Meridian
A collaboration platform that transforms remote teams' time zone spread into a competitive advantage. Meridian uses the 'sun' across your team to create a 24-hour workflow where each timezone owns a phase of the work cycle, displaying team energy and progress in a beautiful, peacock-inspired dashboard that shows who's 'awake' and driving momentum forward.
The Wow Moment
A team lead opens Meridian and sees their global team visualized as a flowing wheel of sunlight - at a glance they see their London developer just handed off to their Singapore engineer, who's now pushing to production, while their San Francisco designer is waking up and will pick up the review - all flowing like a seamless relay race they can watch in real-time.

YoMills
A kinetic micro-hydro generator that uses yoyo-like flywheel mechanics to capture and store energy from any rotational motion - bike wheels, wind turbines, or water flow - creating a universal energy adapter for off-grid communities. The system converts intermittent motion into steady power for water purification and device charging, solving the energy storage problem that prevents renewables from being reliable in developing regions.
The Wow Moment
A rural village elder watches a simple yoyo-shaped device attached to a bicycle wheel slowly spin on its own, hours after the rider stopped, while simultaneously powering a water filter that's been running continuously for three days - no sun, no wind, no grid needed.

Oxystock
A smart home aging and fermentation device that uses precision oxygen control to turn affordable meats into dry-aged steak quality and transforms tough vegetables like artichokes into buttery delicacies. It solves the problem that restaurant-quality dry aging and fermentation techniques are inaccessible to home cooks due to complexity, space requirements, and high cost.
The Wow Moment
After 14 days in Oxystock, a user slices into a $12 grocery store steak that now has the deep umami crust and tender texture of a $90 dry-aged restaurant steak, then serves artichoke hearts that taste like they've been braised for hours—achieving in their tiny apartment kitchen what typically requires a professional walk-in cooler and years of culinary training.

The Wow Moment
A busy urban professional walks their dog to a sleek, temple-like structure on the corner. The dog enters, the smart door opens, and inside is a serene, clean space. After the dog relieves themselves, the owner watches through a window as the waste silently drops into the first chamber, then the nest rotates and seals it into a deeper layer—completely odorless.
