Co-founders Daniel Cruz (healthcare actuary) and Bob Hogan (healthcare lawyer) are leveraging their unique professional backgrounds to offer Americans real health insurance (not sharing) that is 100% pro-life, connects members to pro-life providers, and is 25% more affordable than traditional health insurance.

The Farmland Stock Exchange is an investment platform providing average investors access to a new asset class. The Farmland Stock Exchange connects farmers and investors, enabling farmers to purchase farms with a lower down payment, and less debt, while offering investors S&P 500 level returns with bond-level volatility. With dozens of farmers signed up and a loan partner ready to underwrite up to $1 billion annually, the Farmland Stock Exchange will have its first offering live in October.
Elie and Viviana de Laforcade
Co-Founders
Faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ (Romans 10:17). That's why THSVox created HeWo: a 100% Christian connected audio player. This player is a joyful and intelligent companion, offering content that grows with the child from 3 to 12 and can be personalized to match their faith formation stage and preferences (music, biblical stories, teachings, prayers, lives of saints, Christian audiobooks). HeWo is designed to open children's ears and hearts to the Word of God.
Daina Andries and Mark Stephenson
Co-Founders
Epidaurus Health provides an integrated solution to prior authorization. Their software, Amphitheater, is a secure software-as-a-service for clinical case management and review, designed to leverage federated learning to support faster health data exchange and improve clinical engagement between physician practices and payers. The mission of Epidaurus is not simply to lower the cost of the prior authorization, but also to support fairer, timely and truly evidence-based clinical evaluations.
Daniel Catone & Andrew DeBerry
Arimathea leverages technology to provide professional asset management for Catholics who wish to invest with virtue. The Arimathea approach to investment screening is rooted in Christian beliefs and values. They believe that incorporating thoughtful guidelines that promote Catholic moral theology is paramount to being able to provide Catholic investors with faith-driven portfolios.
