Dine genius, LLc

Dine Genius will help restaurants fill unused seats and add incremental revenue through an app based marketing solution. Our app allows restaurants to use hyperlocal marketing to attract potential diners by using geolocation to display their daily menu specials. Users can see daily food and drink specials closest to them and decide to visit the restaurant.

Fix mob, inc

Snap. Send. Fixed! FixMob is a mobile app helping organizations simplify their maintenance communication with end users. Frustrated by traditional means of communicating with maintenance teams (difficult-to-find phone numbers, convoluted web forms, endless email threads, sticky notes), FixMob was co-founded in Charlotte in 2017 by Nic Gavalas and Mark Vande Guchte. They are two UNC alumni determined to build a better maintenance communication ecosystem.

shandoka power

As electric vehicles become more common globally, the useful lifetime of the batteries can be expected to outlast many of the cars – whether through damage to the car but not the batteries or by slow degradation of storage capacity. These batteries have many applications after their OEM parameters for retirement have been reached. I founded Shandoka Power to develop specific vehicular applications for secondary use of OEM Automotive EV battery packs, particularly for the conversion of carbureted Motorcycles, Nostalgia Vehicles and Classic Cars where the absolute power-to-weight ratio of batteries is not a critical design requirement, and the benefit of removing the out-dated, inefficient, internal combustion engine is greatest.
