Paradigm designs and manufactures diesel emissions controls which decarbonize diesel emissions. Customers save money on engine maintenance and diesel fuel and reduce CO2 emissions. Estimated CO2 reduction is 200 million tons annually.
Diesel engines are efficient, reliable sources of power with 40 million in use worldwide. But diesel engines produce dirty emissions which causes green-house gases and human disease. Government mandates require emissions control devices to mitigate the negative effects of diesel emissions. The global market for these devices is $208 Billion annually. In addition, particulate matter (PM) in diesel emissions clogs up expensive engine components and sensors, causing engine maintenance problems, wasted diesel fuel and engine downtime.
The PARADIGM Plasma System is a novel patented device which decarbonizes diesel engine emissions. Up to 98% of PM soot is removed from emissions during customer trials. This saves money on maintenance and fuel, reduces CO2, improves engine uptime and provides a 1.5-year customer payback.
Paradigm sells retrofit devices to vehicle fleets with four fleets currently purchasing these devices. We also work with OEM companies to engineer our technology into their products and two development projects are in process.
Paradigm has a world class management team with 170+ years of experience, supported by a strong advisory board.
Paradigm's current seed round is raising $1M with approximately $500K raised to date. Visit https://paradigmofny.com for more information about the company.
Prolivio - Benjamin Zombek, Founder/CEO
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 15% of the world's population suffers from migraines. These migraines cause individuals' pain, discomfort, and disability; missing work, family, and memorable events. This affects lives personally and financially, amounting to $31B in economic loss and over $5B spent on migraine treatments annually. Current migraine medication can help treat the symptoms of chronic migraines, but migraine sufferers continue to resort to cooling therapy (ice packs) as an additive method to solve their discomfort. That's where KHIO by Prolivio comes in!
KHIO is a hyper cooling wearable headband for individuals suffering from migraines that are looking for on-the-go cooling therapy and to gain a better understanding of their condition. The app-connected KHIO headband system is comfortable, fashionable, and effective in delivering cooling therapy to targeted areas of the forehead. The rechargeable headband uses a patent-pending cooling design to provide adjustable, personalized cooling for over an hour per session while being portable enough to put in a purse or coat pocket. The KHIO mobile app allows the wearer to control their desired level of cooling, log migraine attacks, track potential triggers and help tailor their lifestyle to prevent future headaches.
As a proud member of NextCorps and the Western NY start-up community, KHIO is looking to bring new jobs and manufacturing to the area. The company is seeking funding for production tooling, inventory, testing, and continued software development in preparation for Q4 2022 launch. KHIO - Powerful. Cooling. Comfort.
