If e-commerce is increasingly the lifeblood of thriving retail, why is the logistics that powers it so convoluted? E-commerce-focused companies face seven continents of competition. The barrier to growth is only exacerbated by the opaque systems that move their business from Point A to Point B. Online retailers struggle to scale due to the cost and complexities of shipping. Logistics-enabled companies face prohibitive expenses and technical challenges to compete. At the end of this chain of inefficiency: the end-consumers that keep it all in motion. At BoxC, we believe things can be better. And we’re here to shake up the status quo. In a single platform with a single API, we put a global network of shipping and logistics services a click away. All the critical details — customs, duties, taxes, dangerous items pre-screening, and more — are on us. Your sole focus can be on growing your e-commerce business, your way. It’s frictionless. It’s flexible. It’s affordable. It’s e-commerce logistics management the way it should be. Makes you wonder what took so long. The global infrastructure to expand your business is there. We make it available to everyone.

Were excited to announce that weve been acquired by Atheer! Our three founders (Ryan Fink, Gary Peck, and Ty Frackiewicz) and other employees are all at Atheer now. Using Computer Vision and Proprietary Algorithms, Ari turns the single 2D camera on any device into an accurate gesture recognition device. We purposely built Ari on Google Glass first to put the constraints of limited CPU and battery power on ourselves. The results- we have the fastest, lightest, and most accurate mobile gesture recognition software. Gesture recognition technology has been around for decades, but only recently, with smartphones leading the way, have mobile devices become a viable candidate for this older, computationally heavy, technology. The form factor for this technology is here (wearable and connected devices) and weve taken a fresh approach to create Ari by focusing on on the go verticals.

At Verificient Technologies, we utilize artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer visioning and biometrics in forming our Trusted Identity-as-a-Service (TIaaS),a platform for identity verification and authentication.

Weaving these advanced technologies together with user-centered design and award-winning customer service, our patented automated approach, pairs usability with accurate results and true scalability. Today, were serving a variety of markets, including Higher Education, HR and Recruitment, and Remote Labor-Force Management (virtual work at home agents).

We started Vastrm to solve a basic problem: shirts that don't fit well. Let's face it, most off the rack purchases just don't fit right. Mass produced shirts were meant to accommodate a wide variety of body types with one standard size. And different brands have different standards for sizing. That is why so many men end up shopping in 4 - 5 different stores before finding a shirt that actually fits! Vastrm's Founder, Jonathan Tang, came up with Vastrm's custom fit polo shirt concept while frustrated with the hordes of baggy boxy polos that were available on the market. He refused to compromise with the ill fitting shirts and resolved to find a better way to get men in better fitting polos. We designed a system that will give you the ability to make custom fit adjustments to all of our apparel. With Vastrm, you will finally be able to define the perfect fit for your unique body type, whether you are extremely athletic (we can help design an athletic fit polo to accentuate those muscles), are looking for an extreme slim fit, have a couple of pounds to lose, are looking for big and tall polo shirts or just want something that doesn't feel like a bag!

Cereal is the embodiment layer for robotics. One mind, any body. The hard part of a useful robot isnt the conversation. Its the actuation - getting a machine to act safely and reliably in the physical world, around people. Cereal builds the control layer that turns intent into dependable physical action, so a single AI mind can drive any compliant robot body. Trained in simulation, with no retraining for each platform. Our founding team has shipped exactly this before. Cereals co-founders are named inventors on the sim-to-real robotics work behind Googles Everyday Robots, Cruise, and DeepMind, working alongside rendering and game-engine veterans who build the simulated worlds these systems learn in. The mind is already running. Cole, our planning and memory system, powers real workflows for real users today - the intent layer a robot needs, minus the body. Cereal gives it one. Our first proving ground is the home: helping older adults live independently. The hardest test of safe physical assistance around people.

Analog is a completely decentralized, PoT-based, layer-0 platform for communicating validated event data. At the core of the platform are tesseracts and time nodes (explained later) that can privately fetch and confirm event data from sovereign chains, allowing different ecosystems to speak the same language. Our mission is to usher in trustless, omnichain interoperability that allows developers to easily build their applications via a universal protocol and an API. We are also unveiling a novel, superfast PoT protocol that creates verifiable event data on the Timechain, allowing DApp developers to build next-generation event-based applications. We believe that each Blockchain ecosystem has its core strengths, use cases, developer pools, and liquidity pools (LPs). Blockchains should benefit from trading functionalities, assets, and LPs; the same way economies benefit from cross-border trade. Our vision is to facilitate omnichain interoperability to enable developers to deploy DApps from any network to any other Blockchain, in a near codeless format, and at scale.
