- Yubi Health
Health
The company operated from Phoenix, Arizona, and focused on developing a behavioral health application for the B2B market. The firm's core offering was the EMPWR app, a platform designed to provide affordable and accessible mental healthcare solutions for companies to offer their employees. This application utilized a patent-pending AI engine to deliver personalized recommendations, resources, and connected clinical support. The system was developed to stratify health risks and improve employee wellness and productivity. Yubi Health's business model was centered on a per-member-per-month subscription fee paid by self-funded employers, primarily targeting small to midsize companies with 250 to 10,000 employees. A beta version of the EMPWR app launched in January 2021 through a partnership with Vail Place, a Minnesota-based nonprofit providing recovery services for adults with mental illness. Following user feedback, an updated version, EMPWR app 2.0, was released in August 2021. The company initiated an equity crowdfunding campaign on the StartEngine platform in August 2021 to support its mission. Over its active period, Yubi Health raised a total of approximately $28.8K in funding through a seed round. According to industry data, the company ceased operations around July 2023. The company's stated vision was to shift the U.S. healthcare system from a reactive, sick-care model to one that is preventative, accessible, and affordable.

Zero Chaos Coffee operates as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business, providing a specialized coffee system aimed at professionals, busy households, and individuals in high-responsibility roles. The company's philosophy is centered on transforming a daily coffee routine into a deliberate ritual for achieving mental clarity and focus, rather than simply providing a caffeine boost. It is a veteran-owned business that emphasizes structure and purpose in its product offerings. The core of the company's product line is the 'Zero Series,' a collection of small-batch roasted coffees. Each blend is designed to support a specific mental state required throughout the day, effectively creating a "clarity system". The product range includes: 'ZERO LOGIC' for starting the day with a clean mental slate, 'ZERO FRICTION' as a 'daily driver' for sustained momentum, 'ZERO DISTRACTION' for intense, deep work, and 'ZERO NOISE' for a decaffeinated reset at the end of the day. This approach guides customers to choose a coffee based on their desired state of mind rather than traditional flavor profiles. In addition to its main coffee series, the company offers an 'Entry Series' with sample packs for new customers to experience the system without committing to a full bag. It has also expanded its offerings to include the 'Ember Series,' which consists of herbal teas and calming blends for evening relaxation, and other lines such as Line and Ember series. The business model appears to be based on direct online sales of its coffee, tea, and related merchandise like mugs. The company utilizes a transparent pricing structure and aims to build long-term customer loyalty, positioning itself as a default choice rather than just another option in the crowded coffee market.
