ScanAvert: For People with Dietary Restrictions
It is difficult to get rid of unwanted ingredients. The entire process is time consuming and complicated. It is difficult even to the most educated consumer. ScanAvert helps to identify all the terminologies that pertain to the same allergen or ingredient.
ScanAvert started with Ellen Bedinelli, one of the most successful businesswomen in Wall Street. She was the activities director in a children’s summer camp when she was challenged to find the snack that the kids would eat after the activities. She was aware that some of the children have food allergies; others have intolerance, and others are still on medication. Bedinelli went to the grocery store and found herself going through the racks and manually cross checking the ingredients with the list.
Bedinelli found out that the entire task was huge. She came up with the idea of an application that would help people with dietary restrictions to find the safest groceries. Her ideas gave birth to ScanAvert. ScanAvert is available for Android and iOS devices.
In 2011, ScanAvert received its patent for automated compatibility notifications and recommendations to a physical group that is based on the health preference and avoidance profile of the user. ScanAvert is the preeminent portal that food manufacturers can use for their coupons and pushed to members on the basis of allergies, intolerance and dietary preferences.
ScanAvert users store their personal health data on the company website. Then, they can scan beauty products, medicines and food products barcode labels using the smartphone so that the product information can be crosschecked with their health specifications. Pulling out of a database of more than 300,000 products entries, ScanAvert will provide a green or red alert, depending on the needs of the user. The technology is also equipped with notifications for recalls, especially for patients with anaphylaxis.
In the meantime, ScanAvert can be availed at a minimal fee of $1.99 a month or $9.99 for six months. However, ScanAvert will soon offer its free app.

The Renmatix Vision: Renew the World
Renmatix is a bio-based sugar intermediaries manufacturer. The chemical and fuel markets around the world can benefit out of Renmatix’s innovation because it is one of the best alternatives for fuel derivatives. Fueled by the vision to go beyond dependence on petroleum products into a large-scale use of cellulosic sugars, Renmatix has produced its flagship process, the PlantroseTM.
PlantroseTM converts cellulosic biomass in a very cost efficient way – turning agricultural residue and wood waste into useful sugars. This process is challenging all conventional economics of sugar. Renmatix uses a highly critical hydrolysis technology to deconstruct all nonfood biomass in a relatively faster and cheaper way compared with other processes.
While other sugar-related businesses look to harsh chemicals and expensive enzymes to break down cellulose, Renmatix uses water at high pressure and temperature to achieve cellulosic sugar. Needless to say, cellulosic sugar will usher a new wave of clean and renewable fuels and chemicals. Renmatix’s approach that conditions water to solubilized biomass is attracting investors and industry partners alike.
Through its cost-effective sugars, Renmatix has grown to become a robust company. The company looks to seal its position in the industry by investing in technologies that would deliver sugars from various types of plants. Renmatix is opening the door for a bio-based industrial revolution through its key intermediaries.
How Renmatix has operated and consistently produced its sugars indicate that PlantroseTM can be scaled in a quick manner so that the demands for chemicals and fuels are met. Renmatix has partnered with a number of industry leaders and has tailored its distinct processes so that all the needs of stakeholders are met.
Renmatrix is an active player in green revolution. Thus, the company has developed a culture where everyone is passionate with scientific discovery. This culture drives the entire organization to seek for advancements that would change the face of the game. Indeed, Renmatix is on its way to realize its visions of renewing the world.

ZestFinance: Providing Alternative to Payday Loans
ZestFinance is a credit underwriting and analysis company. It was founded by Douglas Merrill who was the former CIO of Google. After resigning from Google, Douglas was thinking about what to do next when his sister Victoria called him to ask for help. Her car was stuck in snow and she needed money to buy snow tires so she can get her car going.
The National Federation for Credit Counselors reported that 64% of the American populace do not have emergency funds of more than $1,000. About 17% of them would be like Victoria who has family members to lend them money during emergencies. Majority of Americans do not have families to run to. When asked what she would have done if Douglas did not have the money to lend to her, she said she might acquire another payday loan.
Thirty million Americans take payday loans at least once a year. These people do have the idea how expensive payday loans are and that these types of loans are designed to make paying them off in full almost impossible. Payday loans are fee-based—that is, the payments are not applied to the debt principal. When the borrower thinks he has paid his loans, he realizes that he has placed himself in a vicious debt cycle.
Douglas established ZestFinance to provide people with the option for credit at lower costs. He also established the company to relieve them with billions of dollars in fees. (In 2012 alone, payday loan fees amounted to over $8 billion.) ZestFinance uses the style of Google in handling big data analysis. Douglas partnered with Shawn Budde of Capital One to put the company’s underwriting in order.
In 2010, ZestFinance offered a new type of loan called ZestCash. With ZestCash, borrowers can pay their loans in installment basis, with their payments applied to the principal and interest. Using its big data underwriting, ZestFinance has lowered the fees to about 50% compared with the typical payday loans. ZestCash was primarily designed to help people get out of debt.
