Five Finalists to Compete for Cash and Glory in ‘Tech Triathlon’ Track at Inventures

May 29, 2024 by Knowlton Thomas Leave a Comment

Thousands of dollars are on the line along with exposure to a global audience and technology investors for 30 companies that have made the final cut for the Inventures Startup Pitch Competition.

Inventures 2024 is finally here and a select group of companies have been identified as the finalists for this year’s pitch competition.

There are six competitions, each with a $10,000 prize and five finalists who will pitch live on stage. The six competitions mirror the program tracks of this year’s conference.

One competition track is the Tech Triathlon, which covers three technologies: Quantum, A.I., and the Internet of Things.

In this track the five finalists are Veristart, UpRow, Hoonify Technologies, Deaf AI, and Fringe Field Technologies. Below, a glance at the competitors.

Veristart

Veristart is on a quest to eliminate construction equipment theft while making construction sites safer.

The company’s cloud and mobile app solution aims to minimize risk, downtime, and costs, while improving safety—all by empowering owners with real-time control over their construction equipment.

UpRow

UpRow offers an AI-powered digital platform targeting Canada’s many new immigrants.

Whether you’re looking for housing, legal advice, or language tutoring, UpRow says it has got users covered with personalized recommendations powered by AI technology.

Hoonify

Hoonify targets enterprises that are dependent on modelling, simulation, and machine learning with its own proprietary computing solution.

The startup looks to transform ordinary computers into parallel computing powerhouses, elevating them to supercomputers. Hoonify’s secret sauce is TurbOS, a cutting-edge operating system that propels Linux codes and applications to higher speeds.

Deaf AI

Deaf AI develops tech-forward products that aim to make the internet more inclusive of deaf persons.

The company is currently training machines with artificial intelligence to do sign language in order to improve the experience of communicating with people who don’t know sign—with an ultimate vision “to develop digital humans as sign language interpreters for real-time interpreting of voice-to-sign languages.”

Fringe Field

Fringe Field is working on an AI-powered, non-invasive, microwave biosensor technology it has dubbed WAIVSense which can provide individuals with biometric data and personalized insights to help promote health and prevent disease.

The startup’s wearable and needle-free technology is capable of simultaneously monitoring multiple core biomarkers including glucose, lactate, ketones, urea, blood alcohol, and the level of hydration, according to the company, who believes WAIVSense technology has “potential to revolutionize the health market” by helping individuals make informed choices based on their own data.
