The Snow League (TSL), created by Olympic snowboarding icon Shaun White in 2024, is building an international, year-round circuit that unites a currently fragmented freestyle winter-sports calendar. The league fields 36 elite male and female athletes and offers a record-setting US$1.6 million prize pool to let competitors earn meaningful income from events rather than relying solely on sponsorships. TSL’s inaugural season launched with an event in Aspen, Colorado, and will continue next month at Yunding Secret Garden Resort in China before concluding in Laax, Switzerland in March 2026. By positioning itself as a global media and competition platform, the company aims to grow a fan base across multiple countries and create new commercial opportunities in winter sports. Backers view the league as a potential ‘media engine’ capable of driving fresh content and sponsorship value. With two US$15 million raises completed in 2024, TSL is now capitalized to accelerate product development, expand its event footprint, and deepen engagement with athletes, fans, and partners. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the article.

PredictAP has been recognized as one of Business Insider’s 2024 “Hottest Proptech Startups” and won the 2024 Ardent Partners AP Honor Award for “Innovative Solution of the Year.” With a team of just over 20 employees, the firm plans to accelerate product enhancements, broaden integrations, and scale go-to-market efforts using fresh capital.

Ozlo sells Sleepbuds, a compact pair of sleep-focused earbuds that support streaming and reuse licensed IP and design expertise from former Bose sleep-product engineers. The buds sit flush with the ear, use soft compliant tips with small wing tips for retention, and come in a puck-shaped charging case. Ozlo priced the Sleepbuds at $299 and began shipping units to early backers while making them broadly available for purchase. The company says it will use new capital to develop a second-generation Sleepbuds product and to pursue FDA clearance for a tinnitus therapy. Ozlo’s positioning ties the hardware to a broader health play within wearables rather than being a pure hardware-only maker. The team and product lineage trace back to former Bose executives and licensed Bose IP, which helped accelerate the product’s development and market entry. Ozlo Sleep is a Boston, MA-based science-driven sleep and audio technology company focused on clinically enhancing rest without pharmaceutical intervention. It was co-founded by three ex-Bose employees, including CEO N.B. Patil, COO Brian Mulcahey, and CPO Charles Taylor. The company's core product is Ozlo Sleepbuds, a headphone designed specifically for sleep that leverages acquired and licensed proprietary sleep-related technology from Bose Corporation. Ozlo emerged from stealth after completing a $10M Series A and plans to launch the Sleepbuds later this summer. The funding round was led by LifeArc Ventures and ARTIS Ventures, and board seats were added for Dr. Imran Hamid and Vasudev Bailey. Ozlo's stated mission is to improve wakefulness and the quality of mental and physical well-being by enhancing rest through audio and sleep science.
