Ancient Bakers

Eczema. Anemia. Food Allergies. Acute Malnutrition.

This was my son Bennuamen’s story. At the tender age of 15 months old his diagnosis and prognosis was grim. The Western Standard American Diet (SAD) had failed. With little hope, I consulted our ancestors for the wisdom needed to save my son.  Hence, The Ancient Bakers was born.

The Ancient Bakers is family-owned and operated in Boston, MA.
Since 2008 we have been educating consumers about the health benefits of plant-based bakery products.

Our mission is to let the world know that health and specialty baking are synonymous.

Happy Jack’s World

Happy Jack is more than just a pop-up, gallery or boutique—Happy Jack is a community, created by the late Jack Nathan as a safe haven for kids who struggle with mental illness, as he did. Painting and design helped ease Jack’s anxiety, and the new Happy Jack pop-up in the Seaport features some of his work. As Jack himself said, “this brand serves as a nod to everyone who feels trapped in their mind. And a reminder to do precisely what is important to you.”

Come and learn more about Happy Jack’s story and check out his line of apparel and accessories. A portion of each product’s sale is donated by Jack’s family to foundations that help keep Jack’s mission and legacy alive.

ProtoXYZ

ProtoXYZ’s goal is to speed up rapid prototyping. More and more advanced manufacturing technologies are being developed, and as they do, manufacturers are slow to automate the quotation process. This drastically slows the prototyping process. They aim to fix this by giving customers instant quotes with high customization for all services.
When people think of prototyping, what typically comes to mind is some sort of non-ideal material used to poorly demonstrate an idea. Rapid prototyping in the past was limited to a small set of materials that had a very limited range of properties. This is changing, now engineers can get prototypes with a huge array of properties more suitable to their project’s specific needs.
In addition to this, they have automated the whole process to keep costs low and make these new technologies accessible. Their instant quote engine does not “slice” the whole model to get quotes, unlike other so-called “instant” quote engines. Their algorithms can calculate material use and print time without slicing the model, that way you get quotes much faster at a realistic price. Quote times are typically less than 1 second, with maximum quote times of approximately 10 seconds.
