ReloShare builds technology that helps social service agencies secure safe, dignified accommodations for people in crisis.
Our platform is trusted by nonprofit and government partners supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and individuals experiencing homelessness. We work alongside frontline providers to reduce barriers, improve coordination, and bring greater predictability to emergency housing systems.
Our tools include Safe Stays, which allows agencies to book emergency hotel stays under an alias with no credit card required at check-in, and The Grove, a collaborative platform for sharing and reporting real-time shelter bed availability. We also offer Safe Stays+, an optional protection plan that simplifies and caps common hotel damage-related costs.
Many of our team members come from direct service backgrounds, and that lived experience shapes how we build, communicate, and partner—with an emphasis on trust, accountability, and real-world impact.
We believe technology should meet people where they are, strengthen existing systems, and support the people doing the hardest work every day.

Trainual is the training manual for modern businesses. It's a simple and intuitive business playbook builder that makes it easy for growing teams to get everyone up to speed and on the same page, fast. The app was built to help business owners, team leaders, hiring and training managers centralize knowledge, organize processes and SOPs, automate training, and create learning systems for building more scalable or sellable businesses.
If your company or department is outgrowing what Google Docs, Dropbox, email, etc. can provide, and needs to have training and organizational content in a place that's fully searchable, easy to update, easy to assign, and easy to track, Trainual is a better way to organize how you do what you do. Because unlike those other systems, you can group your content by role in the organization, assign it to the right people, and track their progress so you always know that they're up to speed.
If you are looking for a tool that's more affordable and easier to implement than enterprise LMS, there's Trainual. You don't need an expensive LMS to empower your people to do their best work, and you need something better than a Google Doc to capture your company's tribal knowledge. Automate your onboarding, improve your training, and don't freak out if someone puts in their notice!

We built Maxwell to change the game for small and midsize mortgage lenders — whether you originate $300M or $3B. Today our digital mortgage platform powers hundreds of mortgage lending institutions nationwide, from non-depository mortgage banks, to credit unions, to brokers, to community banks. We work to make them, and their employees, the real heroes who enable homeowners to achieve the American Dream. And we’re just getting started.
Maxwell was founded in 2015 by homebuyers who were shocked by the complexity of the mortgage process for borrowers and lending teams alike. Somehow, in the mix of paperwork, points and process, the humanity and emotion of the largest financing decision of a person’s life had been lost. After spending a year with over 1,000 mortgage professionals, the founding team realized we needed to focus on making the people who make a difference really shine. Now, we employ a world-class team of software experts and mortgage professionals who pull up our socks every morning to do just that. We’re privileged that our company has been recognized by HousingWire, Progress in Lending, MReport, and others as a leading innovator in our industry. At the end of the day, we are a committed team doing honest work that really matters in the real world — one lender, one borrower, one homeowner at a time. And it works.

Our artist x brand partnerships are rooted in performance—and that starts with creating the tools that help artists better understand their own fans.
7000+ artists use our tech to connect directly with their fans—all while capturing fan data that allows them to nurture relationships through a direct-to-fan approach.
Our platform makes all of these datapoints available to brands, allowing marketers to identify artists whose audiences mirror your own target and harness the power of the emotional connection between artists and their fans.
Artists are the most impactful influencers & creators. They have passionate, devoted fans who want to connect with them, engaging online and at live events. By aligning your brand with an artist in a direct, sincere partnership, a brand becomes a part of the artist’s community and can form a meaningful connection with fans.
At MAX, we turn fan love into brand love with measurable (and impressive) results.
