FixMeStick!
HIGH TECH: COMPUTER ANTI-VIRUS!
!
Montrealers Corey Velan and Marty Algire founded
FixMeStick in 2011. A Queen’s and Stanford
graduate, Velan was previously Director of
Development and Lead Architect at Radialpoint,
provider of consumer PC security to very large ISPs.
Algire, who completed his Master’s in Biosystems
Engineering at McGill, was a founding employee of
the pioneering Internet privacy company ZeroKnowledge and Vice-President of Products and
Engineering at Radialpoint.!
!
The FixMeStick was born out of the need to solve the malware removal problem
for regular computer users. Antivirus programs do their best to prevent viruses
from infecting computers, but infections remain a widespread problem. Viruses
that get past antivirus software can be impossible to find or remove because the
infections take control of the PC. The United States Computer Emergency
Readiness Team and the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre recommend
scanning an infected PC with a “trusted bootable USB” like the FixMeStick. In
partnership with 3 of the world’s leading antivirus companies (Kaspersky Lab,
Sophos, and GFI), FixMeStick brings this easy-to-use virus removal device that
won’t harm a user’s PC. The FixMeStick is not a replacement for antivirus
programs, which protect PCs from infections, it is for removing infections that got
past the antivirus. !
!
FixMeStick was featured on CBC's Dragons' Den on Jan 15, 2014, where the
duo received investment offers from all 5 dragons.!

Provender!
TECHNOLOGY, FARMING!
!
!
We made Provender because we believe in 3 ideas:!
! 1.! Who delivers to the back door of a restaurant determines who walks in the
front door. We’re part of a new era where clientele cares where their food
comes from.!
! 2.! We need a new way of going farm to fork, to keep more of the profits onfarm. Large and small farms alike can benefit from having a direct link to
the end consumer.!
! 3.! The better the communication is between chef and farmer, the better the
system operates. Waste and re-sale are the enemy of farmers growing
diverse crops. Diversity in the food system is key to a resilient future.!
!
Provender works everyday to make these three ideas reality. Farms everywhere
are welcoming a younger, newer generation of farmers, and Provender is
dedicated to empowering this entrepreneurial new generation of "greenhorns".!
Technology has a role to play in supporting farmers by linking supply and
demand. We’re working to build a supply chain that works for both chefs and
farmers.!
