Eliaz Therapeutics (ETI), founded by Dr. Isaac Eliaz, focuses on harnessing his extensive expertise in Galectin-3 and Apheresis technology to create a cutting-edge therapeutic Apheresis device. This device aims to remove Galectin-3 from the bloodstream, which plays a pivotal role in various severe health conditions, particularly in Sepsis. Galectin-3 is linked to the exacerbation of inflammatory responses and immune dysregulation, including cytokine storms, which are critical factors in the progression and severity of sepsis. The primary application of this technology is targeted at treating sepsis and its common complication, sepsis-induced Acute Kidney Injury (SA-AKI). Sepsis is a life-threatening response to infection that can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. In the United States alone, sepsis leads to millions of hospitalizations each year, with a significant number of these cases progressing to AKI. This condition complicates the course of sepsis by impairing kidney function, potentially necessitating intensive treatments like dialysis or kidney transplantation. Currently, there are no approved treatments that effectively prevent, alleviate, or expedite recovery from sepsis and its associated AKI. ETIs XGAL3 apheresis technology offers a potential breakthrough in sepsis treatment, aiming to improve patient management and outcomes dramatically, and offering hope for saving hundreds of thousands of lives each year.

We’re the Robinhood for pre-IPO startups. Everyone can angel invest $100 in a Community Round. On May 16, 2016, it became legal for everyday people to invest as little as $100 in startups and small businesses. Since then, we’ve helped 1,860 founders raise almost $500M from their community - for flying cars, coffee shops, and everything in between. We’re a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We’re reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley. Want to help? Join us! We’re a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.

Neurocarrus is developing a novel therapy to treat pain without addiction. We are a biotechnology company developing a novel drug delivery technology to safely disrupt pain signals without addiction-forming medications or disruption of muscular control. Our first-in-class therapeutic (N-001) is designed to treat the physiological symptoms of pain without invasive surgical procedures or systemically absorbed drugs. We engineered N-001 for individuals experiencing pain as a result of tissue injury or inflammation as well as patients with acute nerve damage. N-001 is a leading technology in the fight against the prescription opioid abuse and heroin epidemic, which claims the lives of tens of thousands of Americans each year. A safe, non-addictive and effective treatment for pain (a disease burden of over $635 billion in the US*) would have a major impact on human health. Neurocarrus was founded by prominent research scientists in the field of protein engineering. The company is led by a strong management and advisory team with expertise in business, biotechnology and medicine. To date, we have generated extensive in vitro and in vivo data supporting the efficacy of N-001.

The JOBS Act (passed in 2012 and enacted in 2016) allows all Americans to invest in startups, which was previously limited to only the wealthy elite. Now, thousands of everyday investors put millions of dollars into startups every year. Despite that, there is still no research and analytics solutions similar to the public market (e.g., Morningstar, Bloomberg, SeekingAlpha, The Motley Fool) to empower individuals to make informed investment decisions. Kingscrowd aims to empower everyone to invest in startups confidently through a suite of products including research, ratings, data analytics, founder interviews, and financial products. Kingscrowd collects hundreds of data points on every startup that raises money online, and our patent-pending algorithm provides a quantitative assessment of the startups investment potential. We believe in the power of data-driven investment decisions.
