Energy - Informatics for Conservation
Issues of CO2 emissions or security of energy supply both create a pressing need for new energy solutions.  There is active investment in new forms of energy production (Wind, Solar, Nuclear, etc), but less focus on conservation measures. Nearly 20% of the average energy usage in a building is attributable to waste associated with systems running "out of tune" .  Just as your computer slows down over time, so to do buildings an systems fall out of sync with desired targets.

Improved information systems, representing planned vs. actual performance help owners, operators, regulators, utilities and others optimize assets and reduce energy usage without causing a massive capital investment or disrupting current operations.

Our team and affiliates are able to contribute in the following areas on energy:

• Real time monitoring of legacy systems
• Analytics of system performance
• Systems integration
• Building to Grid integration
• Residential and light commercial strategies

Aviation - Personal Transportation Systems
The air travel experience remains unpleasant, costly and time consuming.  There have been few if any major innovations in the field for many years.  Airlines are going bankrupt.  Air travel is becoming dramatically more difficult for cities without airline hub operations. 

Innovations in the area of light jets offer the opportunity of affordable personalized travel.  We are looking for entrepreneurs with business products and services that address needs in the areas of:

• Air taxi Operators
• Low cost regional air traffic systems
• On board maintenance solutions
• Part 135 operations software
• Training systems

Medical Informatics
The cost of health care continues to grow.  Demand from an ever aging population is pressuring an over taxed systems.  14% of health care cost is attributed to inefficiencies in medical information systems.  Entrepreneurs are attempting to bring improvements to the system, but their technology offerings often fail under the pressure of safety, cost, government oversight, and years of deeply rooted medical practices.  The emergence of Health Savings Accounts (HSA) offers an opportunity to integrate consumer behavior, driven by economic choice, into the health care innovation cycle.  We are looking for products and services that address needs in the areas of:

• Linkage of non-critical health service to HSA accounts
• Tools that accelerate the creation of defacto standards
