  • John Quinn, Co-founder and CEO at Exos Aerospace - A "GO" for Jaguar and Orbital

    At Exos our mission in life is not to build and fly Low Earth Orbit capable reusable rockets but rather, to enable other brilliant minds to change the world for the better …as two examples: First, the rapid space manufacturing of mesenchymal stem cells (or MSC’s) for regenerative medical treatments have shown phenomenal results in clinical trials after return from the International Space Station (Exos can do in months what took years on ISS). Secondly, enabling the development and deployment of reusable hypersonic technologies that will drastically reduce point-to-point travel times in the new global economy.

  • Dan "Cosmo" Grupp, CEO at LifeAir - LifeAir is pioneering the first ventilator with a disposable airway.
    LifeAir is pioneering the first ventilator with a disposable airway to stop the patient-patient spread of COVID-19 and VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia)
    Pain: Currently ventilators can’t be cleaned, so have the potential to spread diseases from one patient to the next, including COVID-19 and especially pneumonia, which kills 100,000 people each year and costs hospitals $12B. Also, ventilators are very expensive, with a base Medtronic unit starting at $25,000. Solution: It is well-known that ventilators harbor dangerous bacteria.
     
    COVID-19 pushes this issue into the foreground. Our solution of the first disposable airway solves this problem once and for all. By engineering our own gas handling and sensor system, we have also driven the cost down 10x. I have invented multiple medical devices now on the market, and I said “I have to fix this”.
