  StudySync

  Education

  StudySync operates as a digital-first educational technology company, providing a comprehensive English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum for students in grades 6-12. Both founders brought extensive experience from the EdTech sector, having previously created EDVantage Software, an early digital curriculum company that was sold to Riverdeep in 2001. The company's business model centers on selling its digital curriculum and platform to K-12 schools and districts. A significant milestone occurred in 2014 when StudySync entered an exclusive distribution partnership with McGraw Hill, a major educational publisher, to expand its reach in the U.S. market. This partnership combined StudySync's digital platform with McGraw Hill's instructional resources and sales network. In a further evolution, the parent company of StudySync, BookheadEd Learning, LLC, was acquired by Weld North Education (now Imagine Learning) in February 2021, integrating it into one of the largest digital education companies in the U.S. StudySync's core product is a flexible platform that can be implemented in classrooms with varying levels of technology. It offers a vast digital library of over 2,500 literary and informational texts. A key feature is the use of high-quality multimedia, including movie-trailer-like video previews (called SyncTV) for literary works, designed to pique student interest. The curriculum is structured around thematic units that include reading, writing, and critical thinking assignments aligned with educational standards. The platform facilitates anonymous peer-to-peer reviews to build collaborative skills and offers tools for teachers to customize units, assign work, and assess student progress. Differentiated instruction is supported through scaffolds, such as sentence frames and leveled texts, to accommodate all learners, including English Language Learners (ELL).

  Supurb

  Health

  Supurb operates in the medical cannabis delivery market, primarily serving patients in Phoenix, Arizona. The company connects patients with nearby dispensaries to facilitate the delivery of medical cannabis directly to their homes. To use the service, patients must have a valid Arizona medical card, which can be obtained through various certification centers partnered with Supurb, such as Green Leaf Doctors. The business model revolves around an on-demand delivery technology that streamlines the ordering and verification process, allowing patients to place orders via mobile devices, PCs, or tablets. Once an order is placed, it is sent to the dispensary for approval, and the patient receives a confirmation via SMS text. Supurb generates revenue by partnering with dispensaries and possibly charging a fee for the delivery service. The company is poised to expand its services to include adult-use cannabis delivery starting in early 2024. Supurb's offerings include products from its Timeless House of Brands, which features Timeless Vapes, NOIR, and Tumble. The company emphasizes quality and convenience, aiming to provide a seamless experience for its users.

  Syntax-Brillian

  Consumer electronics

  Syntax-Brillian Corporation was an American consumer electronics company formed in November 2005 from the merger of Syntax Groups Corporation and Brillian Corporation. The Tempe, Arizona-based company manufactured and marketed high-definition liquid crystal display (LCD) and liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) televisions under the brand name Ölevia. The merger was intended to combine Syntax's strength in the budget LCD TV market, with reported revenues of approximately $90 million in fiscal year 2005, and Brillian's LCoS microdisplay technology for rear-projection TVs. The company's business model relied on an Asian supply chain and an international distribution network to sell its Ölevia brand televisions through major retailers. In a move to diversify, Syntax-Brillian acquired the digital camera and camcorder seller Vivitar Corporation for $26 million in stock in November 2006. However, the company faced significant challenges. By October 2007, it announced the closure or divestiture of its LCoS manufacturing operations to focus on the more promising LCD television market. Syntax-Brillian's rapid decline culminated in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on July 8, 2008. The filing followed a period of missed sales targets, accounting issues, leadership changes, and a more than 90% drop in stock value. The company's business had eroded due to loss of confidence from suppliers and vendors, along with a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inquiry. In 2009, the company's assets, including the Ölevia brand name, were sold to Emerson Radio Corp. The Vivitar brand was sold separately to Sakar International, Inc.

  TempusDirect

  Health, Fintech

  TempusDirect provides cost management solutions tailored for the Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance industry, with a specific focus on bodily injury medical bills. The company's core service involves repricing third-party medical bills through a suite of solutions that include direct-to-provider negotiations, bill validation for fraud, and live benchmarking. It operates by verifying and negotiating discounts on claimant medical bills with healthcare providers on behalf of insurers. This allows insurance adjusters to concentrate on the claimant's needs rather than on administrative communication with medical providers. Greg has a background as a general manager and entrepreneur with experience at regional and Fortune 100 companies, while Josh is an experienced product and innovation leader with skills in process improvement, technology strategy, and business development. TempusDirect's business model is collaborative, aiming to create a streamlined reimbursement process for patients, healthcare providers, and insurers. The company partners with other major platforms in the P&C insurance economy, such as CCC Intelligent Solutions and Guidewire. These integrations establish a more unified workflow for insurers, allowing them to manage medical bill reviews, refer bills to Tempus for various services, and apply adjustments seamlessly within their existing systems. The services offered through these partnerships include collateral source validation, live benchmarking, and access to direct-to-provider networks and negotiations. The technology is designed to simplify and enhance communication throughout the claims lifecycle, automate correspondence, and generate personalized, data-rich communications.
