Jon Fox
Blockchain; Technology
Jon Fox is an entrepreneur and crypto investor who knows the trucking
industry’s flaws all too well—as a customer. He has shipped more than a
billion dollars in foodstuffs as owner of wholesale distributor Lewisco
Holdings. He has struggled with high broker fees, damaged freight, lost
shipments, late deliveries, obtuse pricing and a dearth of reliable data on
reputation-for-performance. Frustrated, he set up his own network of carriers
and clients for his food-shipping company, sidestepping brokers that can add
up to 20% to the costs of a trip. Then he started trading, profitably, in
cryptocurrencies, and his Eureka! moment struck: Blockchain and crypto, he
realized, could fix many of the inefficiencies that saddle shipping with billions of dollars in unnecessary
costs. He co-founded Fr8Network in pursuit of that vision. He runs Fr8 and Lewisco Holdings in the
Chelsea neighborhood of New York, out of offices in a charmingly gritty building where he also resides in
an apartment with his wife and two daughters.

Weatherman
Umbrella; Weather
Weatherman represents the convergence of

The result? The best umbrella ever created.
Weatherman was conceived by nationally recognized
meteorologist Rick Reichmuth. After years in the field covering severe weather events, Rick couldn’t find
an umbrella that met his standards. So he decided to design it himself. The result after three years of
research, sketching, testing and more testing is an umbrella that stands up to extreme weather. The
materials – from the hand-sewn panels to the fiberglass ribs – hold off 55-mph winds. Bluetooth
technology tracks your Weatherman so you don't lose it, and the Weatherman app makes sure you don’t
leave it behind.
