BlockJoy

Blockchain

BlockJoy

BlockJoy allows you to deploy and run your own blockchain nodes on any infrastructure you choose. It started as a project to manager staking with friends and family. We built advanced tooling to optimize validator management for teams of two. But, due to the sheer difficulty of installing and running nodes, our little VaaS company grew crazy fast. We quickly realized that VaaS can’t work for a network because it centralizes control. We turned our platform into a SaaS tool so that anyone could launch and run their own node with full control over where and on what infrastructure it runs. Now, network operators can run their own nodes; BlockJoy just takes the headaches away.

Iterative Health

Healthcare

Iterative Health

Iterative Health is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence-based precision medicine in gastroenterology (GI), with the aim of helping to optimize clinical trials investigating treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use advanced machine learning and computer vision to interpret endoscopic images along with other types of data, helping clinicians to better assess patients with potential GI problems. This gives practitioners enhanced capabilities in the detection, annotation, disease scoring and treatment of GI related diseases. Iterative Health is initially applying these advances towards standardizing disease severity characterization for inflammatory bowel disease. Ultimately, the company aims to establish more meaningful endpoints to serve as better predictors of both therapeutic response and disease outcomes. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
