A pet insurance platform that covers alternative and holistic treatments for cats, while automatically redirecting a portion of premiums to fund pangolin conservation and anti-poaching efforts in Southeast Asia. We solve the problem of limited coverage for alternative pet care while creating a seamless way for cat owners to support endangered species.
The Wow Moment
A cat owner receives a push notification showing their cat, 'Whiskers,' just funded a real pangolin rescue operation—with a photo of the specific pangolin their pet's premium helped save that month, complete with GPS coordinates and rescue story. They see their beloved pet literally saving another species.

Launch with direct-to-consumer Instagram ads featuring cat-pangolin rescue stories.
AntForest
A smartwatch app that turns airline travelers into a global network of tree health monitors. The app uses ant colony optimization algorithms to guide users to specific trees near airports that need monitoring, creating efficient routes where each traveler collects small data points that, when combined like an ant colony, provide comprehensive forest health insights.
The Wow Moment
A traveler deplanes in Tokyo, glances at their Apple Watch, and sees a walking path that takes exactly 7 minutes to a specific 400-year-old cherry tree. They snap a photo, the app instantly analyzes leaf health and compares it to 50 other travelers' data from the same tree that month, revealing early signs of disease that local foresters verify and treat within days—saving a landmark tree that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
