Traditionally, wood waste at construction sites and manufacturing facilities has been sent to landfills. This means that a tremendous amount of waste is created — landfills are, by volume, made up of 40% wood. Now, though, AI technology like WoodChuck.ai can help those who operate work sites and warehouses divert wood waste by automating the sorting process and offering advanced sustainability reporting. Writing for Fast Company, Todd Thomas, CEO and Founder of High Alpha Innovation portfolio company Chuck, explains how the AI platform (and other emerging tools like it) can aid these industries and others in their efforts to go green while also boosting their operational efficiency. https://lnkd.in/grjuafJp #ArtificialIntelligence #Sustainability #Startups

Excited about what John P. Sheehan is building at vflok! It’s been fanatastic to partner with the Catalyst by Wellstar crew who are showing what it means to innovate in a health system.
Nurses make a profound difference in the lives of patients and their families, day and night. But the way their shifts are scheduled has not evolved with technology, leading to burnout and shortages. Developed from extensive research on the issue with nurses and nurse managers, vflok, places connected communities of nurses at the center of the scheduling process. It's also the first company started by Catalyst in partnership with leading venture builder High Alpha Innovation, and we're proud to highlight it at this year's HLTH Inc. Conference. Watch vflok founder John P. Sheehan, as he describes how we aim to solve this problem by embedding advanced machine learning models and generative AI into the scheduling workflow. This will empower nurses to shape their schedules together, arrange in-system coverage when unexpected events happen, and eliminate the opaque nature of schedule development. Visit vflok and Catalyst by Wellstar at Booth #4054, across from the Nurse Innovation Pavilion and Digital Health Hub, to learn more about how Catalyst is driving healthcare innovation through our investments and partnerships. We’d love to connect! #Nursing #AI #HLTH #WorkLifeBalance

Market sizing is less about being right and more about gaining an understanding of the opportunity that exists for a potential new company. In other words, it's about determining if there's a need and appetite for a given solution. Even when market-sizing estimates are off, they can still help those building startups surface key assumptions around areas like customer segmentation, the business model, and pricing that can help them refine their idea. High Alpha Innovation Build Associate Julia Tofan explains the power of market sizing over on the HAI blog: https://lnkd.in/g9rHhuxk #VentureBuilding #Startups #MarketSizing

Corporations have been built to be reliable and stable. Startups, on the other hand, are built with experimentation in mind. To remain competitive, big companies need to take a page from the startup playbook — but not in the way you might think. High Alpha Innovation CEO Elliott Parker explains that corporations should focus on creating external startups that can go fast, learn, adjust, and pivot, then take those learnings back to the core business once they've been validated. Read more on why large enterprises need to experiment to survive in this Global Corporate Venturing article: https://lnkd.in/dHM_6_eY #VentureBuilding #CorporateInnovation #Startups

Self-belief is the first ingredient needed to build a world-changing company, according to Founders Podcast host David Senra, who deemed it more important than even a proven track record or strong business idea. David joined us at #Alloy2024 to relay lessons he’s learned from renowned founders who have built transformative companies over the years, including Walmart's Sam Walton, from whose autobiography he shared insights. #VentureBuilding #Entrepreneurship
