  Whiskey Del Bac

  Event tech

  Whiskey Del Bac operates as a craft distillery rooted in the Sonoran Desert, specializing in American Single Malt whiskies that reflect its regional identity. The concept originated when Stephen's wife, Elaine, suggested using mesquite smoke—a byproduct of Stephen's custom furniture business, Arroyo Design—to dry malted barley, akin to how peat is used in Scotland. This inspiration led Stephen, with a background in furniture design and environmental education, to experiment with distillation, eventually formalizing the venture with Amanda, who moved back from New York to help build the business. The business model centers on the in-house production and sale of a distinct portfolio of whiskies. Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer sales via their distillery, an online store with a shipping partner for out-of-state orders, and a distribution network of retailers, bars, and restaurants. A key differentiator is the use of mesquite wood to smoke the barley, a process encapsulated by their slogan "mesquited, not peated," which imparts a unique Southwestern flavor profile. The company malts its own barley on-site, a practice uncommon among U.S. producers, and ages the whiskey in the arid desert climate. The name "Whiskey Del Bac" itself pays homage to the region, combining English, Spanish, and the native Tohono O'odham language to mean "Whiskey of the Place Where the River Reappears in the Sand." The product line is anchored by three core offerings: Dorado, their flagship mesquite-smoked single malt; Classic, an unsmoked single malt modeled after Speyside Scotches; and Old Pueblo, an un-aged version of the mesquited whiskey. Beyond these, Whiskey Del Bac produces limited annual releases, such as the Global Cask Collection finished in casks like Pedro Ximénez Sherry and Calvados, and special Distiller's Cut releases. The company has received numerous accolades, including multiple gold medals from the American Craft Spirit Association in 2024 and a 90-point rating for Dorado from Whisky Advocate. Following a Series A funding round of $3.15 million in August 2023, the distillery has been scaling up production with plans for a new, larger facility.

  ZelosDx

  Health

  ZelosDx, Inc. is a Tucson, Arizona-based neurodiagnostics company developing blood testing products designed to accelerate research and drug development for brain diseases. Her career includes over fifteen years in the southern Arizona biotech startup community and a 20-year tenure at Baxter, where she held senior management roles, including General Manager of the diagnostic business unit. The leadership team also includes Dr. Uwe Müller, VP of Product Development, who brings 32 years of experience in industrial research and product development at companies like Banyan Biomarkers and Abbott Molecular.ZelosDx is built around its proprietary "WINDOW INTO THE BRAIN™" technology. This approach is based on the discovery that phagocytic cells, which clear debris from neurodegeneration in the brain, re-enter the bloodstream. By analyzing these cells from a simple blood sample, the technology offers what the company describes as a 'liquid biopsy' of the brain. This provides a minimally invasive and cost-effective method for detecting brain-derived biomarkers. Since the phagocytes in the blood have a short lifespan, their contents can indicate recent damage, serving as a marker for active neurodegeneration. This patented technology provides researchers with a tool to gain insights into pathological changes in the brain, addressing a critical need for better diagnostic tools in a market challenged by failed drug trials and delayed diagnoses.The company's business model focuses on providing these novel blood-testing tools to accelerate breakthrough discoveries. ZelosDx has received support for its work, including a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2021 for $255,000 to advance its biomarker research.

  ZPortals is a website plugin that creates unified, customizable portals for businesses using the Zoho suite of applications. It functions as a bridge, connecting data from over 10 Zoho apps—including CRM, Desk, Books, WorkDrive, and Sign—directly to a portal on the company's own WordPress website. This allows a business's clients, vendors, or affiliates to have a single, password-protected point of access for various interactions. The company was developed by a Premium Zoho Partner to address the need for a consolidated client portal, moving beyond Zoho's native, single-product portals which require separate logins for each application. The CEO of ZPortals is John-Mark Bantock. The platform is designed to streamline communication and improve efficiency by offering a self-service hub for end-users. Customers can perform a range of actions such as updating their account information, paying invoices from Zoho Books, submitting support tickets through Zoho Desk, securely sharing files via Zoho WorkDrive, and electronically signing documents with Zoho Sign. The portal's interface can be customized with various themes, color adjustments, and custom CSS to match the company's branding. ZPortals serves a wide range of industries, including accounting firms, legal services, construction, educational institutions, and medical clinics. Its business model is based on a paid extension with a 30-day free trial.
