Startup Steroid brings you the Founders podcast. In this podcast, we invite founders to share their experiences of starting and running a startup. You get to know their pain points and how they tackled them.
We believe that education starts at home. Unfortunately, most parents don't know what kind of educational products and experiences to provide their children to pique their curiosity in STEM. It's a big problem when kids today don't know what engineering or computer science even means. Our founder, Oscar Pedroso, experienced this when he was in school. So, he and his team made it a mission of theirs to ensure all students (regardless of background) are aware of the many educational paths and career opportunities that exist. So many kids have the potential to be the next Elon Musk and we're going to help make that happen!

Shoonya's mission is to create interactive edutainment content that is inspired by the stories and characters of the world. Why do we want to do it? It's simple. There is a great need for it. With the growing technologies, the world is indeed "becoming flat" and children today are intrigued by cultures around the world. Our company is based out of Santa Barbara, California, which is geographically placed somewhere between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Not sure, if this is by intention or accident but our company is a perfect marriage of these two worlds; Edutainment and EdTech.

Exchange rates (FX) stifle trade and hamper economic opportunity, especially in emerging economies. We are democratizing derivatives to relegate FX volatility to antiquity and make global trade and worldwide economic access so ubiquitous, it's taken for granted. Exchange rates can fluctuate 10–25% annually, leading to busted budgets and disrupted cash flows. This volatility impacts startups and enterprises in virtually every industry. Thankfully, companies can hedge with derivatives like futures and options to help manage, contain, and even benefit from that risk.

Unlike the surgical method, Hera's test (MetriDxTM) is capable of diagnosing and staging endo, quantitatively. This capability provides physicians objective data, which can be used in the clinical management of the disease. Collecting patient tissue samples is a common practice in physician offices. The uterine tissue sample required for Hera's test will be collected via a Pipelle biopsy and shipped to Hera's lab for analysis. This entire process is well-established as it is comparable to the model used for a PAP smear. MetriDxTM will greatly reduce wait time and failure rates associated with the current standard by moving diagnostic capability from the OR to the physician's office, eliminating both guesswork and patient downtime from the equation.

Every year, wildfires cause $130 Billion in economic damages and release greenhouse gasses equivalent to 65% of California's transport industry. That is when we are fortunate enough that no lives are lost. A significant portion of the annual burn area is the result of just a few fires attributed to the electric grid. Delphire was created to provide early detection of these grid-related fires. Our system can detect these wildfires in seconds using a state-of-the-art CV and AI pairing while gathering data from before the fire started. Once we learn more about the conditions that lead to ignition, we expect our system to prevent fires.

Founded by 2 ex-consultants who have worked for big names in the industry in the US, Canada, France, and Luxembourg. Both founders identified that mainstream consulting business models are bound to fail and COVID-19 has accelerated the downfall of these fragile business models. Binary Analytics is a consulting company that offers all its services remotely and in a gamified environment. Problem: US companies pay 600 billion USD per year when hiring unengaged employees or underperforming employees. Solution: This is a software integration that gauges employee performance metrics and translates these into daily reports with suggestions on what should be done to improve the service and with 5-minute-online games to be played by the employee in order to acquire the skills that he/she needs to better perform at the job.

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”.
