hobbyDB™ is a whole new kind of marketplace for the $200bn hobby & collectibles market. Were building a giant database of every collectible ever made; from diecast cars to electric guitars and Eames Chairs to teddy bears. All of which are interrelated in every possible way so you can easily find everything made by a manufacturer like Marx or Matchbox, every model of a certain type or anything with a particular branding or theme. More than just a great place to research and reminisce, its a whole collectible ecosystem. The catalog also powers a collection management system where users can upload images and data about their own collectibles and put them on sale Amazon-style with just one click - as well as building wish lists and receiving alerts when stuff they want goes up for sale. Our first verticals are Automobilia, model cars and diecast model aircraft. We will soon be adding vinyl art toys, slot cars, model trains, and action figures.

Over 160,000 students skip school everyday in the US because of bullying. BRIM is a cloud-based platform that takes the fear out of reporting bullying so students report sooner and schools can prevent tragedies and lawsuits. BRIM is used by over 200 schools across Canada, the US and Australia and is approved by the Ontario Ministry of Educations Registry of Resources for Safe Schools.
