PROJECTS
City Planning & Government Projects.
Border security
Facilitating humane border conditions requires a radical paradigm shift, as resources are limited and families are sent into chaos with poor transient housing options and communication.
Dog poop identification
About 20% of US households have a dog. Not everyone is a respectful owner and many neglect to pickup after their pets. Israel is sequencing dog stool to issue citations to owners. Have they gone too far?
Prison reform
Prison populations are overflowing, where some states like California are now paying more to fund prisons than they are schools. Is there a better system for institutional correction and society re-integration?
Road and highway maintenance
There is over 6,000 miles of new road paved in the US each year. Maintenance and re-paving efforts are struggling to keep up calling for solutions to a growing infrastructure crisis.
Traffic management
Are autonomous vehicles the only solution to managing traffic and reducing automobile collisions or is there a more practical alternative that could be implemented quicker?
Trash management
Waste will only get worse as the population and urban cities continue to grow, calling for radical innovations in how we think about waste, trash, product life-cycles and re-usability.

The Minteer BROTHERS
Our Story
Founders, Nick and Chris Minteer have trained at some of the top Universities in the world and started one of the fastest growing companies in the United States, generating over $10M with no investors, all while they were still in school. They took an idea that started in their parents garage to a global powerhouse. The Minteer Academy is based on the principals the Minteer brothers learned working together and with their team. Nick, the business mind, trained at University College London, and Chris, the product mind, a PhD Scientist, trained at University of Cambridge and Yale University. The Academy takes the same perspectives which made Nick and Chris so effective as co-founders and applies it in a real-world course, where ambitious teens have the opportunity to take on big problems through either an entrepreneurial or research lens.
