CURRENT PROJECTS

SoundFit
Custom-Fit Ear Gear, fast and affordable. Ears are uniquely shaped. Custom Fit solutions dramatically increase comfort, and won’t fall out accidentally. They passively reduce outside noise by up to 30dB, allowing wearers to hear the signal clearly at lower volumes and with higher dynamic range, while protecting their hearing. Lower volumes reduce power consumption, increasing battery life. SoundFit sells these solutions through convenient, low cost channels with fast turnaround from fitting to final products.

MoBillions
MoBillions is a Silicon Valley mobile commerce start-up dedicated to giving you all the things you want, for less time, effort and money. MoBillions' secret is its agent technology that notices your usual shopping habits and searches high and wide 24x7 for for bargains and rewards no matter what you are shopping for. It doesn't spam you with offers when you are busy with other things, but gives you purchase time offers for items you are currently interested in buying.

MoBillions is more than a mobile rewards system or payment system; it operates across the entire commerce spectrum from initial product discovery and awareness through mobile payment and delivery.

Because your MoBillions' Personal Shopping Assistant embedded in your mobile phone is constantly looking for the best offers for you, you don't have to waste your time trying to search for the best deals. Yet you'll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that while you were doing other things, your own personal assistant was hard at work for you.

GroupGain
GroupGain is the next generation of social commerce, creating a new marketplace for group buying wherein buyers can attain lowest prices and sellers can achieve lower buyer acquisition costs, hence increase profits. GroupGain empowers both sellers and buyers with an automated toolset, giving each complete control of deal structuring without third party intervention. It achieves this by supporting both fixed and dynamic pricing schemes which not only produces an equilibrium of supply and demand but also results in a highly efficient market. The site is fundamentally different from online auction sites, where consumers place their bids and an item is sold to the highest bidder.

GroupGain’s patent pending, demand-aggregation model employs rule-engine technology which enables B2C environments to enjoy the same discounts as B2B, thus benefiting sellers with rapid, low-cost acquisition of large volumes of buyers, hence delivering increased margins. GroupGain’s system empowers consumers to make a purchase in an individual transaction while enjoying the advantages of group discounts. By utilizing an addictive, exciting, interactive and dynamic visual interface that enhances the shopping experience, combined with advanced social collaboration tools, GroupGain creates a virtual buying community that benefits from “safety-in-numbers” and trust phenomenon, inherent in group psychology (e.g. shoppers do not feel “alone in the deal” as they do in auction sites).
