Bristles is a startup based in Durham, North Carolina. Our mission is to build creativity-enabling products that harness the insight of artificial intelligence to deliver powerful functionality as delightful, easy-to-use tools for visualizing ideas. Because sometimes, words arent enough.
We’re inspired by a classic creative tool: the paintbrush. It enables the artist to focus on illustrating their creative vision. All the while, thousands of tiny bristles are working to apply paint evenly and smoothly. In our products, we pack the power into the bristles, so you can focus on the rewarding, creative bits of your work.
Our first product is a mobile app for designing home DIY & upcycling projects. These transformations are massive creative undertakings, so were empowering DIYers and Upcyclers to visualize, build on, and share their ideas.

Rivia Health brings easeful efficiency to healthcare patient payments. We work with healthcare provider organizations to complement their revenue cycle operations and get them paid more while doing less.
Rivia Health alleviates staff overwhelm by reducing manual tasks related to outstanding patient responsibility. Our communication and payment platform integrates with the practice management or RCM system to automate billing workflows like appointment and billing reminders, copay or pre-service payments, and payment plan setup.
In addition to saving staff time, Rivia Health also improves financial results by communicating more dynamically to patients about balances across text and email and by making it easier for patients to pay across multiple payment methods with a 3-step, no login required process.
Our existing customers have described our results as "Outstanding!" with a 90% reduction in outstanding accounts receivable and 75% of payments are made by day 2, before a paper statement would even arrive.

Most teams are stuck stitching together ticketing, merch, content, and gameday tools from different vendors, paying fees at every step, and losing visibility on the fan relationship.
Jump changes that.
We give you one unified system for ticketing, content, commerce, and gameday ops—purpose-built for sports teams and venues. No hidden fees. No middlemen. Just one platform your team fully owns and controls.
Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves are already using Jump to take back control of their data, margin, and brand, delivering the kind of experience fans expect today.
Founded by Marc Lore, Alex Rodriguez, and Jordy Leiser, and backed by top investors like Forerunner, Will Ventures, Mastry, and Courtside, we’re rethinking what the fan experience should be—and how teams can own more of it.
With Jump, you can:
- Eliminate ticketing fees and recapture lost margin
- Grow fan LTV with smarter upsells and owned data
- Streamline ops with tools built specifically for sports teams
- Align incentives through a SaaS + rev share model

What is Pyx Health?
Pyx Health is leading the solution to loneliness and social isolation through technology and human connection. Research has found that loneliness increases mortality rates and annual patient treatment costs at similar rates to many chronic diseases. By combining compassionate technology with timely human interventions, Pyx Health offers patients and healthcare providers an innovative, scalable solution that effectively addresses this U.S. health epidemic. Pyx Health is helping people feel better while lowering costs for employers and healthcare providers.
Our Story
In 2016, Pyx Health CEO Cindy Jordan watched as a loved one’s physical and mental health declined rapidly from stable to high risk. While caring for them, Cindy learned about gaps in healthcare and the pervasive loneliness and social isolation epidemic affecting vulnerable populations. Frustrated by the lack of care, Cindy vowed to wage a war on loneliness and was determined to create an impactful solution marrying technology and compassionate human interventions; in 2017, the Pyx Health app was born. Today, while Cindy’s work is far from done, 93% of Pyx users report feeling healthier, and health plans have seen significant reductions in costs for Pyx patients.
