Syqe Medical
Syqe Medical is the world’s first meter-dosed, medical cannabis inhaler. Today, doctors have no way to measure the intake of prescription cannabis to patients, which directly impacts the affectivity of the prescription. Syqe is getting in at the ground floor of what is projected to be an $11B legal cannabis market in the US alone. Perry Davidson, founder and CEO of Syqe, has over 9 years of experience in controlled substance regulation and state implementation in Israel.

The Scalabill.it solution requires a one-time integration, which allows them to conduct multiple, simultaneous pilots.

Stealth Mode: Mobile advertising using contextual targeting
Real time ad bidding closely resembles a stock market trading floor, much like one you may have seen in movies like the Boiler Room or Wolf of Wall Street. Companies spend billions of dollars annually using a “spray and pray” method of advertising, trying to hit the right person, with the right ad, at the right time. Serving ads has become even more difficult with the recent yet dramatic move to mobile. Experts project that mobile advertising spend could reach $73B by 2018. One of our latest investments on the OurCrowd platform developed a cutting edge mobile advertising platform that has the ability to deliver precise ads based on real life contextual data. By analyzing billions of data points and machine learning, this company can highly target relevant, potential customers.
