                • MyHuge — A workout supplement company.
                • BigFat — Weight management coaching company.
                • The Blackest — A company specializing in black inks and paints.
                • PlayWithMy — Goods exchange company focused on trading video games and toys.
                • Please Suck — Vacuum manufacturer.
