DP is changing
how students take
tests and do
assignments in
online
education. Online
education,
especially at the
community
college level, is
growing rapidly,
but there's a
crucial
weakness: there's
no verification
that the person
who's registered
and receiving
credit for a course
is the same person
who's actually
completing the
assignments. DP
has the
solution: we
measure the way a
student types on
their keyboard. It
turns out that the
way you type is as
unique to you as
your handwriting
or
fingerprints. We
use your unique
typing signature
to verify that each
assignment you
submit was
actually created by

We have the
president, the
dean, and several
professors at
Midland College
lined up to use
our software as
soon as our three
software
engineers and
Andrew can build
it. We will deliver
them a beta for
the fall
semester. We
have submitted a
provisional
patent. Also,
Congress passed a
law in 2008
mandating online
colleges take steps
to verify the
authenticity of
students'
work. When the
law takes effect in
2011, schools will
have to use a
solution like ours.

Minimus
Spine
Minimus Spine
develops
ozone
technology to
treat disc
herniations.
The company
is founded on
an existing
body of
literature
which
demonstrates
that ozone can
reduce the size
of the
herniation and
give patients
lasting relief
without
multiple spinal
injections or
surgery.

clinical trial to
be the first to
receive FDA
regulatory
approval of a
new product.
The analysis
would involve
market size,
competitors,
exclusivity
provided by
the regulatory
approval and
patents.
What the
company
would be
most
interested in
would be a
model that
compared the
relative value
of patents
and
regulatory
approval.
