- Birdiescope
Sports
Birdiescope offers a mobile application for golfers designed to enhance course strategy and player performance. The app's primary function is providing golfers with high-definition, 4K drone video flyovers of every hole on a participating course, granting a bird's-eye view to better inform shot decisions. Available for both iOS and Android devices, the platform integrates several features to assist players during a round. Beyond the 4K video previews, it includes an integrated GPS for accurate shot distance measurement, a digital scorecard for tracking personal and group scores, and a tool for monitoring handicap progression and other personal statistics over time. The application aims to give both amateur and experienced golfers an advantage by allowing them to visualize the course layout, hazards, and green complexities before playing a stroke, similar to how a professional might prepare. The company operates with a business model that involves direct collaboration with golf course management teams. It offers services to courses that include creating the drone footage and listing the course within the app. This suggests a B2B2C approach, where the course is the initial client and the platform is then offered to the golfers who play there. Options for business partnerships include white-label versions of the application and other drone-related services.

- Blades Golf Lounge
Sports
Blades Golf Lounge is a premium indoor golf facility located in the Uptown Phoenix area of Arizona. Hubbell established the lounge to fill a perceived gap in the Phoenix market for a facility that combines high-end golf technology with a distinct personality, moving away from a corporate feel. The name "Blades" is a reference to blade irons in golf, which are known for their precision and are favored by skilled players, reflecting the lounge's focus on elite performance. The facility provides members with 24/7 keyless access, allowing for play at any time. It operates on a business model centered around founding memberships, offered at monthly or annual rates, which grant unlimited golf access. For a limited time, the lounge also offers hourly "pay as you go" rates to attract new customers, with the plan to become an exclusive members-only club once a membership quota is met. Bookings are managed through the Birrdi system, which sends an access code via text. The core of Blades Golf Lounge's offering is its Foresight Falcon simulators, the same camera-based technology used by professionals on the PGA, LPGA, and LIV tours. These simulators provide comprehensive data on ball speed, launch angle, spin rates, club path, and impact location, allowing players to use their own golf balls for accurate feedback. The virtual course software includes GS Pro and FSX Play. The lounge's interior design blends retro-modern aesthetics with influences from Scottish golf clubs and features a semi-private lounge environment. While the facility itself does not have a bar, its location next to the Joy Lush Club bar offers convenient access to refreshments. Blades also plans to foster a community by hosting events such as watch parties for major tournaments and member competitions.

- Blue House Coffee
Food, Home & living
Blue House Coffee operates as a specialty coffee roaster and retailer with a multi-channel business model. The venture began in Flagstaff, Arizona, where the founders started roasting coffee in a blue house, which inspired the company's name. Later that year, they relocated to Tempe, utilizing a custom-built, 400-pound bicycle cart to sell cold-brew coffee, aiming to turn street corners into social hubs. While at Arizona State University, the founders secured an Edson Entrepreneurial grant, which facilitated the establishment of direct relationships with coffee farmers and the expansion of their mobile coffee cart fleet. The company has also established its own coffee farm in Costa Rica to experiment with cultivation and support the local community. A significant milestone was the opening of their first brick-and-mortar café in 2018 at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus. Blue House Coffee's revenue is generated through several streams: direct-to-consumer sales at its café and farmers' market stalls, a nationwide coffee bean subscription service, and a local 'milk-man' style cold-brew growler delivery service in the Phoenix metro area. The subscription model was notably expanded in mid-2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company also engages in wholesale partnerships, supplying beans and their kegged cold-brew to local restaurants and businesses. They were the first in Arizona to serve nitrogen-pressurized cold-brew on tap. A key part of their operation is direct sourcing, with the company purchasing over 50% of its beans directly from farmers in more than 18 countries, ensuring unique offerings and fair partnerships. The company is also committed to sustainability, with goals to be carbon-neutral, using solar power for its roasting facility, and offsetting carbon emissions from shipping and packaging.

- Blue Luci
Media, Enterprise software
The company originated from the team's experience as technology consultants, where they repeatedly observed operational inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems, manual processes, and siloed data within media organizations. This led to the development of a unified platform to streamline and optimize content operations. Blue Lucy's flagship product is the Blue Lucy Asset Manager (BLAM), an end-to-end content supply chain platform. BLAM provides comprehensive asset management and workflow orchestration through a web-based interface. The platform is built on a distributed microservices architecture, which allows for scalability, resilience, and customization. This structure enables deployment in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid model, allowing clients to integrate existing systems while migrating to cloud-driven operations. The company's software is designed to serve broadcasters, content owners, producers, and corporate marketing teams by unifying their workflows, providing visibility across the content lifecycle, and automating processes from content acquisition to distribution. The business model is product-led, focusing on the BLAM platform and a newer product, BOLT, which provides accessible content access. Blue Lucy operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) license package, which includes automatic software updates. They also offer bespoke development and consultancy services to create custom connectors for legacy or in-house systems, ensuring that clients' technology estates do not become fragmented. In 2024, the company introduced Lucia, an AI assistant integrated into the BLAM platform, designed to lower the barrier to automation for non-technical users through conversational text and voice prompts.
