Understanding How the Human Brain Learns to Read is Essential for Effectively Teaching Children to Read
Market Problem
There is a scarcity of well-trained reading teachers and educational resources that effectively employ Neurological Reading Models to accelerate the learning process.
Science
While the brain naturally processes spoken language, it struggles with written language.
To read, the brain translates written words into sounds through Phonemic Awareness.
Decoding words using this process is crucial for developing fluent reading in children.
Instructional techniques should incorporate the current neurological reading models pioneered at Haskins Laboratories.

Accelerating Data Transfer Speeds by Leveraging Processing Power
Market Problem
Edge Data: Enormous volumes of data are generated in locations outside the cloud, such as: HD Video, MRI and other medical imaging.
Transferring edge-generated data to the cloud in a timely manner leads to costly bottlenecks, causing cascading cost increases and time delays across organizations.
Science
Over a 4-year period, the computing power, measured in TERAFLOPS (trillions of floating-point operations per second), was expected to increase by over 300%, all while prices and portability plummeted. GPUs would radically transform the feasible approaches to data compression.

Ideas
Product
Founded in 2010, Brevity introduced a patented technology that harnessed a novel approach for compressing and transmitting data while concurrently analyzing, moving, and processing it. This innovation established the fastest ever method for data transfer across private fiber and the internet.
We called the technology "Data-Warp." It was Invented by co-founders Jacob Bronstein (CEO) and Abdul Sulieman (CTO).
Brevity technology was sold as a SaaS product to enterprise Media & Entertainment clients with large telecommunication infrastructures.
After its April 2012 launch, Brevity’s products were used at the 2012 and 2014 Olympics and at the Superbowl from 2012-2014. The technology was adopted across multiple media companies, most notably in sports broadcasting including: the NFL, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, and Fox sports.
Increased Protein Production From Cell Lines
Market Problem
The high cost associated with large-scale therapeutic protein manufacturing presents significant challenges. With hundreds of pioneering treatments entering the market annually, the pharmaceutical industry faces the daunting task of constructing numerous new production facilities for years to come.
Science
Forcing Cell Overproduction through a novel directed evolution platform for forcing cells to overproduce desired proteins, viruses and other processes.
Repeated homotypic fusions of CHO or HEK-293 cells result in genome shuffling and amplification of whole chromosomes.
