- Verve Medical
Health
The company is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and operates within the health care equipment sector. Since its inception, Verve Medical has secured approximately $3.63 million in funding over several seed rounds to support its research and development efforts.The company's core business revolves around the development and commercialization of renal denervation devices. This treatment targets overactive nerves in the kidneys, which are a known cause of high blood pressure. By delivering energy to these nerves, the procedure aims to decrease their activity and help regulate blood pressure. Verve Medical serves patients with uncontrolled hypertension who may not be responding to traditional therapies.Verve Medical's principal product is the Verve RPD™ Renal Pelvic Denervation System. A distinguishing feature of this system is its transurethral approach, accessing the renal nerves through the urethra in a manner similar to common urological procedures. This method targets the dense network of nerves in the renal pelvis, which contrasts with other renal denervation techniques that approach nerves through the renal artery. In July 2023, the company received Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to commence a pivotal trial for its device, a significant milestone intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the system for treating uncontrolled hypertension.

- Vetted Maintenance, LLC
Real estate
Vetted Maintenance, LLC operates as an automated procurement partner for commercial janitorial services, targeting the commercial real estate sector. Myles brings over 20 years of experience as a Senior Risk Engineer and Corporate Risk Manager, a background that informed the platform's focus on mitigating liability for property managers. Lametti has extensive experience from both sides of the procurement process, having spent 12 years managing subcontractors and commercial projects at a specialty construction firm, in addition to managing his own portfolio of rental properties. The company's core service streamlines the procurement cycle for property managers. Instead of managers spending significant time drafting RFPs, sourcing vendors, and comparing bids, Vetted Maintenance handles the entire process. This includes matching a project to pre-vetted vendors, coordinating site walkthroughs, normalizing bids for an apples-to-apples comparison, and verifying compliance. The platform delivers a 'Decision Matrix' to the client, typically within a week, that outlines key metrics like pricing, W-2 compliance status, and insurance limits. While the company manages the procurement and compliance, the property manager retains direct operational control over the cleaning crew. Vetted Maintenance's business model is free for property managers. The company generates revenue by charging janitorial vendors a placement fee, which is 100% of the first month's contract value. This fee is only collected when a vendor wins a contract, differentiating the service from lead-generation platforms that charge for leads regardless of outcome. The company places a strong emphasis on compliance, verifying that all vendors use W-2 employees (confirmed via Form 941 payroll verification), carry minimum insurance levels, and have passed background checks and safety training. This 'Digital Firewall' approach is designed to protect clients from the liability risks associated with improperly vetted contractors.

- VisionTroy
Enterprise software
VisionTroy provides an AI-driven service that functions as an invisible operations layer for private golf clubs, designed to automate administrative tasks and allow staff to focus on member experience. The service targets Directors of Golf, General Managers, Head Professionals, and golf operations teams, aiming to reduce the hours they spend on manual back-office work such as managing tee sheets, member communications, and event coordination. The platform, referred to as 'Troy', integrates with a club's existing documents, policies, and systems without requiring a complex migration or API integration. It learns a club's specific rules and preferences to handle operational duties autonomously. Key features include answering member questions in the club's voice at any time, adjusting the tee sheet proactively, and significantly speeding up event setup. The system also offers capabilities like inventory management by logging items from invoices and features voice commands for hands-free operation. For members, VisionTroy offers a single mobile application for tee times, events, and communications, designed to feel like a personal concierge. VisionTroy emphasizes security and privacy by running its environment within the club's private infrastructure, ensuring data remains encrypted and under the club's governance. The business model positions the service not as new software to be managed, but as a system that removes the operational burden from the club's personnel. The company's blog highlights the shift from conversational AI ('chatbots') to 'agentic AI' that takes action, which is the core of their offering. This approach addresses the high administrative workload that can lead to staff burnout and detract from the hospitality-focused mission of private clubs.

- Vista PHX
Media
Williams serves as CEO and Wilson as CFO, bringing decades of experience in designing and supporting mission-critical video systems. The corporation was specifically formed with the objective of acquiring the Broadcast and Professional Video business from Christie Digital Systems USA. The proposed acquisition included the intellectual property and operational infrastructure for several high-profile video processing platforms that Williams and Wilson's original company had developed: Spyder, Terra, Phoenix, and Mastering Gateway. The Spyder line is a widely recognized video compositing system for live events and broadcasts, while Terra is an AV-over-IP platform for uncompressed video distribution. The deal was presented as a "return to roots," placing these technologies back in the hands of their original innovators. However, in May 2026, it was announced that negotiations between Vista PHX and Christie had ceased. As a result, Christie retained ownership of the product lines, and the announced acquisition did not proceed. The reasons for the termination of the deal were not publicly disclosed.

Health, Wellness & beauty
Vivazen, operating under the parent brand Feel Great Botanics, is a prominent player in the botanical wellness and supplements industry. Curtis's vision, conceived during a trek to Mount Everest, was to establish a purpose-driven company that leverages plant medicine to enhance human potential. The company's core business revolves around the manufacturing and sale of botanical supplements, with a significant focus on products containing kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a plant native to Southeast Asia known for its stimulant and sedative-like effects. Vivazen's product lineup includes liquid shots, gummies, capsules, and powders designed to provide benefits such as energy, focus, stress relief, and mood enhancement. These products are distributed through a direct-to-consumer model via their website and are also available in over 20,000 retail locations, primarily convenience stores and gas stations across the United States. Revenue is generated through these sales, with a subscription model offered online that provides discounts and free shipping to customers. Vivazen markets itself as a leader in quality and regulatory compliance within the often-unregulated kratom space. Its products are manufactured in GMP-certified and FDA-registered facilities in the U.S., undergoing extensive lab testing for purity and potency. The brand's proprietary blends often include other botanicals like valerian root, passionflower, and willow bark extract alongside kratom. Over its decade-plus history, Vivazen has sold over 700 million servings and established itself as the top-selling kratom shot brand in the U.S. convenience channel, according to Nielsen data. The company has faced scrutiny regarding its primary ingredient, kratom, which is not approved by the FDA for medical use and has been associated with risks of addiction and adverse health effects.

- Voco AI
Enterprise software
Voco AI is a pre-launch, bootstrapped startup from Phoenix, Arizona, creating a marketplace for real-world video training data for the physical-AI and robotics industries. The company's model is centered on the principle of "NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) for the working class," empowering individuals in physical trades to own and monetize video footage of their work. The business operates a two-sided marketplace. On one side, workers, such as independent residential cleaners, record consented video of their daily tasks. They retain ownership of this footage. On the other side, robotics labs and AI development teams purchase licenses to use this data to train their models on real-world scenarios that are difficult to replicate in a lab environment. Voco AI's revenue is generated through a transparent commission structure, taking a 25% fee on each license sold, while the worker who created the data receives 70-75%. A portion of the revenue is also directed to a community pool to fund future worker-owners. The platform ensures ethical data sourcing through a rigorous, three-part consent process. The worker provides consent via 'Mara,' a proprietary bilingual voice intake agent. The customer at the work location signs a release before recording begins, and the data buyer signs the final license. To support this, Voco has developed a production-grade voice infrastructure that manages billing, compliance, bilingual capture, and analysis. The initial market focus is on career independent residential cleaners in Phoenix, Arizona, with pilot programs offering 30 hours of consented footage delivered to early-adopter clients.
