  • Visalo Energy, Inc.

    Visalo Energy, Inc. is commercializing a patent pending, market making technology in the heavy oil production industry - a unique new production and extraction method that dramatically increases recovery rates to 90% or higher at substantially lower entry costs. The company’s patent pending technology will directly compete with existing heavy oil recovery, in addition to conventional oil recovery technologies. Conservative production rates with low entry and extraction costs will generate higher revenues, profits, and market share than any other competitor method of extraction that is either not commercially viable, imposes environmental risks, or produces substantially lower production rates.

  • Quantum Solar

    Quantum Solar is developing a patent pending, "corner-turning" technology that utilizes a fundamental new structure using nanotechnology that dramatically increases the conversion efficiency of solar cells to 60% or higher. For more than forty years, the efficiency of solar cells has remained static. The ability of solar cells to convert solar energy (or photons) to electrons, resulting in electricity - a process known as conversion efficiency - has been capped at between 10 and 15%. As a result of these low conversion efficiencies, grid energy has remained more cost effective than solar energy. Government subsidies are currently necessary for solar energy to be able to compete with grid energy. Quantum Solar's technology will allow solar energy to not only compete with grid energy, but it will make solar cells the preeminent energy choice for consumers and utilities alike.

  • Deepvision Partners

    The Deepvision Partners are developing a proprietary system that will convert any 2D standard live action video - HDTV - video game or any other content to a spatial "out of the screen" 3D experience, in real time. The conversion technology being developed will be integrated into an advanced set-top-box or imbedded and viewed on a large 2D compatible spatial 3D display without the need for special glasses.

    The partners at Deepvision plan to move this proprietary technology from the traditional markets for 3D spatial data - medical imaging, or scientific visualization - into the underdeveloped opportunities that include home, hand-held wireless, and location based entertainment. Other segments include spatial online gaming, websites, and corporate - government visualization solutions.

  • Mailshooter

    Mailshooter is a spam-free Internet email delivery service that permits a person to generate a message and have it delivered without needing to know the recipient's email address. It appears to the user like a search engine for email, although the address is not disclosed to the sender.

    Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has become a critical aspect of all businesses, whether they use the term or not. Businesses are more successful if they listen to what their customers want, but getting important feedback through email has become increasingly difficult. Customers have options, and poor customer service can prove very costly to businesses. Mailshooter focuses on improving CRM by providing a spam-free communication tool in addition to providing individuals and small businesses a subscription-based spam-free inbox.

It will provide anonymous and confidential online discussion rooms for price discovery and negotiations regarding the purchase and sale of virtually all types of financial instruments, businesses, and business assets.

    The UnifiedMarket will provide, for the first time, an efficient worldwide IOI distribution network for secondary trades of unregistered and registered securities, and primary issue of private placements, plus IOIs to buy and sell businesses and business assets. While existing private markets for unlisted securities and business assets are extensive and worldwide, they are generally opaque, fragmented and inefficient, which significantly limits distribution, price discovery and liquidity opportunities.
