Teams suffer from a loss of revenue due to a lack of fan engagement at their sporting events. Venues have limited ad space and their traditional routes have become less effective.

We provide ad space proven to be more effective with metrics that are currently unattainable for in-stadium sponsors and teams.
Strand was started by biological engineers working together at MIT. Building on the idea of creating smart therapeutics that are capable of making autonomous decisions, they sought to apply the world's first synthetic biology platform for mRNA therapeutics. This area was untapped by traditional synthetic biology, which led them to build their own mRNA “programming language,” creating the world’s first platform for mRNA smart immunotherapies.

Booking live music is a long and confusing process. Musicians are frequently double-booked, bookers are unorganized, and venue owners want to know how much they’re spending on live music and if it’s worth it. Canary streamlines that process.

We are raising $200k to expand to over 400 venues and reach $10k in MRR via our $39/month business model.
