited by people who are away from their office – a convenient, private, quality location to conduct business. We provide traveling employees, event/conference attendees, entrepreneurs, freelancers and participants in the gig economy with private, technology-enabled meeting spaces they can reserve for use, and automatically pay for, in 1-hour time increments.
The ZenSpace SmartPod combines a small meeting “pod” with a micro-leasing mobile/web app that enables on-demand scheduling. ZenSpace SmartPods are ideal for any venue or public space where there is a high concentration of business people and a lack of available private meeting space.
Each SmartPod contains a full array of technology to facilitate work and business meetings, including:
- WiFi Internet connectivity
- Power and USB ports
- Display monitor
- Lighting and air circulation controls
- Smart Lock enabled access (for enhanced security)
- Phone/video conference tech-enabled
Our on-demand meeting spaces provide a private, quiet, tech-enabled oasis of calm in which to conduct your business. We believe in today’s hectic world we could all use a little zen.
ZenSpace. On-demand Meeting Space. Anytime. Anyplace.

HyperSciences is a platform technology company that is solving some of the most challenging problems in tunneling, energy drilling, transportation, aerospace, and materials production.
By creating an extensive portfolio of patented and patent-pending hypervelocity technologies HyperSciences developed HyperCore, one of the worlds fastest, simplest, and most efficient commercial launch systems. Utilizing artificial intelligence our system first robotically loads and fires objects, next our HyperCore engine continues the process to accelerates the object to velocities greater than Mach 5.
We are revolutionary changing the efficiencies and economics of drilling HyperSciences, since 2015 our company has been partnered with Shell Energy to demonstrate this disruptive technology. We use low-cost chemical energy to accelerate consumable projectiles to hypersonic velocities, allowing projectiles upon impact to break and pulverize hard rock faster, deeper, and through a wider range of conditions.
We are using this same HyperCore technology to create the Hyper Tunneling Boring and Mining system (HTBM), replacing conventional tunneling methods which typically are slow, and significant capital expense. In most cases each consumable projectile removes over a half a ton of rock per impact.
When applied to deep geothermal energy our drilling system allows for low-cost access to deep energy. Our "Energy Anywhere" geothermal system generates power by quickly and efficiently reaching untapped geothermal resources and converting it into electrical energy that will cause a significant paradigm change in renewable, clean energy.
In 2018 HyperSciences secured our first contract with NASA by applying the key components of HyperCores automated system in order to launch payloads to high-altitudes at extreme velocity. By lowering the cost for hypersonic vehicle development and a new type of stealth program our system is prepared to support USA government contracts in the aerospace community.

In 2019, Pongalo merged with Discovery Communications-backed VIX, and rebranded its streaming service as VIX. In 2021, the combined company was acquired by US Hispanic media leader TelevisaUnivision.
Pongalo's streaming service (now known as TelevisaUnivision's ViX) was the first and largest streaming platform created specifically for global Spanish-speaking markets.
With Latino digital media audiences being drastically underserved, Pongalo was formed through a roll-up, led by Rich Hull and his Avalanche! Capital, of multiple Spanish-language content libraries and media companies. After aggregating multiple Mexican film libraries representing over $50 million of production costs, the company began utilizing these film IP catalogs’ valuable, never-before-utilized digital rights to form the Pongalo streaming service. Rolled-up companies included Latin Anywhere, Manana Media, Latin Mex, Latin Media, Inmoo and others
Originally launched with a subscription model, the Pongalo streaming service quickly followed its English-language peers, such as Pluto and Tubi, and evolved into a fully ad-supported streaming offering, becoming the #1 Latino streamer in both the U.S. and Latin America. The service offered the then-largest catalog of streamed Spanish-language films and TV shows, featuring original, owned and licensed titles from major content producers throughout Latin America and Hollywood.
Pongalo’s key distribution partnerships included major players such as Apple, Google, Roku and Amazon, and it also became one of the largest suppliers of Spanish-language content to, in particular, Amazon Channels and The Roku Channel. Pongalo received numerous accolades, including being named as one of the 101 Best Startups in Los Angeles by Best Startup.
The company was backed by Avalanche! Capital, Revolution Studios (Carlyle/Content Partners), Canyon Creek Capital, Digital Bridge, 500 Global, and others.
