Access to food and nutrition
The leading factor contributing to obesity is diet. For many Americans struggling to get by spending premiums on healthy foods is challenging, with fast food being the affordable reality for most.
Food freshness
Every day, millions of food items are discarded due to safety regulations requiring stores to discard expired items, but many health experts say they are still safe to eat.
Increasing daily fitness
Top aging experts say exercise is the key to health and longevity, yet many Americans are more sedentary than active. Gyms work for some, but not all. How can fitness be more fun, engaging and inclusive?
Obesity
Is it possible to plan and track what we eat? Some experts claim it can be a useful way to create healthy habits and routines.
Senior exercise
Aging adults who stay active later in life have a significantly improved quality of life. Unfortunately, many seniors are isolated, with limited transportation access and shrinking social communities.
Vaping
Vaping has exploded in the US among children and is now considered a “lifestyle” product. Strict regulation is quickly banning advertisements and flavors targeting children, questioning if vaping has a future.

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.
