The Gathering of Angels, an angel investor network for high growth and scalable start-ups, meets again on Tuesday, Oct. 10 from 4:30-7 p.m. at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s Innovation Center, with four investable companies presenting to an in-person and Zoom audience of qualified investors who have registered at gatheringofangels.com. The Center is located in UTC’s Mapp Building at 410 East 8th St. in Chattanooga.
According to Tarby Bryant, founder and chairman of GOA, the presenters include:
• Orion Biotechnology Inc, an Ottawa, Canada-based company founded in 2017 that claims to be the only company with a validated platform for drug discovery with a novel drug modality dealing with rare diseases and previously undrugged GPCRs.
GPCRs are involved in many diseases, with some 34 percent of all Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs targeting 108 members of this family. Orion claims drug discovery speeds of only six months and has a scientific board led by a Novel Prize Laureate.
• Clear Health Pass is based in New York City, NY offering a novel at-home-sample collection of saliva and fecal-based health diagnostic testing for humans and pets. The company claims to bring affordable, convenient and reliable diagnostic testing without having to leave home or disrupting busy schedules. The company addresses issues of misdiagnosing, comfort, underlying conditions and time with detection of diseases, such as cardiac, neurological conditions and diabetes.
• Miqron Air of Austin, Tx. is a company committed to improving indoor air quality and helping people live and breathe better using a new filtration technology developed by the University of Houston to capture and instantly eliminate any virus or bacteria, along with other harmful air pollutants such as allergens and molds, in a single pass without heating the ambient air. The company claims the system is ideal for various settings including schools, healthcare facilities, office buildings, hotels, restaurants, mass transit, places of worship and residential homes.
• Blue Dot Global Technologies, based in Birmingham, Al., offers video conferencing with maximum security, dependability and reliability, the company says. Its platform is in Beta and will enter the highly competitive arena with Zoom, Google Meets and Microsoft Teams with a technology edge and seasoned management team with start-up experience. Blue Dot claims that its platform is hack proof with a dedicated server offering customers scalability, profitability and flexibility.
