GIFT GUIDE

Dear Friends 

While we are known for the patent portfolios that we built 

for Twilio (software tools), Cruise (autonomous vehicles), 

and Acuri (diagnostics and sample analytics), 

we also represent incredible startups in connected devices, 

digital and wearable health, and frontier technologies. 

This inaugural gift guide — which stretches across these areas 

— represents a selection of our clients that have crossed the 

chasm, have sold product, and have begun to make a dent in 

the universe. 

We are incredibly inspired by them, and we think you will be 

too. You might even want to get some of them for the Holidays. 

Warmest Regards, 

Jeffrey Schox

Molekule air purifier 

Finally, an air purifier that actually works. Molekule doesn’t 

collect pollutants. It destroys them. 

Molekule is the only air purifier that destroys pollutants. Existing

disperse them back into the air you breathe. 

Molekule creates a catalytic reaction when the nano particle– 

coated filter is activated by light, which completely eliminates 

allergens, mold, bacteria, viruses and VOCs. And once they’re 

gone they aren’t coming back.

Norlan whiskey glass 

Designed to capture whisky’s complex flavors and aromatics 

and deliver them to the senses like never before. 

Through specially developed inner protrusions, when swirled 

around the glass the whisky forms a standing wave shape, which 

increases the surface to air ratio and rate of oxidation. This increase 

in volatility means considerably more ethanol evaporates, allowing 

the whisky to become significantly more expressive. 

Inspired by nature, digitally crafted, and meticulously refined. 

Combine this scientifically performing inside with an aesthetically 

beautiful outside and you have the perfect whisky experience.
