We couldn’t have done it without you!
We're replacing passwords and keys because they're insecure and inconvenient! By 2025, losses due to password-related data breaches are expected to reach $10 Trillion. Everykey is the world's first universal smart key that wirelessly unlocks your phone, computer, and online accounts when you're nearby, then locks them all down when you walk away. Soon it will work with door locks, cars, and other access-controlled devices too! Our patented technology makes it easy and convenient to stay secure!

We provide farmers, ranchers, fishers and other merchants with a cost effective and convenient channel to sell their products online. And we provide consumers with transparency and connection to where their food is coming from. Farmshare is reshaping the future of food: no more mystery meat or waxed apples.

At Grapefruit Health we are addressing the massive staffing shortage in healthcare by creating the first national workforce composed completely of clinical students (ie. social work, pharmacy, pre-med, nursing, etc.). We recruit, train, and manage these students to perform work on behalf of healthcare organizations remotely through our proprietary software. These 1M students create the opportunity for 850M unique patient touch points, and save healthcare workers over 35M hours each year!
