Overview

Vumo (Car Scanner) uses a robotized computer vision system enabled by machine learning to automate car inspection and documentation.

Solution

The residency program helped VUMO deliver a range of outputs that would improve the overall effect and optimize the user validation, product requirements, and plans for their Gen 2 product. The program aimed to enhance the process of detecting and documenting automotive damage, making it more efficient and accurate for car manufacturers and consumers. These outputs included customer experience journey map updates, product requirements documents, certification plans, and a comprehensive production roadmap.

“You are the only investors who perfectly know the right questions to ask. For example, where are the huge potential risks for delivery fulfillment.” – Slawek Potasz, CEO & Founder of Vumo(Car Scanner).

Overview

Scalable systems (formally known as WasteWizer) produce internet-connected scales that monitor trash containers’ weight so they can be picked up at the optimal time.

Solution

The Residency program helped WasteWizer adapt the design for larger production runs, plan assembly fixtures, and create design suggestions to ease tool shops. The program aimed to improve the product’s efficiency and overall functionality, making it more suitable for larger production runs and ensuring that it met industry standards for durability and performance. Testing procedures were completed and delivered to WasteWizer, including a calibration press plan and destructive durability tests that met IPXX.

Overview

Pluie is the world’s first and only self-sanitizing baby changing table. It uses patented UV-C light technology, which kills 99.9% of germs.

Solution

During phase 1, Dipalo Venture conducted an engineering review (mechanical, electrical), BOM, and business audit. In phase 2, MP Consulting took over and worked on product design for seven months to complete the first 100 production units of UVC and non-UVC cleansed changing stations. They also reduced the cleansing time from 10 minutes to just 1 minute, controlled the cost of goods sold (COGS), and effectively managed the supply chain.

In March 2023, Pluie was featured in Shank Tank (Season 14, Episode 16). You can view the full episode on  ABC.com, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video.

“I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Working with DipaloVentures helped me formulate a better plan. It showed gaps in our engineering design, supply chain, and overall time to market that we needed to solve ASAP.”  – Adia Gundry, CEO of Pluie.
