  Storybyte

  Music, Dating

  Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Storybyte was a photo-sharing application that operated in the social content and mobile application software market. Storybyte's core offering was a mobile app designed to automatically curate photos from a user's camera roll into chronological, narrative-driven stories. The application would group photos by date or location, suggesting potential stories for the user to edit and share. Users could customize these suggested stories by adding text, rearranging images, or removing photos. The final product was a sleek slideshow that could be shared on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, or more privately via email and SMS. The service aimed to solve the problem of digital photos remaining forgotten on a user's device by transforming them into shareable experiences. Initially, the app focused on helping families share stories, particularly with less tech-savvy relatives. The business model intended to monetize by incorporating branded campaigns, allowing companies to create their own stories within the platform. Future development plans included features like bulk photo filters and the option to purchase physical keepsakes like photo books from the created stories. Storybyte secured $125,000 in a seed funding round on July 3, 2014. The company ceased operations in June 2015 and is now considered out of business.

  Strolleria

  Strolleria, LLC operates as a multi-channel retailer in the specialty baby gear market, focusing on premium products. They launched a physical showroom in Scottsdale, Arizona, in June 2016, concurrently with an e-commerce store, to address a gap in the Phoenix area for a specialized stroller retailer. The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer (B2C), targeting parents who prioritize brand image and high-quality products and seek a high-touch shopping experience. Revenue is generated through the sale of high-end baby products, including a wide array of strollers (single, double, travel, and jogging), car seats for various stages, and other essentials like high chairs, cribs, and playards. Strolleria carries products from sought-after brands such as Bugaboo, Nuna, Stokke, and UPPAbaby, which are often available in limited quantities elsewhere. The company differentiated itself not just by its product selection but through a commitment to personalized customer service. This focus on expert guidance and superior service became a cornerstone of the brand. In January 2022, a majority stake in Strolleria was acquired by Weave Growth Partners, a Silicon Valley-based private investment firm, and Peninsula Capital Partners, a private equity firm from Detroit. This acquisition aimed to leverage the significant shift towards e-commerce in the parenting category and apply a technology-enabled playbook to foster growth. More recently, in February 2025, the company's intellectual property and website were acquired by Bambi Baby. Under this new management, Strolleria continues to operate as a separate e-commerce store, with its core mission of providing educational resources and expert advice to parents remaining intact.

The business model was centered around a direct-to-consumer approach, generating revenue through the sale of its own line of IoT devices—including fitness trackers and wireless scales—and personalized, non-GMO, vegetarian, and allergen-free vitamins and protein blends. The company also targeted the corporate wellness sector with a subscription-based application, STYR Life, priced per employee per month.

The app's proprietary HDI Engine™ would analyze user data—such as activity, sleep, hydration, and food intake—and cross-reference it with a database of 250,000 scientific studies to identify nutritional deficiencies. Based on this analysis, the platform would recommend and facilitate the purchase of tailor-made supplements. While the company offered its own hardware, the platform was device-agnostic, allowing users to sync data from other popular fitness trackers like Fitbit and Garmin.

  Sure Prep Learning

  Education

  Sure Prep Learning operates in the private tutoring and educational services market, offering academic support to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Dodge's background as an English teacher in international locations like Argentina and West Africa informed his approach to personalized education. The venture gained initial traction after placing second in a university business plan competition, which provided the confidence to launch the company. The firm's business model is twofold, encompassing both direct-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) channels. The B2C segment provides private tutoring services to students, with sessions conducted either online or in the client's home. These services are built around customized learning plans tailored to each student's needs. A key service feature is a proprietary tutor-matching process that pairs students with educators based on teaching styles, learning preferences, personality, and even common interests to foster a strong rapport. In the B2B market, Sure Prep Learning partners with school districts to deliver a range of programs. These include after-school tutoring, blended learning solutions, and Supplemental Educational Services (SES) aimed at supporting students in at-risk and low-income communities. The company manages program implementation for schools, including staffing, student assessment, and progress reporting. The curriculum covers all core K-12 subjects, such as math, reading, and writing, alongside specialized preparation for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and PSAT. A core component of the company's identity is its social mission, which focuses on providing educational access to underserved communities. This led to the creation of the Prepology Foundation, a separate entity that offers free or reduced-price tutoring and college counseling.
