BeeDance
 BeeDance, founded by Michael Dungan , is an online experience that identifies, diverts and connects products and materials that are misclassified as waste to audiences who value these items. The design and functionality of the BeeDance model of beneficial reuse is inspired by the behaviors and characteristics of nature’s most efficient organism, the honeybee. BeeDance uses current and emerging affinity marketing, mapping, and social media technologies to encourage new material flow connections in the economy that will lead to a redesign of the waste stream.
CitizenGroove
 CitizenGroove (CG) is the first internet-based professional media network that accurately represents how content is created and distributed in the real world. Citizen Groove will provide a new platform for performing and recording artists to share music and attract listeners, providing a proof of concept for this platform.
CG has a patent-pending digital media organization system that will be at the core of the platform and allow us serve three primary functions that currently do not exist: 1) enhance artist-networking and showcasing capabilities, 2) aggregate and supply critical marketing data to media industry professionals, and 3) create a fun and easy-to-use media discovery engine for users.
The first site, CG Music, will shrink the scattered internet music market by encompassing a wide range of features normally requiring multiple websites or applications. Beta test will begin using music schools and conservatories, which have an abundance of professional performing musicians currently dissatisfied with existing product such as myspace. This generation of musicians demand a higher performance network to showcase and catalog their craft.
