Focus groups have called UnaliWear “OnStar for People” because we provide discreet support for falls, medication reminders, and a guard against wandering in a classically-styled watch that features an easy-to-use speech interface rather than buttons. Unlike traditional medical alert products, we work wherever you are, 24x7 - and unlike Apple Watch or Samsung Gear, we don’t require a smart phone, because it's built in. The Kanega watch combines cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth (for hearing aids and telemedicine devices), an accelerometer for automatic fall detection, and continuous speech with artificial intelligence in the cloud that learns the wearer's lifestyle to provide predictive, pre-emptive support (think like a "NEST for People"​).

One of the driving goals of Next Wave Impact is to increase diversity in angel investing and high growth entrepreneurship. Our first pilot programs sought to narrow the gender gap in angel investing by providing nearly 200 women a unique learning opportunity that allowed them to build a diversified portfolio of investments, receive mentoring by women who are experienced angel investors, and an education & training program around angel investing. We completed two pilot programs: a US program in partnership with Portfolia and Go Beyond Investing and a Europe program in partnership with Go Beyond Investing and the European Business Angel Network. The Angel Capital Association also partnered with us on the education and training piece, which was supported by the Kauffman Foundation. Second funds are now underway in both the US and Europe. We have also set up a 501c(3) nonprofit organization, the Next Wave Foundation, which will focus on building out the education and training programs, as well as a global network of women investors and entrepreneurs (and the men who support them). The Next Wave Network is a global movement to increase women’s participation in angel investing as an asset class. It has been developed to provide an enriching investment experience; including an investment portfolio in start-ups, an education of the investment process, and the development of a global angel community of successful business women across the US, Europe, Africa,Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

The age of solar has arrived. With prices falling by 80% in less than a decade, solar power is now within reach of every American household. Here’s the problem: 90 million American households are currently locked out of the solar marketplace. Maybe it’s because they rent their homes. Or other solar companies are not willing to sell to them. Or simply because their roof is in the shade or is not well-suited to a solar array. Our mission is to unlock the possibility of solar power for these households. With the help of transformative policies taking root in the United States, we are now in a position to do so. Its called "community solar."​ What it means is that a household can buy solar power without having an array installed on its roof. Heres what we noticed: in communities all across the country, there are extraordinary organizations -- from the church down the street to the college campus across town -- that are embracing clean energy and want to bring it to their constituents. There are also households that want to go solar but do not have an easy way to do so. Finally, there are solar companies eager to find more customers. Our goal as Solstice is to use community solar to help these groups meet one another. When we do, everybody wins: those who cannot currently access solar are brought into the market, more solar is deployed, and everyone saves on their electricity bills.
