NovilyticMonitoring the quality of lifesaving medicines is Novilytic’s mission. We accomplish this via the disruptive use of nanotechnology and cutting-edge science designed for Process R&D and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The Proteometer (Proteoform Meter) is a technology for drug development companies that can provide near-real-time warnings on molecular structure changes. Like a canary in an old coal mine, the Proteometer serves as our “Canary in the Fermentor.” This technology will be sold in the form of kits that allow customers to convert their LCs into a Proteometer in a short period of time. Training and service all remain the same, including one’s own software, thus ensuring ease of use and speed of adoption. Commercialization efforts are underway as the organization is preparing for an early 2023 product launch. -- Novilytic is backed by more than 10 patents (and two pending), partnerships with multiple analytical instrument companies, 2 pharmaceutical consortiums, and analytical science universities. Our talented team includes 5 Ph.D. chemists and engineers who have helped us secure significant patents and other IP.
Blue Wave was founded in 2016 with a mission to utilize recent advances in data sciences to solve problems that were previously unsolvable. Since its inception, Blue Wave has combined the resources of academia with the experience of industry experts to provide solutions to formerly intractable problems. Led by Dr. Tom Gruenwald, former Tellabs CTO, Westell CEO and Bell Labs Executive, along with a team of accomplished scientists, Blue Wave uses a unique blend of science, engineering, AI and mathematical expertise to solve real-world problems at a world-class level. Most AI companies provide a one size fits all AI platform developed by a group of computer scientists. They give the client a set of tools to sort through their data to come up with generic solutions to generic problems. Blue Wave is different in that we provide custom solutions for complicated issues, engineered by industry experts along with computer scientists. Aerospace AI applications are built with a team of Aerospace Engineers in addition to experts in Data Science and AI. Nuclear reactor problems are solved with a team of Nuclear Physicists combined with a team of Computer Scientists.

PlaneEnglishRadio communication is an important part of aviation and a critical skill for safe flight. Training opportunities to learn and master aviation radio communication are few and expensive. Reading aviation phraseology manuals and radio procedures guidelines, or listening to other pilots talk on the radio is ineffective. Spending precious flight time learning or correcting radio communication for only limited exposure is unsustainable!
Adipo Therapeutic is a biotechnology company that develops polymer-based nanotherapeutics. Its nanotherapeutics utilizes adipocyte browning technique to convert energy-storing bad fat cells into energy-burning good fat cells to transform the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes, enabling patients to lose bodyweight naturally and restoring metabolic balance for millions of people living with diabetes.

VinSenseVinSense is an Indiana LLC formed in March 2015 to produce an innovative decision support software system for agricultural crop production. The new technology enables producers, field managers, and winemakers to make better crop management decisions to improve production volume, uniformity and quality and increase profitability and long-term sustainability. The VinSense software, initially targeted at the wine grape growing and winemaking industry, will deliver the following value to our customers: Increased crop volume Enhanced crop uniformity Better crop management – cover crop decisions, irrigation practices, pruning, canopy management, and other crop management decisions Long-term crop sustainability Better soil moisture management – resulting in water conservation and lower irrigation costs Optimal soil nutrient management Better environmental protection practices Our product is based on the latest soil, viticulture, enology, and predictive analytics research, as well as the latest sensing technologies (in situ and remotely sensed). The key unique components of the system are the transformation of this data deluge into easily understood information relevant to crop and winemaking decisions and the incorporation of soil physics and hydrology, viticulture, and enological models to increase the relevance of the information and enable predictive analytics for management and planning. The user-friendly visual interface and decision tools are being developed with “real world” producers to ensure that the data provided is relevant, understandable, and, most importantly, actionable.
Amplified Sciences is a molecular diagnostics company unlike other diagnostics companies due to their ultra-sensitive molecular sensing technology with composition of matter IP exclusively licensed from Purdue University. The technology is disease state agnostic, can detect to the single molecule level, scales easily to point of care, and provides a very favorable cost structure for their platform of reagents. The first application – early detection of pancreatic cancer - is an assay that will quickly prove the investment thesis due to large unmet medical need and a favorable reimbursement path. The team has delivered a working prototype and published proof of concept data.
