About – Heart at Work Unlimited, LLC
When asked what inspired me to start Heart@Work, my answer is simple: my son, Drew. Drew has Down syndrome. Some think that defines him but anyone who knows Drew, knows better. He, and all individuals with disabilities, are so much more than their diagnoses. I founded Heart@Work to celebrate the enthusiasm Drew and others like him bring to every job they do, and to create a workplace that focuses on what they can do, not what they can’t. Adults with disabilities are the best kind of employees - capable, appreciative and enthusiastic! They are grateful for the educational and vocational training they have received and proud to give back to those communities that have supported them.
Heart@Work gourmet popcorn is the best on the planet, and every bag you buy helps us employ more adults with disabilities. It doesn’t get much better than that! Whether you are inspired by our mission and our awesome employees, or you just can’t get enough of our two thumbs up gourmet popcorn, please contact us to discuss offering Heart@Work popcorn in your retail location or for your next fundraiser, or giving it as the perfect corporate gift.

JORO Innovations [Protégé] Physical Therapy Products
Business website
www.thepronator.com
About – JORO Innovations:
Designed by a Sports Medicine Physical Therapist to be easy to use and to allow exercise progressions that were not previously possible. The Pronator has the unique ability to use any coated dumbbell or resistant band in your clinic. This opens the door to new exercises and nearly unlimited progressions. Just think of the possibilities when you can truly Challenge the Potential of Your Strength. The inspiration for The Pronator came while I was treating patients with Lateral Epicondylitis. I was continually frustrated with the lack of adequate equipment available to help patients regain their forearm strength. Hammers, resistance bands, ankle weights and dumbbells were not getting the job done. I wanted something that would allow my patients to build strength and keep improving towards their goals.
After many prototypes, The Pronator was developed by customizing a handle with a comfortable grip and attaching a strap to safely secure any dumbbell, resistance band or cable machine in a gym or clinic. This provides a way to challenge our patients without limitations and improve their outcomes. I wanted to provide therapists everywhere a safe way to challenge patients to reach their potential! This allows people to build enough arm strength to fully return to work or helps athletes rehab after injury and competitively get back on the field.

We have grown extremely fast by focusing on a niche industry in motor sports; radio controlled car racing. We experienced some pains by growing too fast at times and had a hard time keeping up with demand, but we have stabilized that. We are now expanding into many other forms of motor sports that are not so much of a niche market, so there is much more opportunity for growth. We would like to work with someone with experience to help manage growth and help guide us in our market evaluations. We are confident that we have a superior product, but we are going up against some well-established software systems in these other markets. Any mentoring and feedback we can get from established businessmen/women would be greatly beneficial to us as we take on companies five times our size.
