Byrd is a coaching platform that works around everyday life to keep people running. It asserts that its unique EQAI-coach uses 1 billion variables to coach people to their goal, whether that’s simply to remain healthy or to hit a specific event. The company estimates that 200 million people were running globally in 2018. It seeks to target this group and become a contender in a fitness market that is estimated to be worth $2.4 billion. The company has created and tested two beta versions of its Android and iOS apps. It points out that it has conducted surveys involving hundreds of runners clocking in 20,000 km of running and incorporated that data into its portal. Byrd argues that its app has been built on Google Cloud infrastructure and is ready to horizontally scale. It will use 40% of the investment in product evolution, 20% in acquisition, 23% towards marketing, and 17% towards enriching customer experience.

Caldera is a heat battery company that seeks to institutionalise zero-carbon energy solutions for the masses. It asserts that its 'Zero Carbon Boiler' is a direct replacement to an oil or gas boiler by providing low-cost renewable electricity as heat for later use on demand by the homeowner. The company asserts that the boiler consists of two elements. The first is Caldera's proprietary 'Warmstone Heat Battery' that can be charged by low-cost electricity from the grid, store that electricity for 24 hours and provide it on demand. The second is a 'Heat Interface Unit' (HIU) that replaces the existing boiler. Caldera believes that low electricity prices always tend to occur when the source of electricity is also low carbon. It will use the investment to grow its business across different verticals.
