With the investments, Bicameral can support independently strong solution providers who are solving very different pain points, but doing so in a highly complementary manner.
- Nodesmith – a tooling and middleware company aimed at providing enterprise-grade uptime and reliability to developers building higher up the stack.
- metaMe – a data transmission protocol providing self-sovereignty and liquidity to data trapped within popular Web 2.0 platforms.
- Velocia – an open mobility rewards platform that is currently working with Miami-Dade County to change commuter behavior and solve traffic flow issues.

It will be an objectively superior experience that drives real adoption and that can only happen with a deep interconnected technology stack providing the building blocks. metaMe, Nodesmith, and Velocia are all high-quality projects and we’ve already seen the benefits of their addition to our existing portfolio projects and vice-versa.”[/perfectpullquote]
