16. Sipply

- Founders: Caty Tedman and Verity King
- One liner: Sipply AI-based recommendation engine to match drink pairings to food.
- Problem background: 95% of North America has access to alcohol delivery, but only 10% are ordering drinks through food delivery services. It's too time-consuming, too confusing, and people just don't know what to pick. That's where sipply comes in with expert recommendations that consumers can trust for beverages available locally. The real-time data generated from user searches and clicks is then valuable to beverage suppliers and distributors who are usually making decisions with data compiled once a year. It’s designed as a standalone consumer app, a plug-in to platforms like DoorDash or Uber Eats, and generates real-time analytics about eating and drinking trends.

It provides a central platform for artists to aggregate their careers and connect with their communities.
- Category: SaaS, Music

18. Monark

- Founders: Kelsey Hahn and Amanda Julian
- One liner: an interactive, data-driven development and performance optimization platform
- Background: there is a glaring problem in organizations: most leaders begin managing people at the average age of 30 but often won’t receive any leadership training until 42, meaning we have a 12-year training gap that traditional, high-touch leadership development (e.g. coaches) can’t solve. Designed to fit into busy leaders’ lives, our software is the first of its kind to embrace a blended approach of live, expert-facilitated learning with an intuitive and intelligent learning platform, making it both accessible and scalable for the masses. Monark provides a personalized experience that supports the transfer of learning through behavioural nudging, evidence-based micro-learning, interactive activities, and AI-based practice, role play, and assessment.
