Vktry Gear

VKTRY’s ultra-lightweight, carbon fiber base provides improved athletic performance and enhanced injury protection due to its full-length support, stability, and shock absorption. Originally invented for the USA Olympic Bobsled Team, VKTRY Insoles are designed to return energy to increase athletic explosiveness (+9.3%).

The VKTRY Insole does not add energy, it reduces your lost energy. You get out of the VK what you put into it. Many medical experts recommend VKs for help in recovering from injuries such as Turf Toe, Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints and several other foot and lower leg injuries.

Moment Energy

There are three pillars of the business model of Moment Energy. One, is obtaining the used batteries directly from the OEM suppliers of EV companies—possibly at a discount or even charging them to ‘dispose’ of these used batteries (depending on how regulation in different countries is written and implemented) which could also become a moat. Second, is to use target customers in which their solutions solve specific high-priority problems of, initially, smaller clients in underserved sectors. The third and, possibly the most critical component of the business model—and a potential strong moat, is their Battery Management Software (BMS) system.

OEMs provide a circular economy for their batteries. ME (Moment Energy) is partnering with cities and OEMs to provide circular economy for their EV car’s used batteries—once these batteries reach 80% of life. Some potential applications for these used batteries include:

  • Grid scale energy storage
  • Residential storage
  • Supplemental power for EV chargers
  • Other possible applications—new markets are likely to develop for these used batteries

React Mobile

React Mobile’s staff safety platform is intended to deploy resources to the exact location of an emergency within seconds of an alert. The company’s platform sends an alert containing the GPS coordinates to selected emergency contacts via a text message and email with an option for an alert to be posted on social media sites, thereby enabling businesses to immediately get in contact with their employees and help in times of distress. 58% of hospitality workers have been sexually assaulted on the job. Three states, some cities, and many trade unions have mandated panic buttons for hospitality workers.
