We’re on a mission to eliminate waste for good, starting with the food that ends up in landfills. Did you know that more than half of the food in landfills comes from home kitchens (ReFED)? And food in landfills turns into methane – which is 80x more potent than CO2 over a 20-year period (IPCC). At Mill, we’re working to turn kitchen scraps into food for chickens. This keeps food in our food system and out of landfills.

We’re in the business of financial equality. Owning a home is a path towards wealth creation and financial stability, but too often people get left behind. Our team aims to break through traditional barriers to fight for the underdog, and give everyone a shot at owning their own home. We believe the mortgage industry hasn’t kept up with changing times. Mortgage requirements have gotten more restrictive while our financial lives are more complex than ever. Today, millions of Americans are excluded from homeownership, not because they can’t afford it but because they simply can’t get approved for a mortgage. That’s what we set out to change. Divvy represents an entirely new way to think about homeownership in America. At Divvy, we've built an on-ramp to homeownership. With our innovative, rent to own model, we help future homeowners get into the house they love with a transparent process by which they can buy the home from Divvy. We are driven by the goal of expanding access to homeownership in America and letting more individuals & families share in the financial benefits of homeownership.

We want to radically improve how we humans communicate with each other. Our first step at Ava is to empower 466M deaf and hard-of-hearing people to live in a fully accessible world. Every day, millions of people are excluded from conversations because they cannot hear what others say well. Our CEO Thibault grew up in a Deaf family & witnessed firsthand how the world was not accessible for them. Together with our CTO Skinner — deaf since age 2 — Thibault co-founded Ava to make live captioning of conversations as easy as turning on captions on TV. Our small but fast-growing team has reinvented AI-based speech recognition technology to be in service of people who need it the most. We dream of a 24/7 accessible world, without any communication barrier. In this pursuit, we're seeing how critical communication skills are, yet very far from ideal, to unleash our collective potential. This is for us the ultimate barrier we need to lift. Our belief is that well-designed technology can help everyone communicate and connect better — much more effectively & authentically — so humanity can achieve the greatest things together.

Transformations of the Human (ToftH) was founded in 2021, by Tobias Rees and Kim Newman, as a California non-profit educational organization (501c3). It is designed to introduce a new practice to the world, one that does not yet exist and has only recently become possible: the practice of doing philosophy. ToftH is composed of the ToftH School (“the School”) and ToftH Research Corporation (“TRC”), a for-profit subsidiary. The ToftH Research Corporation (TRC) is an AI product insight company. We combine our unique proprietary method for identifying the new –– doing philosophy –– and a novel approach to UXR to provide insights for tech companies on how to build powerful AI products. TRC was established in support of two goals: (i) to build a company on the basis of ToftH-style work that can generate revenue and fund ToftH School; (ii) to prove that by building products in terms of their philosophical newness, one can produce new value and markets. The main work streams of TRC include consulting with external clients, and internal research and product development. Our work combines philosophy, art and technology in order to build PArT projects, products, practitioners and companies for the new.
Digital Democracy’s mission is to empower marginalized communities to use technology to defend their rights. In a time of rapid technological advancement, we believe that technology can, should and must be used to promote civic engagement. From economic recession to devastating climate change, humans are facing complex challenges on a global scale. We believe human rights and environmental challenges are inextricably linked, and that new collaborations are necessary to resolve these seemingly intractable problems. We envision a future where all people can participate in the decisions that affect their lives. We work to push the edge of innovation to include marginalized voices, because people from the most-affected communities are integral to designing lasting solutions to protect the planet. We experiment with how the latest technology can be adapted to the use of local communities, to be owned and controlled by them. We are adapting existing open-source tools to work in offline environments, and prototyping tools that put communities in control of their own data, how it is published, and how their story is told.
