CACTIVATE
Cactivate is a plug and play autonomous marketing solution for the 400M small and midsize businesses worldwide that cannot afford to hire an agency or do not have the resources to run effective marketing campaigns.
FISHTAIL
Trade finance is globally underinvested because lenders can’t use supply chain data to automate their backend operations. Because of the manual effort required, large lenders tend to have a 1:3 or 1:4 ratio of sales to backend individuals, and if a new customer can’t generate $300k in revenue they will usually not be onboarded. Fishtail matches lenders with borrowers by digitizing, automating, and de-risking the trade finance process. With flexible, API first, cloud based architecture, Fishtail is the operating system for global trade that digitizes documents; automates the trade finance back office; de-risks individual trades through ML-based credit and underwriting technology; and matches the right trades to the right lenders
FLEXXBOTICS
Collaborative robots have opened the door to automate more intermittent manufacturing jobs. These low volume, high mix manufacturing jobs require significantly more changeover—and the high degree of these changeovers and the complexity required to execute each changeover limits robot utilization. The lower robot utilization leads to longer payback periods and less overall investment in new automation. Flexx Connect is a hardware and software robotic platform aimed at providing robot productivity tools, holistic robotic work cell data analyzation and simplified digital robot work flows to help manufacturers with job changeover. The platform uniquely pairs, configures, and extracts information from robotic work cells by way of patented Bluetooth mesh robot communication.
PHIMENTUM
Phimentum is making quality orthodontics far more feasible to the 15 million American children in need of braces. Close to 11.5 million children don’t end up with braces, and that’s often because of cost and proximity to an orthodontist. Phimentum addresses both factors with their service, OrthoTx, which gives general dentists what they need to treat these patients safely and confidently. As a result, dentists get a new, high-profit revenue stream and patients save money and time, bringing everyone a nice smile.
THE MCCARTHY(S) VENTURE MENTORING NETWORK
Northeastern has a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem with 300+ ventures forming and launching every year. Jeff McCarthy, DMSB ’77, and University Distinguished Professor Daniel J. McCarthy generously created the Daniel J. McCarthy(s) Venture Mentoring Network with the goal of making these Northeastern ventures most successful. Their vision for the Venture Mentoring Network is to build a university-wide network of experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts to provide high quality mentorship to student, faculty, and alumni ventures from all of Northeastern’s colleges and disciplines.
