EigenH AIEigenH AI builds an AI patient-access and front-desk software platform for independent healthcare practices. Its agents manage patient calls, appointment scheduling and rescheduling, recalls, follow-up and insurance-eligibility preparation within practice-approved rules, escalating urgent, uncertain or clinical questions to staff. The current official site identifies US nephrology groups as its first live specialty. Scheduler, Recaller and Verifier are labeled live; Referrer, Authorizer and Nourisher are labeled beta. Prior-authorization paperwork and nutrition appointment/education workflows remain staff-supervised. Its optional AI Ops services combine human operational teams with AI for revenue cycle, coding, verification, credentialing, scribing, marketing and websites. These are administrative healthcare tools, not established clinical diagnostic or treatment products. The vendor describes scheduling integration through NexHealth. Security and compliance claims are vendor disclosures; its written business-associate agreement and AWS hosting statements are not independent clinical validation or an asserted regulatory product clearance. Identity reviewed October8,2026: its own company page, privacy policy and August7,2026 terms identify EigenH AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with registered corporate office at131 ContinentalDrive,Suite305,Newark,Delaware19713. The office is explicitly corporate identification only, not an operating or support office. Its own linked corporate LinkedIn identifies Austin,Texas as headquarters and founded2026; exact statutory registration identifier and incorporation day are not established in reviewed primary material. The official domain eigenh.ai is directly linked by founder DheerajInampudi on his personal site. Native and read-only SQL aliases/domain checks found no existing company, only a mention within his former employer Circuitry.ai. This company is distinct from Circuitry.ai and no historical employer finance or roles are transferred. Older dental-focused five-agent launch descriptions are time-qualified; current live/beta and nephrology scope follow the official website rather than stale secondary profiles. Published public-team scope comprises six individually evidenced people: founder DheerajInampudi, founding AI engineer KarthikRommula, founding engineer ShaikMahammadJani, AI automation/voice-workflow engineer BaladityaSaiChinni, cloud engineer BheemaSubramanyeswarReddyTatiparthi, and healthcare product professional HarshaSanamandra. Own individual professional posts and the named engineering-team acknowledgement corroborate the affiliations. Harsha’s exact formal company rank is not published, so the role is scoped to the publicly evidenced team rather than assuming an executive title. Appointment days and a complete private payroll roster are unpublished; the directory’s seven-employee count does not supply a seventh identifiable person. Dheeraj’s authentic personal-site portrait and substantive biography are reused without changing his historical Circuitry engineering role. Authentic new portraits are used only where individually named first-hand assets can be obtained; inaccessible or anonymously labeled directory pictures remain documented gaps, with no guessed image/name associations. Financing and investments: no primary announcement of an equity/debt financing, investor, grant, valuation, ticket or outbound investment was found in the reviewed official company pages, founder/team disclosures and focused funding searches. This is an evidence gap, not a claim that no private financing exists. No round or investor participation is invented. Its2026 AIBoomi VerticalVelocity/Caravan participation is source-reported founder-market-learning activity, not proof of a paid grant or institutional equity check. Service pricing, customer revenue, platform demonstrations and illustrative operational examples are not investment proceeds.
- Daniel Tully
Daniel Tully, also publicly referred to as Dan Tully, is a 111° West Capital investment-team affiliate identified by his own current professional profile and investment commentary. His public statements discuss institutional backing of Healia, Arine and Cherry; these statements do not establish personal contributions. Secondary directories describe a principal title and earlier healthcare investment banking, but the retrieved primary profile hides the employment details. Those titles and education are therefore not asserted here. He is distinct from existing David, Michael, Mike and Tim Tully records.
- Sarah Pennebaker
Sarah Pennebaker, CIPM, confirms a continuing 111° West Capital affiliation in her own professional statement announcing Outlier CFO with Oscar Ku. She describes strategic CFO support for venture firms and growing companies. Her own profile documents prior Aduro Advisors work, Texas Christian University attendance and CIPM certification. Secondary directories describe a senior director of finance title, but the retrieved primary statement does not independently confirm it. The manager role records the verified affiliation without that title or guessed employment dates. Her authentic portrait was not retrievable.
- Andrew Brooks
Andrew Brooks is a physician investor publicly affiliated with 111° West Capital. Fund I’s July 16, 2021 primary Form D names him managing member of the issuer’s general partner; this historical filing does not establish a separately verified current statutory manager office. His current own professional profile describes healthcare software investing. TigerConnect’s current leadership biography identifies him as co-founder and chief medical officer, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. He previously founded Specialty Surgical Center and Cardo Medical, sold in 2005 and 2011 respectively. His named native TigerConnect portrait was identified but publisher retrieval is blocked, so no substitute image is supplied.
Michael MatlyMichael Matly is a physician-trained healthcare software investor and co-founder/managing partner of 111° West Capital. The manager’s March 31, 2026 Form ADV identifies him as its statutory managing member. Orexo’s 2022 own nomination biography documents an MBA from Harvard Business School, medical doctorate from Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Cornell BS. His earlier career includes Montreux Growth Partners and Mayo Clinic business development and investments. His own current professional profile confirms the 111° West affiliation and healthcare software focus. Orexo board service is historical: its 2024 AGM notice says he declined reelection. No present Orexo board appointment or personal investment check is inferred.
111 West Capital111° West Capital is the healthcare enterprise-software investment brand of 111 West Capital LLC, SEC exempt reporting adviser CRD325776 / file802-127943, verified in its March31,2026 annual FormADV. Its own site describes a multi-stage approach to commercial-stage companies, with an investment team and operator network supporting healthcare software businesses. Public first-party statements and statutory filings identify physician investors Michael Matly and Andrew Brooks, investment-team affiliate Daniel Tully and finance affiliate Sarah Pennebaker; the minimalist public website does not publish a complete staff directory. Matly is the current statutory managing member; Brooks signed FundI’s2021 filing as managing member of its general partner. Verified issuer announcements identify participation in Codoxo’s AI healthcare payment-integrity financings; own professional posts also identify Arine, Cherry, KODEHealth, Canopy and Healia backing, without transferring the founders’ earlier Montreux or personal portfolios to the manager. FundI and FundII are distinct Delaware pooled vehicles, with separate named investment LLCs. Reported securities subscriptions are distinguished from offering targets, asset values and issuer tickets: FundII’s May27,2026 amendment reports119,645,000USD sold in an indefinite offering, not a confirmed final close. Three smaller2025 filings report their stated offerings fully sold. Missing public-directory coverage, three authentic portrait gaps and unverified current titles are explicit research gaps; no unnamed fund or exact issuer allocation is inferred.
Sean CunliffeSean Cunliffe is a Birmingham-based investment-team member of450 Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. His own public professional profile identifies his affiliation and investment work, and his own2025 Codoxo funding commentary confirms450 Ventures increased its investment in generative-AI healthcare payment integrity. He has also publicly described450 Ventures’ collaboration with Greens by Xplosion Technology on adolescent and young-adult diabetes technology. A precise current managerial rank, appointment day and complete career chronology are not independently verified here. He is distinct from the Canadian biotechnology executive with the same name.
- 450 Ventures
450 Ventures is the corporate venture investment arm associated with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. Alabama Department of Insurance’s examination of BCBS Alabama as of December31,2022 identifies the exact legal entity 450 Ventures LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary, with an administrative services agreement effective January1,2022. That agreement describes services supporting administration of health benefit plans; it does not establish a separately closed venture fund. This profile is distinct from the unrelated 2025 Florida company with the same name. Its source-verified investment activity includes healthcare technology and artificial intelligence. Codoxo’s December17,2025 SeriesC issuer announcement names450 Ventures as an existing investor participating in the35M financing, and explicitly identifies it as BCBS Alabama’s venture arm. Sean Cunliffe’s own public statement confirms additional investment in Codoxo and describes its generative-AI payment-integrity applications. These are administrative healthcare software claims, not independent clinical validation. The verified publicly attributable investment-team member is Sean Cunliffe, whose own profile and posts explicitly identify his450 Ventures affiliation. No complete unit-specific public staff directory or standalone authentic unit logo was located. Parent-company executives are not inferred to be venture-unit employees, and its parent’s brand is not substituted for a missing unit mark. No standalone unit domain, verified founding year or closed LP capital pool has been established. Corporate budgets, insurer surplus and the2022 administrative agreement are not treated as LP fund closes.

HBAN MedTech SyndicateHBAN MedTech Syndicate is the Irish medical-technology business-angel syndicate identified by the national HBAN network and its own medtechsyndicate.com website. Its own current history dates formation to2014. HBAN describes the community as Galway-based; its own administrative correspondence address is No1 Grant’s Row, Dublin2. It backs early-stage medical devices, diagnostics and digital health, including neurological technologies NeuroBell, Neuromod and Vertigenius and AI pathology company Deciphex. It is distinct from the unrelated plural-domain medtechsyndicates.com venture business. The syndicate is a club owned by its business-angel members, not a regulated venture-capital fund. Individual members make final investment decisions; pooled holdings use a nominee limited company and investment funds pass through solicitors’ client accounts. Its own FAQ identifies Medtech Syndicate Nominee Ltd as a Department of Justice-registered trust/company service provider and explicitly says it is not regulated by the Central Bank. The primary Irish CRO2024 annual-return gazette identifies that nominee as company543136, Medtech Syndicate Nominee Limited. A2018 CRO name-change gazette records an earlier HBAN-prefixed nominee name; the later name-restoration date is unpublished. The club and nominee are related operational/legal scopes, not assumed identical treasury accounts or duplicate institutional buyers. The exact subscribing nominee or member vehicles in individual company financings remain unpublished unless expressly named. No separate LP fund, fund close or club balance-sheet investment is inferred. All five people published in its own current leadership directory are recorded with genuine named original portraits: chair Yvan Gouttebelle and directors Bridget O’Brien, Colin Henehen, Pat Coakley and John Sisk. Colin’s former chairship is historical. Public testimonials use abbreviated names and are not treated as an identifiable full member roster. The website’s80members,25companies and EUR31M invested describe cumulative syndicate activity, not a new fund close, available corpus or individual company cash allocation. NeuroBell’s primary university announcements expressly identify the HBAN MedTech syndicate as a co-leader of the EUR2.1M seed secured in Q4,2023 and announced January8,2024, and a returning participant in the USD5.5M financing announced June30,2026. These published syndicate relationships represent member-mediated backing; individual tickets and the exact nominee subscriber are undisclosed. The company owner records one qualified participation per actual financing. Other public portfolio names are audited separately before company or cash attribution.

In an August2023 firsthand interview, Mohnacky states that pre-seed financing was raised with Fund participation, without disclosing cash or an exact closing date.

He holds aBSinFinance fromRutgersCollege and anMBAinFinance/StrategicManagement fromWharton.

Founder primary posts confirm currentAI/deeptech portfolio diligence and support for entrepreneurs.
- Holden Neer
Holden Neer is publicly identified by Neer Venture Partners founderBrianNeer as a technical due-diligence contributor assessing Rasyn’sAIchemistry technology and portfolio work involvingSiPhoxHealth,Adaptyv andMaverickX. The founder calls him achemicalengineeringgraduate student. His own primary profile andPrincetonNuEnergy’s publicinternintroduction confirm ChemicalEngineeringMSstudy atColumbiaUniversity, aNanoEngineering bachelor’sdegree atUCSanDiego, and battery/electrochemistry/nanomaterials research with silicon-based compositeanodes. These facts identify the namedtechnical contributor; they do not establish investmentpartnership, salariedemployment, a completedColumbiaMSdegree, personalchecks or exactappointmentdates. A genuine caption-boundpublicheadshot was not verified; no syntheticportrait substituted.
Neer Venture PartnersNeer Venture Partners is an early-stage venture investment platform founded by Brian Neer, concentrating on fintech and emerging markets while also backing B2B software, AI and selected deep technologies. Its own current strategy covers seed through Series A, targets150–200 investments with typicalUSD100,000–500,000 checks and considers established founding teams, product-market-fit evidence and large addressable markets. These figures are strategy parameters, not actual company allocations. The own website excludes healthcare, pure cryptocurrency and vice as its general mandate, although the actual published portfolio includes health/biotechnology-related holdings; no neuroscience specialization is asserted. The legal operator is active Florida Neer Venture Partners LLC, documentL23000329216, filedJuly11,2023 and effectiveJuly3,2023. BrianGNeer is its statutorymanager and registeredagent, and the January27,2026 annualreport confirms continuity. His FINRA record independently identifies Neer Venture Partners as an investment-related owner activity beginningApril2023. The public brand is distinct from similarly named Pioneer and other unrelated managers. An own founder announcement identifies a newer operating office at319ClematisStreet in WestPalmBeach’s1909 ecosystem; the PalmBeachGardens registration address is separate. The official website publishes founder and chiefinvestmentofficer Brian Neer, with an authentic original portrait and primary biography describing credit/derivatives/deal-structuring experience atMorganStanley, foundingCournotCapital and Rutgers/Wharton degrees. A recent founder-owned technical-investment announcement also explicitly names HoldenNeer as a technical due-diligence contributor, including work onRasyn,SiPhoxHealth,Adaptyv andMaverickX; his affiliation is recorded as a contributor, not an inferred investmentpartner or salariedemployee. His genuine portrait remains an unresolved public-asset gap. The own companyLinkedIn description calls the platform aUSD25Mseedfund. No source-proven closed amount, legal subscribingLPvehicle or completedclosingday is available, so this is qualified marketing scale rather than a recorded fundraise or AUM. The website’s current selected portfolio has94 linkedcards including positive and negative exits; repeatedlogos and legacy domainchanges require issueridentity audits. bundleIQ is explicitly listed and separately welcomed by Brian with its threefounders. Portfolio evidence alone doesnot establish an exact fundingdate, ticket, fundallocation or stage. Relevant AI/deeptechnology discoveries include Rasyn’s chemistrymodels, Adaptyv’s automatedbiology, EarthGrid, opticalfilters, developer/agenttools and enterpriseAI software; missingcompanyprofiles are queued for full primary audits.

- Mosley Ventures
Mosley Ventures is an Atlanta-based seed and early-stage technology investor focused on the southeastern United States, including security software, big data, digital media, mobility and healthcare IT. Primary Invest Georgia reporting dates the platform’s founding to2013 and identifies investment partners Sig Mosley, Wei-Chun Tai and John Vecchio. Its own published directory additionally names entrepreneur in residence Scott Hrastar; the undated legacy biographies are retained as published affiliations, not a claim that every person remains a2026 employee. Georgia’s January2016 annual registration verifies MOSLEY VENTURES LLC, control12072732, at75 Fifth Street NW Suite328 Atlanta; this historical legal proof does not establish current registration status. The separate MOSLEY VENTURES LP is independently identified in Lucena Research’s SEC ownership schedule, not as this manager’s own adviser registration. The manager announced onDecember2,2022 that its first fund is fully deployed, it will not raise another fund, and it will continue supporting existing portfolio companies; the current homepage repeats that status. Invest Georgia’s3.25M commitment and December2016 payment of50% describe one LP subscription, not total fund corpus or new company financing. Fund size and final closing day remain unpublished in the verified primary sources. Actual issuer announcements identify Mosley as a participant in FraudScope/Codoxo’s2017 seed and2020 SeriesA. Original manager logo and three original team portraits are currently inaccessible; these asset gaps are explicit, and no unrelated or generated branding is substituted.

Rodney SampsonRodney Sampson is the founder and executive chairman of Opportunity Hub. His own first-person CodeStart account documents a collaboration in which TechSquare Labs housed a youth cohort and provided corporate innovation and entrepreneurial training. Opportunity Hub’s primary 2020 presentation documents the late-2015 merger of its coworking assets with TechSquare Labs. This records a historical collaboration and venture-building affiliation, without inferring a current salaried TechSquare position or assigning an unsupported partner title. His current own Opportunity Hub page identifies his leadership separately.
- Ben Dyer
Ben Dyer joined TechSquare Capital as a venture partner by December 2017, according to the primary Invest Georgia annual report.

He founded Peachtree Software, Comsell and Intellimedia and previously taught entrepreneurship at the University of Texas at Austin. His documented TechSquare affiliation is historical; no current role or appointment day is inferred. No sufficiently verified identity-specific primary portrait was recovered.

She founded The Ambition Fund and co-led Ascend 2020 Atlanta and co-founded BuiltxWomen. Her earlier career included oncology nursing. She is an entrepreneur, educator and advocate focused on access to capital and mentorship.

Allen NanceAllen Nance co-founded TechSquare Labs with Paul Judge in 2014. Invest Georgia’s own 2017 annual report identifies him as managing partner of TechSquare Capital, the associated Atlanta seed-stage software and technology fund established in 2016. His operating background includes founding WhatCounts, later sold to Riverside, and co-founding e-commerce marketing-automation company Springbot. The League VC’s public community directory identifies him as a founder and TechSquare Labs partner. These affiliations are source-qualified; an inactive original firm domain does not independently establish a current employment contract.

It backs early- and mid-stage enterprise technology businesses and helps portfolio companies reach Wipro’s business units and customers. Relevant investments include healthcare-payment AI company Codoxo and software, data infrastructure, cybersecurity and automation businesses. It is represented as the corporate investment platform, not an independently verified third-party LP fund manager or an additional parent-company buyer. The official current directory publishes nine investment, business-development, finance and marketing professionals. Wipro describes Fund II’s January 2020 USD150 million closing as an additional internal capital allocation. The original 2015 USD100 million programme and February 2025 USD200 million commitment to Fund III are corporate commitments; cumulative USD500 million capital under management is not another fund close. Exact underlying legal subscriber vehicles and capital-call payment schedules remain unpublished. Wipro Ventures is distinct from Wipro Consumer Care Ventures, Wipro Enterprises and similarly named investment firms.
Ali WastiAli Wasti is a managing partner of Wipro Ventures. He previously headed Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Pathfinder Ventures and invested at Azure Capital Partners, focusing on AI, enterprise software, cloud infrastructure and security.

His earlier Wipro roles covered financial-services sales and presales, infrastructure and cloud services. His biography records information-systems certifications and an MBA in finance and marketing from Loyola Institute in Chennai.
TechSquare LabsTechSquare Labs is an Atlanta company-building studio and seed-investment platform founded by Allen Nance and Paul Judge in 2014. Invest Georgia’s primary annual report identifies the original business as Tech Square Labs LLC and distinguishes the associated TechSquare Capital fund, established in 2016, from Blake Patton’s unrelated Tech Square Ventures. Its documented strategy backs early-stage software and technical founders in Atlanta, including AI healthcare fraud-detection company FraudScope, now Codoxo. The studio provided coworking, corporate innovation and founder support, with Atlanta Startup Battle as a sourcing programme. The associated fund held its final close in November 2017 with USD12.65 million of capitalization. This is closed fund capitalization, not proof that all commitments were paid in cash; the state LP reported only 47 percent of its USD1 million commitment contributed by year end. Portfolio counts can include purchased or contributed securities, and founder operating businesses are not automatically institutional investments. The original techsquare.co domain is unavailable and techsquarecapital.com currently returns a site-not-configured page. Current operating status and a complete current payroll roster are not established. Founder and venture-partner affiliations are qualified by their historical source dates, while Tanya Sam’s current self-published biography still lists the partnerships role without an appointment date. The authentic historical wordmark is retained from the firm’s own publication. Neither the unrelated Tech Square Ventures manager nor techsquare.ai services company is merged into this identity.
Randy BrouckmanRandy Brouckman is publicly named Randy Brouckmann in Lookout Ventures’ current directory, serving as Operating Partner. Multi-time CEO, most recently EdgeConnex in data center / cloud infrastructure space (multi $B exit) EdgeConneX’s own executive biography uses Randy Brouckman and independently confirms his prior TDF partner and entrepreneur-in-residence role.

The historical appointment is preserved while2026 reports identify Kenneth Santora as acting deputy; no exact end date or current neuroscience-director role is inferred.
- Patrick Shirdon
Patrick Shirdon appears in NIA’s public about directory as director of management. The listing is recorded as published institutional affiliation, with current tenure explicitly unverified. No identification with similarly named external college executives or unrelated professional biographies is assumed.
- Samir Sauma
Samir Sauma appears in NIA’s public about directory as acting associate director for scientific strategy, innovation and management. His2022 NIH oral history describes work directing the Office of Planning, Analysis and Evaluation and previous National Cancer Institute experience. The directory title is retained with current tenure unverified because direct NIA directory retrieval is blocked.
- Chee Chia
Chee Chia is named by NIA as a staff clinician. Its May2021 director’s report records appointment as deputy clinical director of the Intramural Research Program in February2021. The earlier deputy appointment is explicitly dated and is not an assumed uninterrupted current title.
- Rachel Saré
Rachel Saré is a programme officer in the Neurobiology of Aging and Neurodegeneration Branch of NIA’s Division of Neuroscience. Its May2026 report records her April28 congressional briefing hosted by the Sleep Research Society and names her as a scientific programme contact.
- Chhanda Dutta
Chhanda Dutta is named as acting deputy director of NIA’s Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology in its September2026 report. She briefed congressional appropriations staff with director Richard Hodes on menopause research in May2026. This institutional research role does not imply individual investment activity.
- Xin Yuan
Xin Yuan, M.D., Ph.D., is the acting director of NIA’s Division of Extramural Activities Office of the Director in its September10,2025 directory. The office oversees advisory-council coordination, grant application assignments, human-subjects review and extramural-policy guidance. The profile does not assume identity with differently credentialed Jean (Xin) Yuan in a historical neuroscience listing.
- Evan Hadley
Evan Hadley describes the priorities and translational research of NIA’s Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology in a June2024 first-person official article as its director. That dated leadership role is retained with subsequent tenure unverified, without assigning an invented departure date.
- Stacy Carrington-Lawrence
Stacy Carrington-Lawrence is identified as acting director of NIA’s Division of Aging Biology in its FY2025 congressional justification. Its September2026 report names her as an aging-intervention research workshop contact. The older acting-director title is dated, rather than asserted as an independently confirmed October2026 appointment.
- Lisbeth Nielsen
Lisbeth (Lis) Nielsen directs NIA’s Division of Behavioral and Social Research. Its current public listing describes social, behavioral, psychological and economic aging and Alzheimer’s research. Her March2020 appointment announcement describes prior NIA programme and branch leadership and research on affect, decision-making and aging.
Josephine M. EganJosephine M. Egan is NIA clinical director and a senior investigator in its Laboratory of Clinical Investigation. Her NIH biography describes endocrinology training at the University of Virginia, joining NIA in July1990, and research on aging, pancreatic beta-cell function, diabetes and incretin biology.
Luigi FerrucciLuigi Ferrucci is NIA scientific director and a geriatrician studying the biological and clinical processes of aging.

- Kenneth Santora

His published responsibilities include extramural research policy, grant oversight and communication of aging research priorities.
National Institute on AgingThe National Institute on Aging (NIA) is a United States federal biomedical research institute within the National Institutes of Health, established in1974 under PublicLaw93-296. It conducts and supports research on aging, older adults’ health and well-being, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias through intramural laboratories, extramural grants, training and small-business research programmes. Its neuroscience and deep-technology relevance includes neurobiology of aging, dementia prevention and care, clinical and imaging technologies, sleep research, behavioral science, genomics and translational aging research. NIA is a public institutional grant provider, not a private venture capital firm or a separately inferred NIH investment fund. Richard Hodes remains institute director inSeptember2026 reports; Kenneth Santora is acting deputy director in2026 and directs extramural activities. NIH’s own investigator biographies verify LuigiFerrucci as scientific director and JosephineEgan as clinical director. The profile records publicly named institute/division leaders and relevant programme staff with source-date qualifications. Older public-directory titles for AmyKelley, EvanHadley, StacyCarrington-Lawrence, SamirSauma and PatrickShirdon are not silently treated as independently verifiedOctober2026 appointments. July2026 recruitment for the neuroscience division director does not establish an incumbent. NIA’s site currently returnsHTTP405 for direct directory and portrait retrieval; this prevents verification of the complete institute-wide staff directory and some public headshots. Two original caption-bound NIH IntramuralResearchProgram portraits and the authentic archived government NIA wordmark are verified, and existing shared NIH person images and roles are preserved. Federal appropriations, proposed budgets and programme envelopes are not LP fund closes, fundraising proceeds or paid issuer cash. NIH RePORTER identifies NIA as the administering/funding institute for six separately sourced SleepSpace/ProactiveLife small-business awards; the issuer owner links exact award amounts and notice dates, without duplicating a parent NIH participation or asserting disbursement dates.

WilstarWilstar is an Oslo-based impact platform associated with the Arne and Lise Wilhelmsen family office. It combines grants for non-commercial solutions, catalytic impact-first investments and commercial venture investments. Its social priorities include education, economic inclusion and female empowerment; its environmental and technology priorities include marine conservation, ocean innovation, sustainable buildings and health. The platform traces its origins to the family’s nonprofit social-impact activities and now publishes two distinct investment arms: Wilstar Innovate, focused on financial returns and sustainable technology, and Wilstar Impact Investing, focused on measurable social and environmental outcomes. Its public portfolio classifies philanthropy separately from investments. Norwegian company records separately identify Wilstar AS, organization number 918306870; the group website’s board is presented as a published Wilstar board rather than assumed to be this company’s statutory board.
Wilstar Impact InvestingWilstar Impact Investing is the impact-first arm of the Arne Wilhelmsen family office. It supports social entrepreneurs and environmental change-makers in Norway and internationally, aiming to produce measurable and lasting impact. Its published programme areas include education, female empowerment and marine conservation.

The legal company is Wilstar Impact Investing AS, organization number 994211900, incorporated in 2009. It is a separate entity from the finance-first Wilstar Innovate AS. Neither corporate accounts, registered share capital nor philanthropic budgets are treated as a closed venture-fund corpus.

Honeywell VenturesHoneywell Ventures is Honeywell’s corporate venture-investment platform for early-stage technology companies. Honeywell’s May 2017 launch announcement states that investments are made through Honeywell Venture Capital LLC, a wholly owned corporate subsidiary. The Delaware LLC remains listed in Honeywell’s official affiliate list updated August 13, 2026; it is distinct from similarly named UK holding companies and unrelated Honeywell businesses. Its published technology scope covers industrial software and analytics, autonomous systems, aerospace, materials, life sciences and sustainability. Source-proven investments include pharmaceutical manufacturing AI company Aizon (formerly Bigfinite) and Electric Hydrogen. Aizon’s 2019 Series B investment is distinct from the parties’ later commercial collaboration. The launch’s expected approximately USD100 million initial investment allocation is a corporate programme announcement, not evidence of an externally raised LP fund or an actual final fund close; no such closed fund is asserted. Public 2026 and 2025 conference sources identify Victor Yang and Paul Kingston respectively; four former leaders are explicitly recorded as historical. The accessible Honeywell-authored venture microsite contains dated 2023 assets and stale staff information, so its team and portfolio are not asserted to be an exhaustive current directory. The logo is the genuine shared Honeywell brandmark published in Aizon’s own investor list; a distinct current venture-unit wordmark is not verified.

He subsequently joined Black & Veatch and is identified by its current official biography as Chief Business Evolution Officer. His career includes senior Honeywell commercial positions.

Victor YangVictor Yang is identified as Senior Investment Manager at Honeywell Venture Capital in the official May 2026 SpaceTech Economic Forum programme.

National Science FoundationThe U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency established by Congress under the National Science Foundation Act of1950, PublicLaw81-507. It promotes science, national health, prosperity and welfare, and national defense primarily through research and education grants, institutional partnerships and scientific infrastructure. The exact nsf.gov institution is retained independently of NIH, other federal agencies, private foundations, similarly named international research councils and individual public officials. It is a public grantmaking institution, not a commercial venture manager, investment bank or LP fund. NSF supports fundamental science and engineering, including AI, computing, biological and cognitive science, advanced engineering, quantum research, research infrastructure and technology translation. Its general basic-research mandate excludes medical sciences, while technology-focused awards can address health-related applications such as SleepSpace’s wearable-and-sensory sleep research. Directorates and administrative offices are internal NSF units and are not duplicate institutional cash buyers. General agency appropriations, programme budgets, planned allocations, grant award obligations and actual recipient bank disbursements are distinct. No agency budget is recorded as a raised venture fund. The current primary public leadership directory names44 individuals across46 scoped leadership roles. It explicitly lists the NSF Director and DeputyDirector posts as vacant. BrianStone is Chief ofStaff performing the duties of the NSFDirector; RebeccaKeiser is ActingChief ofStaff. Acting designations and each office/directorate scope are preserved. The current NationalScienceBoard member page says new appointments are pending, so no older chair/member roster is asserted as current. The leadership directory is the complete named public leadership scope captured here, rather than a claimed census of the agency’s wider staff, programme officers or external advisers. Eight genuine adjacent primary publisher portraits are included;36 individually named portraits remain unverified and are explicitly documented rather than represented by placeholders. Earlier biography/photo captions do not override current official leadership titles. The institutional funding graph can represent source-proven research awards without implying equity ownership. NSF award1622766 names MobileSleepTechnologiesLLC, principal investigator DanielGartenberg, STTRPhaseI sleep-wearables/sensory research, June24,2016 award notice and July1 project start. Its USD224,996 obligated amount and matching estimated award total identify the same award, not two financings; bank disbursement is unproved. SleepSpace’s issuer owner maintains its sole exact award relationship. Individual leadership, research-supervision and principal-investigator roles do not establish personal investments. No private LP funds or corporate financing rounds are invented for the federal agency.

Ben GottliebBen Gottlieb is SleepSpace’s named historical iOS Frontend Developer in its2021–2022 issuer fundraising slide. It describes two decades of Apple-platform experience and five years engineering sleep-related iOS applications. The company’s current about page does not name him as current staff; this is an explicitly historical development affiliation, not an inferred present job or personal company investment.
Jeremiah J. MerrickJeremiah J. Merrick is SleepSpace’s named historical Chief Technical Officer in its2021–2022 Wefunder issuer team slide. The slide describes22years of development experience and work with large datasets, email campaigns and customer service. He is not present in the current about-page founder roster, so the role and genuine named original portrait are retained as historical rather than a presumed current executive appointment.
Dan RobertsDan Roberts, PhD, is SleepSpace’s published sleep-science research collaborator; its older named fundraising slide calls the same company sleep researcher Daniel Roberts, PhD, Chief Science Officer, describing EEG analysis, auditory perception and machine-learning expertise. The current about page supplies a source-aged Penn State postdoctoral caption. This sleep researcher is distinct from the existing Scout Alarm co-founder and product officer Daniel Roberts; no unrelated biography or private investment is merged.
Samantha Marie NagySamantha Marie Nagy, PhD, is a research collaborator named by SleepSpace with an undated University of Arizona postdoctoral-research caption. The issuer’s team-sam portrait matches that named collaborator. This source-aged academic collaboration is distinct from a verified current company employee, investor or present faculty appointment.
Sarah EmertSarah E. Emert, PhD, is a sleep research collaborator publicly named by SleepSpace, with an undated University of Arizona postdoctoral-research-fellow caption. Her genuine issuer portrait is stored under team-sarah. This affiliation is limited to the company’s published collaboration roster, without a presumed present university appointment, company employee status or personal financing.
Margeaux GreyMargeaux Grey, PhD, is the registered sleep technologist and sleep researcher named in SleepSpace’s published collaborator roster and labelled research-adviser collage. Its Penn State assistant-research-professor caption is source-aged context. The scope is a research collaboration, without a presumed company investment, executive job or independently verified current faculty appointment.
Orfeu BuxtonOrfeu Buxton, PhD, is the Penn State sleep researcher named and pictured in SleepSpace’s published collaborator roster and earlier research/adviser materials. Peer-reviewed disclosures describe academic subaward research from the company’s NSF/NIH projects. Academic collaboration and university subcontract funding are separate from a corporate equity check or a company employee appointment.
Daniel TaylorDaniel Taylor, PhD, is a sleep-science research collaborator publicly named by SleepSpace with University of Arizona professor and sleep-doctor context. The issuer also identifies him in its older research/adviser collage. This scoped collaboration does not automatically make him a company employee, current executive or investor; undated university titles require their own current appointment source.
Valorie WolfeValorie Wolfe, PhD, is the psychology adviser named in SleepSpace’s about roster and pictured in its current named clinical testimonial. The about page spells Valorie while the home-page testimonial spells Valerie; the shared psychology/Kaiser context supports one source-qualified identity. The external Kaiser Permanente lead-psychology caption is undated context, not newly verified current employment or a personal investor allocation.
Randall EvensRandall Evens, MD, is the pulmonologist named and pictured in SleepSpace’s combined investor/adviser roster and research-adviser slide. The source establishes a published clinical advisory affiliation, not a venture-investment ticket or an independently dated current employment appointment.
Amy CovenyAmy Coveny is publicly named in SleepSpace’s combined investor/adviser section and its earlier fundraising materials, which describe a Quake Capital operating/managing affiliation. Quake’s current leadership directory does not list her, so the outside manager caption is historical or source-aged rather than a new current Quake role. Institutional Quake investment and her advice are distinct from an unproved personal check.
Jeff FinkleJeff Finkle is named in SleepSpace’s combined investor/adviser roster with the external caption Chairman of Arc Angels. This is a source-qualified venture-network affiliation; the undated caption does not independently establish his current outside title, a company director appointment or a personally allocated financing check.
Martin BabinecMartin Babinec is the TriNet founder published in SleepSpace’s combined investors and advisers roster. His role supplies operating and entrepreneurship context, while the mixed roster does not establish a personal cash check, amount, date or current company board appointment. The issuer’s separate UpVentures institutional financing statement is not automatically a Martin personal investment. His current UpVentures biography identifies him as a Holdings co-founder. He founded TriNet in1988 and led it as CEO for its first twenty years, then chaired it through2010. His own Babinec.com biography identifies him as the founder of UpVentures Capital, StartFast Ventures and Upstate Venture Connect. These are distinct institutional affiliations; a corporate UpVentures investment does not establish a personal check.
Melissa MuellerMelissa Mueller is SleepSpace’s published co-founder and Chief Product Officer. Her primary biography describes more than two decades in product design, user research, product strategy, experience mapping, interface and brand development. She earned an honors psychology bachelor’s degree at Stanford and studied graphic design at Art Center College of Design.
SleepSpaceSleepSpace is a sleep-health technology company combining phone and wearable sensing, a digital sleep diary, adaptive auditory stimulation, smart-bedroom light integration, and behavior-change programmes informed by cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Its current products include a consumer app, clinician/research dashboards, Smart Bed or phone-based nearable sensing, sleep coaching and the Dr. Snooze AI conversational sleep coach. Sleep-stage estimates, consumer symptom support and research findings are distinct from a diagnostic authorisation or an independently established treatment claim. The company’s own science page explicitly distinguishes consumer sleep trends from diagnosing disorders; older crowdfunding promises of FDA approval in2022 do not establish an actual clearance. The current legal issuer is Proactive Life Inc., CIK1744917 and EIN270800635, independently named as the SleepSpace app’s Apple publisher and current NIH awardee. SEC submissions retain the previous Proactive Life LLC name; NIH/NSF and peer-reviewed investigator disclosures connect the earlier Mobile Sleep Technologies LLC sleep-research business to Proactive Life and the SleepSpace brand. This source-qualified legal history does not merge unrelated Proactive Life businesses, the Beta Service Agency app using a similar SleepSpace title, or Daniel Gartenberg’s personal investment in Neurosity. No exact incorporation or conversion day is inferred. The current issuer about page names founder/CEO Daniel Gartenberg and co-founder/Chief Product Officer Melissa Mueller, six combined investor/adviser affiliations, and six research collaborators. The combined investor/adviser section does not prove a personal check by each named person; external employer captions are undated context. Its2021–2022 crowdfunding team slide additionally names historical Chief Technical Officer Jeremiah J. Merrick, iOS Frontend Developer Ben Gottlieb and Chief Science Officer Daniel Roberts. Those earlier executive appointments are qualified historical, while the current site publishes Dan Roberts as a research collaborator. The SleepSpace sleep researcher is distinct from the Scout Alarm product-founder Daniel Roberts. Primary NIH records identify six separate fiscal-year NIA notices awarded to Proactive Life or its Mobile Sleep predecessor: USD348951 in2017,347058 in2018,1243520 in2020,1234826 in2021,50000 supplemental in2022, and499963 in2025. These are annual notice-award amounts, not duplicate full-project totals, equity rounds or bank-disbursement dates. NSF award1622766 separately reports224996USD obligated for its2016 STTR PhaseI project. The seven retrieved records total3949314USD; varying website claims of over3M/3.5M/4M are not added as additional financing. Research subawards to academic collaborators are not separately attributed as company equity. Its issuer-operated Wefunder page reports242414USD raised from67 investors, last fundedMarch2022. No exact closing day or unnamed crowd investors are invented. The same page describes more than1.2MUSD raised in a previous venture round including Quake Capital and UpVentures; because the precise amount/day/stage and allocation are unpublished, the retained prior-venture relationship keeps cash/day NULL. SEC lists2018 D/D-A and a2021 FormC; their inaccessible full documents remain a source gap, and offering targets are not treated as proceeds.
