Introducing The Highest-Performing Cohort Of Hackathon Prototypes Turned Startup

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2017

AngelHack, the world’s largest hacker community announces the top startups from their pre-accelerator (the HACKcelerator) who will demo at this year’s Global Demo Day (GDD) on November 2nd, 2017. At the Wilsey Center for Opera in San Francisco, AngelHack will showcase 16 startups from their most recent and highest-performing cohort yet. Each startup will pitch to over 150 investors and judges such as Chandini Ammineni, Partner at 500 Startups; Editor-At-Large of TechCrunch, Josh Constine; and Thomas Korte, Founder of AngelPad. Other guests include representatives from Techstars, Women Startup Lab, Refinery, Google Launchpad Accelerator, and more who have already promised guaranteed investment or interviews for the promising companies.

Global Demo Day is an annual event that showcases the top one percent of tech talent sourced from hackathons globally. This year, the startups are from all over the world including cities such as: Austin, Barcelona, Bogota, Cincinnati, Jaipur, London, Shenzhen, Los Angeles, and more. Their business ideas range from Blockchain platforms for millennials, augmented reality apps for businesses, IoT and hardware devices, and a tech for good San Francisco-based company that is working on a platform for homeless shelters to be more efficient. A few more notable startups are:

Goin: Goin is a blockchain enabled platform that encourages millennials to save and invest.

SolarIoT: Through the use of solar panels and a cryptocurrency token exchange, users are able to invest in solar panel projects, transfer and store energy.

TeamUp: a WeChat integrated app that helps people get to know each other and find partners in a community.

Delfinite: a consumer insights company that leverages voice interface devices to connect companies with their customers through Amazon Alexa.

“This cohort is absolutely amazing and undeniably of our strongest ones yet. We have two high school kids working on a blockchain solution for solar energy, several of our teams that have already secured local partners or customers, meaning they are either pulling in revenue or now in full Beta mode; not to mention that we have a hardware device that could revolutionize the beverage industry. The talent is seriously just mind blowing to see,” said Adi Abili, Managing Director or the HACKcelerator. Sabeen Ali, CEO of AngelHack added, “our vision is to enable a global community of innovators by combining the funding, speed and scale of Silicon Valley with the passion and knowledge of our global community. Given the right tools and resources these entrepreneurs are creating next-generation technology that is going to revolutionize every industry on earth. This is our best performing cohort and I couldn’t be more excited for the bright future of our startups.”

Through the HACKcelerator program, AngelHack has accelerated 122 startups and has a portfolio valuation of $70 million. 52 percent of all active companies go on to raise funding, while 31 percent get accepted into a later stage accelerator such as 500 Startups, YCombinator, or Techstars. In past years, these startups continue to catch the attention of investors, and advance even after demo day. A few years back, SlickLogin and Appetas, were acquired by Google within months of GDD. Another, Airpost.io was acquired by Box last year, and more recently, SocialCapital from 2015 was accepted into Techstars, raising $150,000 in seed funding. Others such as Earny.co have been accepted into Science Inc. raising $1.3 million. While team Osper was able to raise over $10 million in funds, and Testlio, a team from Estonia, raised $6.25 million just this year.

Metal Innovations Inc. is pleased to announce that it has secured approval from Transport Canada Civil Aviation Department for its Cessna 208 and 208B Caravan Reset Program.

Aurora, Oregon (PRWEB) October 10, 2017

With numerous Canadian Cessna Caravan Operators facing 20k hour total time concerns, Metal Innovations Inc. is pleased to announce that it has secured approval from Transport Canada Civil Aviation Department for its Cessna 208 and 208B Caravan Reset Program. This approval is available for viewing on the Transport Canada NICO webpage. The program was previously approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as Supplemental Type Certification (STC) #SA02549SE.

Cessna maintenance inspection requirements significantly increase at 20,000 hours of total time, then again every 5,000 thereafter. These intensive inspections take hundreds of man hours to complete and can cost an operator hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs and lost revenue due to aircraft downtime. The new Cessna 208 Special Inspection Document (SID) Reset program provides operators a cost-effective solution to mitigate costly downtime brought on by the substantial inspection schedule associated with aging aircraft concerns.

“Our goal is to provide all of our Caravan customers the ability to continue cost effective operations past the 20k milestone,” Said Kim Wilmes, CEO. “The Transport Canada approval is definitely a key component in achieving our objective.”

“Transport Canada’s approval is a significant step toward allowing us to offer our 20k Reset option to all of our customers regardless of location,” Stated Craig Wilmes, COO.

Metal Innovations is now accepting reservations for the Cessna 208 and 208B Caravan Reset Program. Please contact a representative to schedule your time slot today.

In a continuing effort to remove barriers to discovery and access for engineers, business professionals, students and instructors, SAE International has made the SAE MOBILUS technical resource platform accessible without a login.

WARRENDALE, Pa. (PRWEB) October 10, 2017

In a continuing effort to remove barriers to discovery and access for engineers, business professionals, students and instructors, SAE International has made the SAE MOBILUS technical resource platform accessible without a login. Abstracts of each of the 226,000+ SAE standards, journal articles, magazine article, technical papers, and eBooks included in the platform are now available for anyone to explore regardless of whether they are SAE MOBILUS subscribers.

“We built SAE MOBILUS to help engineers be more productive, to help them stop searching for resources so they can devote more time to doing what they do best: building solutions,” said Frank Menchaca, Chief Product Officer for SAE International. “By making the resources discoverable in the first place they search, SAE is giving subscribers and non-subscribers alike an easier way to find the full breadth of SAE technical resources.”

Anyone who visits the SAE MOBILUS technical resource platform will be able to view abstracts and download content like magazine articles at no charge. This is enabled by the transition from a hard paywall — in which a non-subscriber is halted from any platform — to a soft paywall — in which a non-subscriber is prevented from accessing the full-text individual premium pieces.

When users reach the abstract for the sought content, they are presented with an option to “Check My Access!”, which enables them to attempt to log into the platform or be provided with purchase options. As many SAE MOBILUS subscriptions are purchased on an enterprise level, some engineers are unaware that they have access to the content within the platform. The “Check My Access!” button routes these users to log into the platform which helps technical professionals and scholars take advantage of the resources available to them while enabling institutions to derive maximum value from their subscriptions by driving platform usage.

Non-subscribers can now view the abstracts and metadata of all content within the platform and utilize platform features including in-platform annotation, intuitive search functionality, and access to complimentary content.

SAE International is a global association committed to being the ultimate knowledge source for the engineering profession. By uniting over 127,000 engineers and technical experts, we drive knowledge and expertise across a broad spectrum of industries. We act on two priorities: encouraging a lifetime of learning for mobility engineering professionals and setting the standards for industry engineering. We strive for a better world through the work of our charitable arm, the SAE Foundation, which helps fund programs like A World in Motion® and the Collegiate Design Series™.

The company also announced that it had achieved its Qualified Integrated Resellers (QIR) certification from the PCI Data Security Council.

According to Healthcare Informatics, 34.5 percent of all security breaches are within the healthcare industry. This industry is also one of the ones hit the hardest by hacking, phishing, and skimming attacks.

Anyone familiar with HIPPA knows that HIPPA compliance is very complex, it is our job at CenPOS to simplify this process and develop business solutions to address these risks and ensure that our clients' data is secure at all times”, commented Jorge Fernandez CenPOS’ Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We provide a unique combination of solutions to the healthcare industry not found anywhere else under one roof with our validated Point-to-Point encryption, HIPPA attestation, and QIR. Risk comes in many forms today and the cost associated with risk mitigation tools and compliance is very expensive. Our all in one solution makes it very affordable for our clients to implement and maintain compliance”, added Mr. Fernandez.

With the healthcare industry being a constant target for hackers of all levels, it’s important for practitioners and facilities to focus on security solutions. CenPOS offers layered security solutions that deliver a secure and robust payment architecture. It enables those within the industry to focus on providing excellence to their patients. CenPOS will manage the day-to-day payment operations focus on security and compliance.

Tenzing Partnership Accelerates EnterWorks Cloud for Content Offerings, Providing Highly Scalable and Optimized Cloud and Remotely Managed Services in a Low Cost Model

Sterling, VA (PRWEB) October 11, 2017

EnterWorks, a leading provider of Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM) solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Tenzing™, a leading provider of ecommerce and master data management managed services. Through the relationship, EnterWorks customers will have access to a series of rich support services offered by Tenzing, including: Application Management and Monitoring (available 24/7 and including integration monitoring), Real-time scaling solutions, and Best-of-breed security services. These services, coupled with the deep expertise in Commerce solutions like Oracle® Commerce, SAP Hybris, Intershop® and Magento®, provide EnterWorks customers an end-to-end solution from content to customer.

Both Tenzing solutions are designed to give clients greater flexibility through cloud-based and remotely managed services that are cost-effective, highly scalable and optimize the performance of the EnterWorks environment. Tenzing, a System Integrator (SI), was a sponsor at the EnterWorks 2017 Engage User Conference last month in Nashville, TN.

As the explosion of content puts increasing pressure on companies to provide compelling and fresh content to their customers, manufacturer brands and wholesalers are embracing the need for collaborative content with retailers and other trading partners. Such collaboration often occurs in the cloud and requires both secure and agile interactions to keep with customer-demand for rich, accurate, and persuasive content. The EnterWorks and Tenzing partnership provides the tools and services for companies to build out an agile collaboration network at scale with great flexibility as marketplaces and customer demands evolve. By implementing a PIM foundation with a robust product content capability, manufacturers are equipped to transform their product, images, videos, brands and other marketing assets and syndicate to distributors and direct sellers and retailers, who in turn can quickly onboard products into sector and customer specific catalogs while continuously enriching the product content for their customers.

“Tenzing has deep PIM and MDM application hosting and services expertise with manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that aligns well with our focus on Cloud for Content through B2B2C collaboration,” said Rick Chavie, CEO of EnterWorks. “Companies now compete on content as much as commerce capabilities and we are pleased to work with a team that will accelerate our cloud and managed services offerings.”

Greg Wong, Chief Revenue Officer for Tenzing added: “We have listened to both partners and customers during the past year and have learned that a pure Software-as-a-Service or Cloud approach is not for everyone. Many clients have made significant investments in their Commerce platforms and have not yet seen the returns they forecasted. Tenzing wants to help these customers extend the life of their investments. In addition, the majority of these same customers have expressed the need for a solution to acquire, manage and ensure the quality of their content before publishing to their commerce solution. This is where EnterWorks fits in”. 

The EnterWorks multi-domain (product domain plus others such as customer, brand, location, and digital asset) approach enables a single view of content for businesses, trading partners, and customers across channels. EnterWorks’ unique B2B2C collaboration platform extends Product Information Management (PIM) with workflow and a vendor portal for advanced omni-channel commerce. 

About EnterWorks Holding Company

EnterWorks® Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM) solution enables companies to acquire, manage and transform product information into persuasive content that drives higher sales and new competitive strengths through e-commerce Web, mobile, print and various electronic channels. Services offered include: Master Data Management, Product Information Management, Dynamic Data Modeling, Workflow & Collaboration, Syndication & Publishing, Digital Asset Management, Geographic Localization, Portal Content Exchange, and Digital Channel Accelerators.

First-to-Market Autonomous GroBox Makes Indoor Herb and Cannabis Gardening Effortless

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2017

Cloudponics, the intelligent IoT-supported at-home hydroponics system, today announced that its second generation GroBox, is immediately available to consumers nationwide. The fully autonomous and self-sustaining hydroponics grow system for growing medicinal plants and vegetables indoors can be easily controlled from a smartphone. Here’s a link to a Livestream of the GroBox fully automated grow system.

The GroBox intelligently monitors and manages multiple variables such as air temperature, nutrients, humidity, water flow, airflow, light schedule and pH balance in order to create and sustain the optimal conditions for consistent, predictable, and repeatable yields. The GroBox can be paired with the Cloudponics app for 24/7/365 oversight and can run for up to 3 weeks before a water refill.

Whether for legal recreational or medicinal use, the GroBox is simple yet flexible enough that anyone from a beginner to an experienced grower can cultivate their own high-yielding, high quality cannabis plants in about three months' time from the convenience, comfort and safety of their home. By becoming the first to market with GroBox units ready for immediate purchase, Cloudponics solidifies its leadership position in the indoor/home gardening sector.

The GroBox can be used to grow a variety of plants and produce, however the system's current setup has been designed specifically for the unique needs of cannabis growers, with special features designed to ensure the security and discretion of your plants, such as an odor filter,app controlled door lock and lights specifically designed for growing cannabis.

“There’s a growing trend in the U.S. towards the legalization of cannabis, whether for recreational or medicinal purposes,” said Cloudponics founder, Pepijn van der Krogt. “It should come as no surprise then that both nutritional and medicinal gardens are blooming indoors whether growing arugula to bok choy, cilantro to cannabis clean fresh produce will be available to plant, pick and consume regularly with our GroBox system.”

Currently, there are 29 states, plus the District of Columbia, where cannabis is legal for medicinal use. During last year’s election, voters in California, Massachusetts, Nevada and Maine approved recreational marijuana, while Florida, North Dakota, Arkansas and Montana passed medical marijuana measures.

Cloudponics also has a professional grade GroPro controller that allows the user to control a grow room or grow tent to remotely monitor and automate hydroponic indoor grows with nutrient dosing, pH sensoring and climate controls.

“Gone are the days of constantly checking on your plants.

Technology Company Aims to Be National Leader in Innovative Consumer Recycling

South Portland, ME (PRWEB) October 11, 2017

CLYNK has received a $22.5 Thousand, one-year grant, from the Maine Technology Institute (MTI) to commercialize investments made in their processing capacity, with the goal of increasing processing volume. The accelerator grant allows CLYNK to better position itself to attract new bottle redemption states and partners within those states. The technology used in CLYNK’s processing centers enables the company to target all consumers within the 10 US Bottle Bill States—states with an incentivized recycling container deposit program—or roughly 25% of the US population.

CLYNK has doubled in size over the last two years, and is poised to do it again. Enabled by a prior MTI Development Loan they have instituted extensive technology upgrades to improve capacity in advance of making a push for more volume. “Since the early days of CLYNK’s evolution, MTI has been a valuable partner, providing grants and loans that have been integral to our growth. Maine is lucky to have a resource like MTI,” states Clayton Kyle, CLYNK CEO.

Through this expansion, CLYNK will provide more Maine jobs and further encourage the development of technical and operational skillsets here at their South Portland headquarters. CLYNK currently employees over 100 processors, drivers and office personnel based in South Portland. Customer acquisition outside of Maine will create advancement opportunities for Maine employees in the form of operations managerial roles, expert advisors to new locations, roving resources, additional Customer Service roles, and additions to Sales, Marketing and IT functions all based in Maine.

MTI Accelerator Grants are intended for companies who have received Development Loan and/or Federal R&D funding, including SBIR/STTR awards, to support commercialization and business development capacity-building activities that are required to advance new technology to market. Eligible companies use these grant funds to support commercialization and business development (capacity) activities. Eligible project activities work to advance the new technology to market and to firmly establish or increase the scope and sustainability of the business enterprise. This MTI grant funding is intended to increase the competitiveness of the company by providing funds directed at products/services commercialization, business and management team development, and company organization.

About CLYNK

Founded in 2006, CLYNK is one of the fastest growing bottle redemption services in the country, processing under patented technology, over 900 million containers since inception. With this technology, CLYNK is a true disruptor combining bottle redemption and traffic driving capabilities on behalf of its retail partners. Unlike any other bottle redemption service worldwide, CLYNK offers a convenient and easy bag-drop system at retail that eliminates waiting in line, manual count, material separation, and reduces fraud; all concerns which have historically dampened redemption participation and customer satisfaction. CLYNK is also the only bottle redemption system that allows customers to create a personal account, accumulate a balance and use funds at their discretion (for cash, groceries or electronic donations to local charities). Headquartered in Maine, the company currently operates in Hannaford Supermarkets in Maine and New York, and has licensed technology in both Oregon and New Brunswick, CA.

New College Safety App, Umergency™, Assists Students and Parents in Times of Emergency

Pacific Palisades, California (PRWEB) October 11, 2017

With more than 20 million college students attending this year’s fall semester,** parents and guardians are left with the worry of the potential dangers to their children while at school.

Whether college students commute or live away from home, parents are constantly anxious about their sons and daughters’ safety, and with due cause. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 20 percent of college-aged individuals – approximately 4 million young adults – end up in the emergency room each year, with approximately 700,000 becoming seriously injured from alcohol-related accidents.***

Newly launched Umergency™ is an app designed to provide college students and their families with the necessary tools to navigate through any emergency, health or safety situation. Free for students and available for download on both Android and iOS devices, Umergency offers a variety of accessible on- and off-campus resources, including an Urgent Alert beacon that notifies trusted contacts when immediate help is needed, along with the student’s GPS location.

“My daughter Alex called in the middle of the night, and all I heard her say was, ‘Mom, it’s really bad.’ My heart sank,” said Gail Schenbaum, co-founder of Umergency, whose real-life experience was the impetus for creating the app. “The EMT hung up the phone after saying, ‘We’re pulling into the ER with a partial amputation. We’ll call you back.’ I felt so helpless, and that’s why we’ve created a resource that will equip both students and parents with the communication tools and medical resources they need in the case of any emergency.”

Umergency features a digital medical consent form, granting families the ability to speak with medical professionals, as well as an insurance card upload function. Aggregated emergency resource contacts, customized to each college or university, can be accessed by both students and families, which includes local police, fire, ER, and urgent care personnel, as well as on-campus health center, psychological and other after-hours services hotlines.

Thousands of parents and students nationwide are using Umergency, which offers critical resources pre-populated for 1,200 colleges and universities in its database, ready at the touch of a button. Umergency also features built-in access to three of the most used national crisis hotlines, including suicide, sexual assault and poison control.

“My daughter is a college student who was by herself in the ER last year and the doctors wouldn’t talk to me,” said Lillah McCarthy, parent of a University of Michigan student who is now using the app with her daughter. “If we had Umergency at the time, the hospital staff would have seen her signed consent form and shared with me what was happening. Thankfully we have it now, and I can sleep better at night knowing that I am only a click away from helping my daughter when she needs it.”

Umergency’s all-in-one app is free for current college students in the U.S. Parents, family members and other non-student users can subscribe for only $7.99/year or $19.99 for lifetime access. Students and parents are immediately granted secure access in just four easy steps: 1) downloading the app, 2) creating an account, 3) selecting the college or university, and 4) pairing students’ and parents’ accounts together.

** The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

*** National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

About Umergency™

Umergency is an emergency, health and safety resource designed for college students and their families. The local and on-campus information comes pre-populated and is specific to each student’s campus, while the user-entered data is unique to each student and allows them to decide what to share and with whom. Additional features include the ability to upload and share a secure copy of the student’s health insurance card, and a digital medical consent form which can allow the student’s trusted friends and family to receive confidential information. Learn more about the app by visiting http://www.umergencyapp.com or visit Facebook http://www.facebook.com/Umergency, Twitter @Umergency and Instagram @Umergency.

Results Show Certain Types of Messages Continue to Get Through Because They Play to the Human Psyche

Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) October 11, 2017

KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s most popular security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today shared its Top 10 Global Phishing Email Subject Lines for Q3 2017. The results this quarter were a mix of personal and company notifications, showing email continues to be an effective way to phish users.

Mike Rogers, the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, spoke last week at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s cybersecurity summit about phishing attacks, his expectation of them as the “next big attack vector”, and their increased potential to dramatically impact an organization’s economic loss and liability. Rogers noted that cyber criminals, particularly those with nation-state backing, have created such sophisticated email phishing attacks that it is nearly impossible to defend against malware infections. He also cited that the availability of personal information on social media sites is driving advanced social engineering by cyber criminals, who use the information to create highly personalized phishing schemes. Rogers said sophisticated phishing emails are responsible for more than 90 percent of successful cyber-attacks.

These statements echo KnowBe4’s position that humans are the weakest link in an organization’s security program. The company examined tens of thousands of email subject lines from simulated phishing tests to uncover just what makes a user want to click.

The Top 10 Most-Clicked General Email Subject Lines Globally for Q3 2017 include:

1.    Official Data Breach Notification – 14%

2.    UPS Label Delivery 1ZBE312TNY00015011 – 12%

3.    IT Reminder: Your Password Expires in Less Than 24 Hours – 12%

4.    Change of Password Required Immediately – 10%

5.    Please Read Important from Human Resources – 10%

6.    All Employees: Update your Healthcare Info – 10%

7.    Revised Vacation & Sick Time Policy – 8%

8.    Quick company survey – 8%

9.    A Delivery Attempt was made – 8%

10.    Email Account Updates – 8%

*Capitalization is as it was in the phishing test subject line

*Email subject lines are a combination of both simulated phishing templates created by KnowBe4 for clients, and custom tests designed by KnowBe4 customers

In addition to the Top 10 most-clicked general email subject lines, KnowBe4 also evaluated the Top 10 global social networking subject lines for Q3 2017. These subject lines represent simulated phishing tests that KnowBe4 clients sent to a user’s inbox as if they were coming from a social media site and reflecting some sort of account activity. Following in the footsteps from Q2, four of the top 10 spots again went to LinkedIn, which users often have tied to their work email addresses. This, too, plays into the human psyche, as people want to connect and manage their reputation on their social networking sites so often open and interact with emails from the sites. LinkedIn poses an interesting dilemma for organizations and their employees as it is important to both have an updated and active presence on LinkedIn, yet the platform is obviously highly targeted by cyber criminals for social engineering and phishing activities.

“By playing into the human psyche, hackers will successfully continue to infiltrate an organization through a phishing email. The level of sophistication hackers are now using makes it nearly impossible for a piece of technology to keep an organization protected against social engineering threats,” said Perry Carpenter, chief evangelist and strategy officer at KnowBe4. “Phishing attacks are smart, personalized and timed to match topical news cycles. Businesses have a responsibility to their employees, their shareholders and their clients to prevent phishing schemes. KnowBe4 has a proven track record of helping them do just that.”

Businesses that are not already working with KnowBe4 to train their workforce into an effective last line of defense can utilize a number of free tools at http://www.knowbe4.com to test their users and their network.

About KnowBe4

KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s most popular integrated new school security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, is used by more than 13,000 organizations worldwide. Founded by data and IT security expert Stu Sjouwerman, KnowBe4 helps organizations address the human element of security by raising awareness of ransomware, CEO fraud and other social engineering tactics through a new-school approach to security awareness training. Kevin Mitnick, internationally recognized computer security expert and KnowBe4’s Chief Hacking Officer, helped design KnowBe4’s training based on his well-documented social engineering tactics. Thousands of organizations trust KnowBe4 to mobilize their end-users as the last line of corporate IT defense.

Number 231 on the 2017 Inc. 500 list, #50 on 2016 Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 and #6 in Cybersecurity Ventures Cybersecurity 500.

Pittsburgh-based InventHelp, a leading inventor service company, is submitting this client’s idea, Rear View, in the hopes of a good faith review.

PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) October 12, 2017

An inventor from Suwanee, Ga., has developed the REAR VIEW, a convenient display system for tractor-trailers designed to provide a trucker with a clear view to the rear. "I was inspired to invent this due to my job profession as a truck driver. Not all trucks are equipped with a rear view mirror. My invention provides a means to view the rear of the truck," said the inventor.

The REAR VIEW enables truckers to check conditions behind their vehicles while reversing or driving down the highway. It helps the truck driver maintain a high level of safety and confidence. This system may help prevent costly collisions, tire damage and other possible harm from reversing blindly. Ultimately, it will provide peace of mind for safety-conscious truck drivers.

The original design was submitted to the Atlanta office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 16-ALL-1090, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.
