Our team has an ongoing internal huddle throughout the year: a team meeting where we share the most disruptive and exciting startups and emerging technologies from around the world. The only rule is that they can’t solve a current client challenge directly. This way, we retain our superpower of spotting creative adjacencies and disruptive outer-horizon solutions.
Below, we share a selection of those startups and technologies with you.
- Niron Magnetics is developing 🧬 the world’s first advanced manufacturing ⚙️ process for the mass production of permanent 🧲 magnets, Clean Earth Magnet™, powered by its breakthrough material 🧪 formulation.
- Living Carbon is a public benefit 💼 corporation with a mission to rebalance the metabolic 🧬 system of our planet 🌎 by genetically enhancing CO2 capture and storage in 🌳 trees.
- Miss Mustard Seed's® Milk Paint produces 🖌️ paint with milk 🥛. It's their mission to provide quality refinishing products that are safe 🍃 for customers, good for the 🌎 planet, and represent their deep love for the simple beauty of MilkPaint™.
- Bereavement support 🙏🏻 for the modern world. With a combination of technology 💻 & human support, Empathy helps families 👨👩👧 through all the 💰 financial, legal, emotional, and 💼 logistical challenges that follow loss.
- Spoiler Alert is a B2B 🤝 sales software company helping CPG 📦 manufacturers and distributors to manage excess and slow-moving inventory by 💻 digitizing the liquidation process.
