LabOps

Health & Wellness, Legal, STEM & Education

Founded by an NYU Computer Science alum, LabOps is an AI-powered research compliance platform transforming how universities, hospitals, and life sciences organizations navigate regulatory workflows. Today, researchers spend 10–100+ hours per submission on fragmented systems, manual form-filling, and iterative back-and-forth with compliance teams – delaying critical scientific progress.

LabOps acts as an “AI Compliance Companion,” guiding researchers through IRB, DUA, and related submissions with intelligent questionnaires, automated form population, and recommendations based on federal standards (e.g., 45 CFR 46, HIPAA). Rather than replacing human oversight, LabOps ensures submissions are complete, accurate, and reviewer-ready – reducing delays, minimizing errors, and improving collaboration between researchers and compliance offices.

Built from firsthand experience in academic medical research at institutions like Harvard Medical School and Mass General Brigham, LabOps is designed to integrate into existing workflows while maintaining strict data privacy and security standards.

NeoLumin AI Consulting

Business Services, STEM & Education

NeoLumin AI Consulting is a practical AI solutions firm headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, helping small and mid-sized businesses and nonprofits turn AI curiosity into measurable operational impact. Founded in 2023 and led by MIT and NYU-educated co-founders with decades of combined experience in analytics, digital transformation, and engineering leadership, NeoLumin brings enterprise-grade AI practice to organizations typically underserved by large consultancies.

Our work spans four tightly integrated service lines: AI Development, AI Consulting, AI Training, and AI Speaking. Rather than splitting these across separate vendors, clients get strategy, build, and enablement in a single engagement. We design AI agents, automate complex workflows, advise leadership on high-impact AI opportunities, deliver corporate training on generative and multimodal AI, and speak at keynotes and executive forums on practical AI adoption.

What sets NeoLumin apart is our commitment to real business outcomes. We are solutions-agnostic, recommending the right tools for each client rather than pushing a preferred vendor. We communicate in plain English, not jargon. Clients work directly with senior principals, not a rotating bench of juniors. And ROI is a requirement, not a bonus.

Our CEO, Danica Tarin, is a LinkedIn Top AI Community Voice and serves on workforce development committees supporting AI adoption across Connecticut.

Reclamation Foods

Food & Beverage, Health & Wellness, Shopping & Retail

Reclamation Foods makes delicious foods rooted in culture, starting with an award-winning Korean-style bone broth. It is the only shelf-stable broth that jiggles when chilled, just like homemade and naturally rich in collagen.

Made with only two ingredients (bones and water) and unseasoned by design, our premium bone broths are made for cooking, sipping, and cultural versatility. Traditional methods and long cook times draw out collagen and marrow into a rich, milky white broth signature of this Korean style. Clean, savory, and deep in flavor, our broths come in three flavors - beef, chicken, and pork. They can replace water in any recipe, and they sip beautifully with salt and aromatics for a nourishing hug in a mug.

We source from grass-fed, pasture-raised, and regenerative farms in the Northeast, turning underutilized parts of the animal harvest into premium, nutrient-dense pantry staples. Our mission is to build a climate-positive food system through modern staples rooted in culture that nourish your body, reduce waste, and restore healthy soils.

LiveMore USA Inc.

Business Services

LiveMore is a leadership and team effectiveness partner that works with senior leadership teams to strengthen how they operate, align, and deliver results under pressure. We focus on the reality that even the most capable organizations often struggle not because of strategy, but because of how teams work together.

Our approach combines a proprietary TeamCulture diagnostic with facilitated leadership sessions to surface what is helping and what is getting in the way across five key areas: shared vision, role clarity, communication, cohesion, and performance. From there, we work directly with leadership teams to translate insights into a small number of clear operating commitments that improve alignment, speed of decision-making, and overall execution.

We have partnered with leadership teams across industries including technology, telecommunications, and professional services, supporting organizations such as Apple Japan, CBRE, NTT, and Beko. Our work is designed for executives leading complex, cross-functional teams who need to move faster, work better together, and navigate change effectively.

LiveMore leverages both in-person facilitation and technology to sustain impact beyond workshops, helping teams embed better ways of working into their day-to-day operations.

If you are leading a team through growth, transformation, or increased complexity, LiveMore helps ensure your team is not just aligned in theory, but operating effectively in practice.
