We hope our innovation will benefit oyster farms throughout the state. The gear prototype is a three-dimensional oyster-growing raft that incorporates automated, solar-powered, cleaning and tumbling of the oysters. We believe these rafts will allow us, and other farms who choose to use them, to lower production costs, produce more oysters with less space, and scale operations over a shorter period of time. All of these factors would create jobs by lowering the barrier of entry to new farmers, and allowing smaller farms to grow to profitability more quickly and efficiently. less

For this project we are expanding our offering to include surface weather stations that integrate with each fishing vessel's wheelhouse electronics systems giving captains real time temperature, barometric pressure, and wind speed/direction while also recording and sending weather data in real time via satellite internet to forecasters. Feeding this additional data stream into local forecasts will create a safer operating environment for all maritime stakeholders. This is a project we've done the technical development on over the past year and we are confident that we can integrate the technology with fishing vessels along the Maine coast. We are looking for funding to procure the hardware necessary to establish the network. less

We lead entrepreneurs through a guided process to understand their numbers, determine how to improve and create a growth plan. Profit Decoder shows the sales needed to be profitable and the key levers that change profitability. We give business owners plainspoken answers to questions that keep them up at night. Questions like: How will sales volume impact profitability? Should prices be raised or lowered? How will changing costs impact profits? What products and services generate profits? After prototyping Profit Decoder with over a hundred entrepreneurs, we have seen how Profit Decoder transforms peoples businesses and lives. Given the ravages of COVID-19, there has never been a more critical time to support small businesses that are the backbone of our communities. We seek funding to move from a prototype to fully operational web app. less
