  Algoface

  Enterprise software

  The company has its headquarters in Carefree, Arizona. Algoface has developed a Face AI enablement engine, a B2B and B2G platform designed for integration across mobile, desktop, and embedded systems, as well as emerging platforms like AR/VR and the Metaverse. This technology provides developers with tools for creating applications that require understanding of the human face, without needing in-house AI expertise. The core functionalities include highly accurate facial landmark tracking, detailed face analysis, eye-gaze estimation, and synthetic data generation. A significant feature is its deepfake detection capability, which addresses growing concerns around manipulated media. The business model is centered on providing this engine to other businesses and government entities, enabling them to build their own 2D and 3D Face AI solutions. The company emphasizes responsible technology, building its algorithms to be inclusive and to function with a high degree of accuracy across diverse populations. This focus on ethical considerations, such as privacy and mitigating bias, is a key market differentiator. Algoface has participated in several accelerator programs, including the first cohort of the Arizona State University pre-accelerator program in 2020, and was also a cohort company at AlchemistX, a venture-backed accelerator, in the same year. The company secured pre-seed funding in late 2020 to expand its team and enhance its technology platform.

  Environmental C&C

  Energy

  Environmental C&C (EC&C) is a specialized provider of air pollution control technologies for industrial applications. The firm has over three decades of experience in supplying fluidized bed systems for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) control, solvent recovery, and odor abatement. This history is built upon a close working relationship with the original developer of Bead Activated Carbon (BAC), a highly attrition-resistant material that is central to the company's technology. The founder and President of the company is Hal Cowles. The core of the business revolves around its Fluidized Bed Concentrator (FBC) systems, which are designed for treating high-volume, low-concentration flows of VOCs. The process involves directing contaminated air through a series of trays containing the BAC adsorbent, which captures the VOCs. The spent carbon is then moved to a desorption chamber where heat releases the VOCs in a highly concentrated form for final treatment, which can be either solvent recovery through condensation or destruction via thermal oxidation. This concentration process can achieve volume reduction ratios from 1000:1 to as high as 10,000:1, which significantly reduces the capital and operating expenditures for the 'back-end' treatment equipment. The company serves a range of industrial clients, including those in semiconductor manufacturing, painting and finishing, and printing sectors. Its systems are scalable, with installations ranging from 200 cubic feet per minute (cfm) to over 100,000 cfm, consistently achieving removal or recovery rates between 95% and 99%. By enabling the recovery of valuable solvents for reuse or generating fuel from captured compounds, the systems can offer a rapid return on investment, with at least one project reportedly paying back within a year.
