Perch
A marketplace that connects property owners with distinctive riverside structures like gazebos, towers, and elevated platforms to event planners seeking unique, unforgettable venues. We solve the problem of finding and booking scenic, elevated outdoor spaces for intimate gatherings that have wow factor - spaces that exist but are impossible to find on traditional event platforms.
The Wow Moment
An event planner searches for a 40th birthday venue and finds a private gazebo perched on a river bluff with 270-degree views, books it instantly, and guests arrive to find champagne set up with golden hour hitting the water just right - the kind of hidden gem that usually only exists for people who own the property.

The Wow Moment
You pick up the glowing sword hilt, slash through the air, and feel 12 muscles fire simultaneously through synchronized EMS pulses - your living room becomes a dojo where every sword strike is a perfectly calculated workout.

Reclaim
A precision land restoration platform that combines satellite mapping (sextant), bioremediation protocols using specially-cultivated bacteria (soap), and assisted natural regeneration techniques inspired by axolotl-like ecosystem resilience to turn contaminated industrial sites into thriving, developable land.
