Think about how many chances your team gets to feel like they won something. Quarterly = 4 wins/year Monthly = 12 wins/year That gap is clarity. Focus. Alignment. Customer responsiveness. Big companies are winning by working like startups. #GoToMarket #Leadership #Innovation

VR is the ultimate medium. Paul Raphael's insight: give audiences agency to explore. Spectator becomes collaborator. That's the difference. #VR #Innovation #Storytelling

Amy Hedrick: plan your path, but stay flexible. Opportunities appear sideways. Founders who see them and follow them win. @CleanboxTech exists because she was willing to take risks. #Entrepreneurship #FounderJourney #Leadership #CleanboxTechnology

CEO's outsource yourself to be more available to the big issues Tech changes, use it to your advantage. Amy Hedrick made a @CleanboxTech AI chatbot with her wisdom to be always on. Leaders who adapt strategically win. #AI #Leadership #Innovation #CleanboxTechnology

Founders rarely admit how hard it is. Amy Hedrick hit a wall building Cleanbox . A mentor reminded her: "Do you realize how much you've changed the industry?" That reflection refocused everything. External perspective saves founders. #Entrepreneurship #Mentorship

Coming soon. The Spatial Creator Spotlight - Interviews with the 3D artists, designers, and creators that are defining the possibilities of XR art and communication. Video made with Gemini tools - Nano Banana source image animated with Veo

Nothing sells itself. Amy Hedrick: messaging matters. You're not selling hardware—you're solving the adoption barrier for VR at scale. @Cleanboxtech enables immersive experiences in venues, schools, hospitals. Story beats specs. #CleanboxTechnology #Messaging #SpatialComputing

Can solving the "ick" factor in VR uplift the whole spatial computing industry? New on The Tech Glow Up, Amy Hedrick, CEO of Cleanbox Technology shares she isn't selling a cleaning box. She is solving the hygiene problem that unlocks VR at scale. Listen where you get podcasts.

"Hat rack" might sound odd, but it's a great compliment if you think about it.It means someone trusts you with real problems and makes their life easier. A GTM leader said it after we helped his team move like a startup—fast, testing, learning, scaling.

Rather than deploying generic large language models, emtelligent developed proprietary models optimized for clinical data extraction. This differentiation addresses scaling, cost, and accuracy challenges that LLM-based approaches struggle with when processing billions of clinical documents.

Most healthcare AI companies grabbed the LLM toolkit. Tim O'Connell at emtelligent built something different. They created custom language models specifically for clinical data extraction from billions of documents. Why? LLMs have cost, scaling, and accuracy problems with massive datasets.

95% of families with a child in cancer treatment report severe financial impact and up to 15% fall into poverty. First Ascent Biomedical’s functional precision medicine makes cancer testing a mail-in task relieving travel and financial toxicity.

Why put up with 2.3-star service at the ER? @Vital_io CEO @apatzer dreams of a glow up: clear language, real care, and hospitals that treat you better than a fast food drive-thru. #PatientExperience #HealthTech #Communication #Founders #GlowUp #HospitalRatings #AI #hlth2025

Behavioral science ➕ design thinking = the real healthtech “glow up.” Pleio builds for humans, not just screens. That’s how you keep empathy at scale. #DesignThinking #HealthTech #AI #PersonalizedCare #BehavioralScience #DigitalHealth #CareTransformation

New on The Tech Glow Up from #hlth2025 40% of doctors use it. Daily. 🩺🤖 @OpenEvidence = ChatGPT for clinicians, built by Harvard AI researchers who got tired of generic search 40M papers + 20K new studies/day = knowledge overload solved! @openevidence.bsky.social

Dr. John Showalter prevented dementia in his mom by tracking brain health early. That's a Glow Up! That's how you scale impact. #BrainHealth #HealthTech #AI #Founders #ProductLeaders #Entrepreneurs #CognitiveHealth #WorkforceInnovation #DigitalHealth

XR Women secured their 501(c)(3) status and stands at a pivotal moment. Five years of grassroots community building created a strong foundation: global members, weekly productions, & proven impact. Now they shift to sustainability—building foundations of support & operations.
