  • Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) is the state's federally designated nonprofit organ procurement organization (OPO), responsible for coordinating organ, eye, and tissue donation for transplantation and research throughout Arizona. Its core mission is to facilitate the gift of life by working with hospitals, healthcare partners, and donor families. The organization's history began in 1986 as Arizona's first organ donation program, a department within Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center known as the Arizona Organ and Tissue Bank (AOTB). By 1992, with the support of several medical centers, AOTB became an independent, community-based organization. The name was changed to Donor Network of Arizona in 1993 as its services expanded to include ocular recovery. A significant milestone occurred in 1995 when DNA acquired the Arizona Lions Eye and Tissue Bank, making it the sole eye recovery agency in the state. Further expansion in 1997 included the addition of an in-house immunogenetics laboratory for genetic testing to match kidney and pancreas recipients. The organization is now headquartered in Tempe with a satellite office in Tucson, serving the entire state. DNA operates 24/7, responding to notifications of potential donors from hospitals, which are required by federal law to make these referrals. The organization manages the DonateLifeAZ Registry, the state's database of registered donors. When a potential donor is identified, DNA confirms their registration status. If the individual is a registered donor, the team provides support and counseling to the family while honoring the donor's decision. If not registered, the family is given the option to authorize donation. DNA's clinical staff then coordinates with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to find matches on the national waiting list based on need and proximity. The recovery process is conducted with respect in a surgical setting. Beyond the clinical procedures, DNA offers a comprehensive two-year aftercare program for donor families, providing ongoing support, guidance, and opportunities to honor their loved one. As a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, DNA's business model is not for profit. It partners with academic medical centers, hospitals, universities, and biotechnology agencies to facilitate donation for research, which contributes to medical advancements. One organ donor can save up to eight lives, and a tissue donor can heal more than 75 others. In 2025, DNA facilitated a record-breaking year with 421 organ donors leading to 1,244 organs transplanted, saving 1,083 lives.

  • Droidz

    Robotics

    Based in Mesa, Arizona, Droidz LLC is a robotics company established in 2019 to address labor shortages and the complexities of automation in the manufacturing sector. Hughes brings over two decades of experience in electrical engineering and the development of robotic systems for commercial, industrial, and military use. Bieber's background spans a similar length of time in computer systems engineering, with a history of leadership roles in the development of sophisticated hardware and software for military and commercial applications, including helicopter autopilots and surveillance systems. Droidz is focused on the development of low-cost robotics, specifically humanoid robots, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and aerial systems. The company targets its solutions at small to medium-sized manufacturers and businesses that require high levels of product customization, a market segment often underserved by traditional, high-cost automation. The core of its offering is the DROIDZ AmpOS platform, which facilitates the training of robots through remote human operation. This approach allows an expert to perform a task remotely through an avatar system, which in turn trains the robot to perform the task autonomously. The business operates on a Robotics as a Service (RaaS) model. This model enables the skills and automations developed for one robot to be shared across a network of other droids, allowing clients to scale their operations by adding more units without starting the training process from scratch. This system is designed to handle tasks such as land maintenance, security, surveying, and various manufacturing processes. By creating general-purpose robots that can operate safely alongside humans, Droidz aims to provide a flexible and adaptable solution to the challenges of an ever-changing industrial landscape.

  • East Valley Direct Primary Care is a medical practice in Mesa, Arizona, that operates on a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, a modern approach that prioritizes the patient-physician relationship by removing insurance companies as intermediaries. This model is designed to offer more personalized, accessible, and transparent healthcare. The clinic serves patients in the East Valley of Arizona, including areas like Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and Queen Creek. The business makes money through a membership-based revenue structure where patients pay a recurring monthly or annual fee. This fee covers a broad range of primary care services, including unlimited office visits, direct communication with the physician via phone, text, or email, same- or next-day appointments, and annual health check-ups. By not accepting traditional health insurance, the practice reduces administrative overhead and can offer longer, more thorough appointments, often lasting 30 to 60 minutes. This structure is particularly beneficial for individuals without insurance or those with high-deductible plans. Patients are still encouraged to have a separate insurance plan to cover specialist care, hospitalizations, and emergencies. Services provided include management of common health issues such as allergies, diabetes, and hypertension, as well as preventive care, screenings, and minor procedures like mole removal. The clinic also emphasizes a holistic approach to patient health. The DPC model allows for wholesale pricing on many common medications and discounted lab and imaging services, which can result in significant savings for patients.
