Indelbl Inc. is a Web3 marketplace leveraging blockchain technology to securely license creatives' intellectual property. Creative professionals currently do not have an easy interface with potential buyers of their works that authenticates & tracks provenance, guarantees timely payment, provides clear disclosure regarding intellectual property protection, and also offers the opportunity to easily and securely license the IP related to that creative work. I am developing this service for both creative professionals and those and companies that want a simple and reliable way to license the creative work for commercial purposes.

We developed a physical card that embeds a web3 wallet to store digital assets. The physical card contains an NFC chip that stores and transmits the credentials of the card holder. In addition, the card contains a QR code that displays the digital assets owned in the web3 wallet. Among other uses, these cards can: verify the completion of corporate training programs, store unique digital representations that embed the time and location of when a visitor was physically present at an event, and identify membership in a collective membership for an athletics program.

These rocket engines would run on enhanced power cycle designed by me. Now, the idea is to make specialized engines as per costumer's launch vehicle needs and not produce standardized engines. The rocket engine parts would be 3D printed and shipped from India (cheap material, labor and other resources). The rotary engine production and rocket engine assembly would be done in the United States. This way we can sell comparatively cheaper engines in the market and the innovative power cycle design results in less propellant consumption than current technology.

Our telescopic bike carrier is a hitch mounted vehicle accessory that accommodates 1-4 bikes, carries 200lbs of gear, includes an integrated bench, and doesn’t block the lift gate. As a result, there’s no need to remove it. It does all this by utilizing an engineered telescopic support structure mounted to a pivot.

Word of Mouth is a marketplace for cases that Plaintiff attorneys can utilize to grow their practice, refer cases out for passive income, or to seek help from co-counsel. The business aims to address the obstacles faced by plaintiff attorneys in finding cases for their practice. Currently, the process of connecting with other attorneys is all done through word of mouth and close-knit networks. The lack of a marketplace where attorneys can go find new cases and meet new attorneys generates a barrier to gaining new cases and new sources of revenue.
