CleanRobotics is a mission driven startup that is reinventing the way we think about recycling across the globe. Our flagship product, Trashbot™ eliminates pitfalls commonly associated with waste collections by identifying and robotically sorting items as they are deposited into the robot. Our data helps facilities approach zero waste while materially impacting their carbon footprint.
THE PROBLEM
Recycling is hard. Rules change from place to place, new regulations are frequently introduced, and people are confused. Waste management remains the one process that corporations cannot measure or effectively sort. The burden of recycling is placed on individuals, and it is hard for busy people to get educated and keep up with the changing regulations.
OUR SOLUTION
What if there was a smart trash can that took care of recycling for you? You would no longer have to think about manually separating your recyclables. What if there was a Trashbot™ that took your waste, separated the actual trash from recyclable waste and dynamically updated your waste management processes with data on trash and recycling? Introducing Trashbot™, a robotic trash can combining next-generation robotics and sensor technology to automatically sort recyclables from everyday trash.

Flextrapower is a remote monitoring company powered by graphene technology, a disruptive material with unique properties that allow for ground-breaking biomedical applications. Graphene is stronger than steel, yet incredibly lightweight and flexible. It is electrically and thermally conductive but also transparent. It’s one million times thinner than the diameter of a single human hair.
Our team has developed and patented a method to seamlessly embed graphene sensors into flexible materials, like clothing. This method enables us to develop state-of-the-art remote monitoring products that advance health outcomes and improve patient care. Currently, Bonbouton has developed a smart insole that detects diabetic foot ulcers, an EMG-integrated smart shirt, and a COVID-19 mask featuring a layer of graphene.

Proteus Motion is transforming the landscape of physical strength and power assessment, surpassing traditional one-dimensional methods. Our patented hardware and software solutions are tailored for businesses catering to athletes, including commercial gyms, physical therapy and chiropractic clinics, and elite sports organizations.
These businesses choose Proteus to elevate the quality of their services, attract more clients, gain a competitive edge, and boost revenue by expanding premium offerings.
Unlike typical connected fitness companies, Proteus has developed a groundbreaking piece of equipment that opens up new frontiers in human performance. Our technology quantifies and enhances physical strength and power for functional movements, going beyond the capabilities of existing equipment.
Proteus software simplifies performance testing with a single machine, delivering immediate personalized insights and recommendations on strength and power, particularly for rotational and functional movements. Our reports precisely outline the movements individuals need to focus on, enabling easy program development, progress tracking, and peer comparisons. With Proteus, you can achieve in minutes what would take 20 pieces of equipment and 3 hours in a lab.
But Proteus is not just a testing tool—it introduces 3D resistance, a revolutionary training modality resembling a force field, offering the sensation of moving underwater. Proven to generate twice the muscle activation of traditional methods, this tool improves movement efficiency and rotational power and speed without causing muscle soreness.
Experiencing rapid growth, Proteus has expanded tenfold in two years, driven mainly by word of mouth. We currently have 400 partner sites, thousands of trainers, and a diverse user base of 75,000 athletes.
Proteus aims to establish itself as the universal standard for measuring physical strength and power.
