Datefit
Datefit is a multidimensional technology firm focused on cutting edge mobile dating solutions. The company was co-founded in 2016 by Steven & Stacey Macecevic and partner John Gadd (CEO hotcards.com) with the idea of providing singles that are passionate about healthy living an inspiring place to connect and meet.
In September of 2016 the team built a temporary datefit website to gain proof of concept, over the course of a couple of months the site garnished thousands of users giving us evidence that datefit was more than just a good idea. Since then we have taken down the temporary platform and have begun building the datefit mobile app.
Datefit’s mobile app has basic mobile dating app functions but also incorporates very unique and appealing features. We’ve incorporated a fun daily matching system we call the “daily workout”, where each day members will receive 10 new matches and can either swipe left or right to engage in conversation if interested. In addition, new to the mobile dating world, datefit has an Instagram like activity feed where users can post images, goals and engage with other members in a fun and unique way giving the platform a sense of community.
In the datefit profile section users can fill out their goals, passions and other information about themselves giving potential matches a sense of what a particular user is like. Our goal with datefit is create a community and culture that inspires and motivate singles. Datefit members are looking to find love and inspire one another, all while building strong meaningful relationships through fitness and healthy lifestyle.
The past few months datefit has also built an A+ team of high level executives in the dating and marketing industries. Louis Bardov is former SVP at Match Group (match.com) and is our CTO and is also taking on an advisor roll. In addition we have brought on Donna Groppel another former match.com executive who is currently our project manager. Lastly, our COO Is John Gadd, who owns and operated Hotcards.com, a successful printing / tech company located in downtown Cleveland.

DAK Scientific
DAK Scientific, Inc. is a medical device development company with a focus on designing products related to the Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) market.
This medical device development company was founded by Deborah Kreatsoulas and Nicholas Kreatsoulas, DO in January 2017. Dr. Kreatsoulas worked as a Medical Director of Case Management in a community hospital where he managed patient flow throughout the hospital system. A problem continued to surface with admitted patients: What do you do with a IV drug user who has a PICC line? A typical PICC line patient can be discharged home to continue their therapy in an outpatient setting. However, the IV drug abuser or patient at risk for tampering with their PICC line ports cannot be and presents two problems: 1) they require constant monitoring which puts significant strain on hospital staff and 2) an unsecured PICC line port offers an easy opportunity to continue illicit drug use. The founders also discovered that there was a significant increase in infection rates, due to poor sterilization techniques by healthcare professionals at the PICC line injection ports.
The company’s goal is to provide a safe, secure, and successful experience for patients with PICC lines. PICC line insertions exceeded 2.9 million in 2015 and expect an annual growth rate of 8%. The total U.S. PICC line market was approximately $500 million in 2015.
In May 2017, DAK Scientific filed their first provisional patent defining the intellectual landscape of our product designs and is now entering a re-design phase, hoping to have a final product design with prototype modeling for product refinement in the next 6-9 months. The company is collaborating with Balance, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio for our medical design prototype and product platforms.

CORE
Core Nutrition Planning is a software-as-a-service business with a Nutrition Planning Application to help endurance athletes maximize performance in races and training.
Asker Jeukendrup, a Dutch athlete from a young age, was obsessed with finding new ways to improve performance. He became an exercise physiologist, built up an international reputation as a researcher at the University of Birmingham in the UK, a practitioner, and a recognized leader in the field of sports nutrition. In this role he used his access to research and evidence to help other athletes of all levels to reach their potential. His passion was and still is to translate scientific findings into practical solutions for athletes. In many years of working with athletes from weekend warriors to World and Olympic Champions, he witnessed many of them struggle with the vast amount of often confusing information that was available.
Bill Braun, based in Ohio, grew up a swimmer and after college began to participate in endurance sports running, cycling and triathlon; as his daughters grew up, they shared the same thrill of cycling, running and triathlon, and now train and race with their dad. As Bill targeted longer events, he recognized how critical proper fueling was; he also noticed that many other athletes struggled nutrition for their training and events. He found he had a desire to helping athletes get nutrition right. He knew it would be possible to do this through an app he was prototyping, but only if the app was built on the most solid evidence-based nutrition research. While delving into the endurance sports nutrition research to support proper nutrition planning, he came across Asker’s work over and over again. In the summer of 2015 he decided to contact him and discuss collaboration. After a few weeks and a couple of joint bike rides later, CORE was born; a software application that helps athletes make the right nutrition choices for their events.
The market for CORE is the rapidly growing, global endurance sports space that includes running (marathons, half marathons, ultra-marathons), triathlon (Olympic distance and longer), cycling (racing and distance touring) and many other sports. CORE addresses the athlete’s needs by providing nutrition plans for training and events. The nutrition plans are personalized for the athlete’s physiology, specific event/activity, preference of fuels, and more. Further, the software helps the athlete to keep improving by analyzing results and providing feedback.
CORE will be offered as a FreeMium product; free for some great introductory capability, and for a fee for important extended capability. CORE has been developed as a mobile-responsive web browser initially; this provides broad usability while keeping development lower. Our technology roadmap includes consideration of native IOS and Android applications as well as integration with other sports technology.
The company received a $25,000 Innovation Fund A award in February 2016.
