Hopeful Inc
The team behind Hopeful Inc. wants to help nonprofits drive donations, reduce operating costs, and make better decisions using data. They are the first social media analytics platform developed specifically for nonprofits, with their primary differentiator being their ability to integrate with major CRM platforms and directly tie social media metrics to the donations that come into a nonprofit from online sources.
Hello Iris
Hello Iris uses AI to generate personalized mindfulness maps that help people become aware of their unique way of experiencing the world and the situations and responses refracted through that lens. Mindfulness apps provide general mindfulness tips, and it’s the user’s job to interpret and apply the lessons to their life. Hello Iris provides a map that highlights the best opportunities for you to apply mindfulness, based on the patterns and sensitivities highlighted by your unique experience of the world.
