  • ShandeeLand is a media entity centered around its namesake podcast, which began in 2020. The ShandeeLand podcast explores topics such as food allergies, business, and life moments through interviews with a variety of guests. The show is hosted by Shandee Chernow, who is also the founder and CEO of CertiStar, a software company that helps the hospitality industry manage food allergen information. Chernow's personal experience with the onset of life-threatening food allergies in her late 20s was the impetus for founding CertiStar in 2017. Frustrated by the anxiety of dining out, she developed a software solution to provide clear, fact-based menu information for diners with allergies, aiming to reduce risks for both customers and restaurants. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, CertiStar's MenuStar software allows restaurant staff to quickly identify safe menu options for customers based on their specific allergies. The ShandeeLand podcast serves as a platform to discuss these themes in more depth. Chernow interviews guests from diverse backgrounds, including chefs, restaurateurs, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and food allergy innovators. The conversations aim to inspire and motivate listeners by sharing success stories and life experiences. Episodes have featured topics ranging from the operational side of the restaurant industry to navigating travel with severe food allergies and legal advocacy for the food allergy community. The podcast often highlights the work of other advocates and entrepreneurs in the food allergy space, creating a resource for the community.

  • ShiftUp

    Marketing, Enterprise software

    ShiftUp is a Phoenix-based technology company providing an AI-powered sales intelligence platform designed to transform how enterprise sales teams operate. The advent of advanced AI, like ChatGPT, in 2022 provided the final component to automate and scale their vision. The platform integrates natively with Salesforce, with plans for broader CRM integration, and automates critical go-to-market tasks such as account research, opportunity identification, stakeholder mapping, and strategic planning. By analyzing an organization's data, it surfaces hidden revenue opportunities in dormant accounts and delivers prioritized, actionable insights directly to sales representatives within their existing CRM environment. This approach is designed to make sellers more productive from their first week, addressing challenges like high employee turnover and the erosion of institutional knowledge in sales organizations. The company does not simply overlay AI onto existing tools but instead re-architects the entire sales workflow to be more efficient and intelligent. The capital is allocated to accelerate product development, enhance customer success programs, and build its brand presence. The company targets enterprise clients in sectors including telecommunications, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing.

  • Sight Sciences, Inc. operates as a medical technology company with a clear focus on addressing the underlying causes of highly prevalent eye diseases. Sight Sciences has a dual focus, targeting both glaucoma and dry eye disease, two of the largest segments in the eyecare market. This strategy diversifies its market approach and addresses significant unmet needs in patient care. The company's financial model is characterized by a high gross margin, reported at 83% in the third quarter of 2024, though this is offset by substantial investments in sales, marketing, and research and development to drive market adoption and continued product development.Sight Sciences offers two primary products: the OMNI® Surgical System and the TearCare® System. The OMNI Surgical System is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device used for canaloplasty to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. The TearCare System is designed to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a principal cause of evaporative dry eye disease. A key milestone was the FDA 510(k) clearance for the OMNI Surgical System in 2018, followed by clearance for the TearCare System in 2019, which enabled commercial launches into these respective markets. The company achieved another significant step in 2021 with its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on Nasdaq, raising substantial capital to fund commercial expansion and further research.
