The only rule, is that they can’t directly solve a current client challenge. This way we retain our super-power of spotting creative adjacencies and disruptive outer-horizon solutions. Below we share a selection of those startups and technologies with you.  - [Flair Impact](https://flairimpact.com/) - a people 👭 analytics tool 🔨 that helps businesses 💼 and schools 🏫 measure and build anti-racist cultures.  - [Hydro Wind Energy](https://www.hw.energy/) - their mission is to protect the natural 🌱 environment by developing breakthrough technologies 📱 like [QuenchSea](https://www.quenchsea.world/): the world's 🌏 only low cost 💰, portable 🎒 seawater 🌊 desalination device.  - OCCULAND - a platform that brings landowners 🏝️, tenants, and content creators 🎨 together to manage, develop 🏗️, and monetize 💵 the Metaverse.  - [Pass It Down](http://www.passitdown.com/)- a digital 💻 storytelling 📖 platform recently launched [ICONIC Moments](https://iconicmoments.co/), the first NFT marketplace 🏬 for the 450,000 museums 🏛️ and cultural institutions around the world.  - [Colorifix ](http://www.colorifix.com/)- is learning from nature 🌸. They are the first company using a biological process to produce, deposit and fix pigments 🌈 onto textiles 👗 in a way that lessens the environmental 🏞️ cost of producing 100 billion articles of clothing each year.   - [LibertyX](https://libertyx.com/) - America's 🗽 first and largest U.S. network 🌐 of bitcoin ATMs 🏧, cashiers and kiosks with thousands of locations across 44 states nationwide.

OF course, for client work, every startup is deep-vetted and selected to solve for the KPIs that drive impact. If you have 20 minutes, I would love to discuss how startups can solve your current business challenges in new ways and how VF can be your secret weapon.
