The internet has granted us the power to share aspirational, heart-centered stories in nearly every corner of the globe - instantaneously.

That’s why we partner with heroic entrepreneurs who are driven mad by a purpose to catalyze planet-wide change. By scientifically and methodically disseminating messages in a sustainable (profitable) way, we support organizations tackling problems of the highest stakes — problems that threaten the health of our ecosystems and the survival of our species.

BOBA VIDA

Problem:

There’s currently no domestic source of popping boba, and consumer & distributor demand for it is rising dramatically (especially in the US).
Foreign-sourced popping boba is low quality, made with artificial flavors, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, little imagination or flavor, and in poor working conditions.

Our Solution:

We’re creating the first and only commercial popping boba production facility in the Americas, and we’re using clean, high quality, responsibly & locally sourced ingredients (no artificial flavors or preservatives!), proprietary formulations, and imaginative applications to not just be the domestic source and brand for popping boba, but also redefine what it can be - which is so much more than a fun feature of bubble tea or ice cream topping. (Think: a new form factor - a “flavor delivery platform” for any type of liquid and fortification - that can improve the enjoyability of food, drink, supplements and more...)

What makes us confident that we can execute:

Our founding team is made up of accomplished veteran entrepreneurs, 2 of whom recently built one of the most award-winning edibles brands in the industry’s short legalized history ($30M annual wholesale sales & valued at $50M at IPO), and one of whom is a 25+ year food industry veteran and critically acclaimed chef.

ENERGY / cleantech

DRIZZLEX

A MassChallenge Israel 2019 Winner, DrizzleX is a pioneering smart water metering solution that enables significant water conservation in residential buildings that lack individual apartment meters. While water is a scarce, precious, and depleting resource, it is still free for tenants and overused by 30% in tens of millions of US apartments in multifamily apartment buildings where there is no transparency about individual tenant water consumption. This water misuse negatively impacts properties' bottom line, while costly leaks go undetected, causing additional damages. DrizzleX’s solution generates data-driven transparency about water usage by combining the proprietary, cost-effective, maintenance-free, and quick to install FlowDX™ smart water sensors, with a robust SaaS dashboard displaying data, comparative trends, alerts, and AI-powered insights. By measuring individual units’ water consumption in multi-family properties, detecting water misuse and leaks in real-time, and leveraging data to educate and empower both tenants and property managers to conserve water, DrizzleX reduces water use, significantly slashes bills and property expenses, and positively impacts the environment. Founded in 2017, DrizzleX is based in Israel with installations across California, Nevada, Arizona, and New York.

oUR sister NETWORK

THE AUTHENTICATED

We are in the business of illuminating and connecting the leaders in today’s global culture. From media and entertainment, sports to health and wellness, from blockchain and social impact to venture capital and from London to Brooklyn to Los Angeles we are the people making things happen in business and the creative economy every day. The Authenticated network are the Founders, Funders and Bosses driving the creative economy and investing in culture. We dream big, play hard and love to connected and be connected.

This community exists because we found the current gatherings, clubs, houses, associations to be less and less interesting, diverse, and digital. We built The Authenticated 3 years ago to be the social network for those who are looking for true community, authentic stories and content and inspiring events around the world. The network is a "mixed bag of hustle" from Famous Rappers to European Royalty, unashamedly black, brown, female, immigrant and all the “other” often not represented in mainstream culture. We meet for dinners, convene at conferences and dance in private rooms around the world.

Our founder, James Andrews is a well sought after global business and brand consultant, public speaker, investor, content creator and soon to be author. Clearly he’s also a multi-hyphenate which sounds like most of us these days. In all of his experiences and connections comes a deep desire to live in the unexpected and tell the stories of the untold. So if Soho House, Davos, Monocle and Fast Company put on a pair of Adidas Shell Toes that would be The Authenticated. So much history, so much knowledge, so much wisdom, all for you to be immersed in and inspired by. The Authenticated are coming from startups in Palo Alto, family offices in New York, entertainment companies in Hollywood, government buildings in Dubai and social impact companies in Tel Aviv. Welcome to your new playground and marketplace for connections, knowledge and opportunities.
