DETROIT – The Great Lakes Angels and the Detroit Canadian Consulate General will co host the 4th Annual Can-Am Investor Opportunity Night June 12th to showcase deals from both sides of the border. The deadline for registration is June 6th. This event has limited space and fills up quickly so register as soon as possible.
Four exciting companies will present elevator pitches:
.
is a Private Cable Operator (PCO) focused on Multi-unit Dwellings. We install all equipment on the Owner’s Property to deliver video, internet and telephone services. NeX3 is unique in that we are one of the few companies that were designed to deliver the complete technology, Video, Internet and Phone through a single wire. Services are bought at a bulk rate allowing a significant return to be achieved.
Our approach focuses on the customization of services to improve the operating performance of a property. This includes financial improvement through the ability to share in revenue generated from services, (improving the bottom line) and through improvement to the property infrastructure by providing “Triple Play” services that include video content tailored for the demographic tastes of the tenants, internet and phone, plus additional options such as security systems, mobile phone, and Wi-Fi- access for common areas (improving desirability of the property for tenants). This approach provides clear differentiation from incumbent providers that have a very low satisfaction level within most properties.
Wind Catcher Analytical Design Service Corp. (ADSC) was incorporated in 1985 with the goal of providing outstanding computer aided engineering consulting services. ADSC has successfully provided services to a wide range of customers (GM, Ford, Toyota, Detroit Edison, etc.) and industries such as automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and power generation.
Twenty-three years of a proven engineering track record has given ADSC this opportunity to incorporate a new company called WindCatcher to improve and commercialize its efficient, novel, and robust vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) design. WindCatcher will exclusively license the technology from ADSC in return for royalty payments made to ADSC. ADSC will be the exclusive provider of engineering services to WindCatcher as part of the licensing arrangement. This will enable WindCatcher to focus on commercializing the product with ADSC providing the engineering, manufacturing, and design talent to keep well ahead of the competition.
The goal is to achieve a significantly higher capacity factor as compared to current industry levels of approximately 22% achieved by the predominant horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) designs. The omni-directional variable capacity wind turbines are placed atop towers to capture the higher wind speeds from any direction, while having 3 or 4 blades instead of two to capture more energy. The intelligent control system combined with the newly designed direct drive generator improves the output efficiency by quickly adjusting its rotational speed to match changes in the wind speeds, and has significantly less costs and internal friction than the standard gear system coupled generators.
develops and produces multifunctional materials that are based on our xGnP�?� brand graphene nano-platelets. We manufacture these nano-platelets through proprietary techniques that allow us to control their size and surface characteristics.
We have also pioneered an efficient low-cost process that allows us to uniformly decorate the surface of our graphene nano-platelets with nanoparticles from a variety of metal, metal oxide and semiconductor compositions ranging from 1 to 5 nm in diameter and at compositions up to 60 w%. This gives us the ability to tailor multi-functional materials that take advantage of exceptionally large surface area to mass ratios of active metals and metal oxides for applications such as catalysis, lithium-ion battery electrodes, supercapacitors, solar cells, and energy storage. A recent publication even demonstrates that our conductive graphene nano-platelets, surface-treated with sensitized molecules, can be used to produce highly sensitive bio-sensors.
FirstSentinel uses software solutions are deployed in over 60 fire safety engineering firms coast-to-coast across Canada. Equally important, their new fire department pre-incident planning application has met with huge success since being rolled out six months ago.
With no prior marketing and only telemarketing, the company has achieved the following fire department acceptance: six purchases completed, seven
departments in further information gathering, and eleven in product testing / budgeting. The Canadian and U.S. market is comprised of 12,000 fire safety engineering firms, 38,000 fire departments and 19,000 police departments. This N.A. market represents an opportunity over $1 billion. As the products are readily convertible to other languages the European Union is another $1 billion opportunity.
The company has pioneered a Web-based integrated suite of applications that allows organizations to configure and manage regulated documents and emergency pre-incident and tactical plans. Also, for the first time, they have solved the �??interoperability�?� (1) (2) problem of communicating between police, fire and EMS no matter what prior software is used. The products are unsurpassed in delivering the industry’s most cost effective, flexible and adaptive solution for any regulated and/or emergency environment.
