Air Cahana: Elevating Travel with a Sustainable Touch

/in /by


Air Cahana will begin operations in the fall of 2023 with the Pilatus PC-12 executive category aircraft providing charter service to vacation and business destinations such as Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and Silicon Valley. Our aircraft will run on the highest blend of biofuel available and will be available for charter out of the Los Angeles Metro area. After the Pilatus, we’ll transition to the ATR turboprop in 2025 and will expand from Los Angeles to other hubs. We’ll begin with a biofuel blend and will ultimately run on 100% biofuel.

We will offer a refined experience, with a sustainability theme and sensibility that will delight any traveler fed up with how air travel works today. There will be no TSA – we will do our own security. We will fly our customers from regional airports to vacation and business destinations within a ~1,000 mile (regional) range. Our service will be premium but our prices will not be. Our fleet uses less fuel and requires less maintenance with biofuel and becomes even more economical when we transition to hydrogen a few years later. When we transition to hydrogen, we will offer premium service on regional routes to vacation and business destinations with a sustainable and profitable business model. We can prove that premium, profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Are VKTRY Insoles Legal?

/in /by

A question we get a lot… “This seems too good to be true… insoles that help athletes run faster & jump higher… are these things legal?”

Yes, carbon fiber insoles are used by thousands of elite athletes across multiple sports from football to pickleball. In fact, VKTRY Insoles were invented in 2009 and the product helped the US Olympic Bobsled Team capture the gold medal for the first time in 62 years. Similar to how carbon fiber equipment has grown in sports like cycling, tennis and golf, VKTRY Insoles are a technological advancement that helps athletes fulfill their full potential.

VKTRY Insoles have been scientifcally proven to help reduce injuries (up to 41% in a recent study). VKs also help athletes recover from injuries. Additionally, it would be quite surprising for a sports governing body to ban a product that has been proven to help prevent athletic injuries.

“After an extensive 6-month research study, it is clear that VKTRY Insoles improve lower body biomechanics, stability of the ankle and knee during running, and shock absorption during landing. These improvements can help safeguard athletes by providing injury protection,” said Dr. Doug Casa, CEO of the Korey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut.

New “Smart Sort” shows you articles most likely to engage your audience

/in /by

The “Smart Sort” filter ranks the freshly curated articles in your UpContent account by how likely they will spark engagement with your audience.

Our systems will take the articles your Topics have sourced and compare them to those you shared over the last 90 days to predict engagement.

Based on which articles your audience responded to the best in the past, the filter will “sort” the newly curated articles in UpContent, starting with the ones we predict will see the highest click response.

For example, out of five new articles, Smart Sort will determine which ones most resemble the articles performing best with your customers, then rank the five pieces.

Then, when your sales or marketing team goes to curate which pieces will be used, they aren’t just seeing what aligns best with their criteria or what resembles what they clicked in the past  but which articles your audience will be interested in.

Smart Sort gets smarter over time as you continue to use UpContent, so the more articles you share, the better your recommendations will be!

Drive 24% safer with BlyncSync!

/in /by

BlyncSyncAcross 5 trucking companies, drivers tested BlyncSync for 2 months at a time, and realized an average of 24% fewer unsafe driving indicators such as abrupt braking, speeding, and swerving.

BlyncSync has launched their LITE version on blyncsync.com and is available for anyone to order. This first version features smart glasses that track blinking and posture with the nosepiece, and a phone app that syncs with the glasses, displays your body’s energy level (e.g. 85% out of 100%), and saves it on a timeline.

This is a unique approach because it focuses on the root cause of the issue, and provides data in advance to help with decision making even before the day begins: fatigue and distraction are the leading causes of traffic accidents, and knowing your body’s energy level gives you a sense of when you can expect to feel fatigued.

For trucking companies, fatigue is something they can now quantify and incorporate seamlessly to into their existing training and operations; enhancing safety awareness.

From a tech perspective, BlyncSync is revolutionary. BlyncSync is a device-agnostic platform, so as new wearable tech becomes available in the market, BlyncSync will be able to make them compatible, and be able to provide additional insight across multiple sources of data. This allows BlyncSync to be able to service a wide range of safety-concious industries.

The next wearables we are looking to integrate are the popular smart-watches. We are seeking investment growth capital.

Covira and the Fight to End Post-Surgical Infections

/in /by

Covira is a biotech company spun out from the University of Chicago that develops drugs to modulate the gut microbiome. Covira’s lead asset is focused on prevention of post-surgical infections. The company projects that the FDA approval process could take 4-5 years to complete.

“We are really at the cutting-edge of microbiome research, and our work stands to prevent both the incidence and progression of post-surgical infection and its subsequent development of disability and mortality. Our team is led by Dr. John Alverdy, MD, a world authority in this field whose knowledge led us to be named one of the top twenty most innovative companies by Business Worldwide Magazine,” said Covira CEO Peter Farmakis.

With over 230 million surgeries performed worldwide every year, the work that Covira is doing couldn’t be any more timely or important. Despite advances in infection control practices, post-surgical infections remain a substantial cause of prolonged hospitalization, readmissions, morbidity and can lead to life-threatening sepsis or death. Preventing the extreme outcomes and saving lives is the driving force behind Covira mission.
