Higher Inc

Welcome to Higher Inc.

A University Tested and validated, Emotional Intelligence tool (EQ) that uses AI, neuroscience and human performance to provide the analytics that bring out the best in others and the people who work so hard on the job!

Finally a tool that does NOT discriminate or form a bias on someone who is lookin for a job!!

Our passion to increase the capitol of human lperformance, has formed a partnership with AI, blockchain, and neuroscience to equip companies with a "Predictive analytics" tool that validates the candidates they hire, diagnose the company's culture, and then validates who really is performing to the level their résumé claims.

How? By quantifying concrete data points on human potential, strengths, workplace performance, and leadership attributes, we provide the necessary data for easy onboarding and targeted hiring and training.

..and not just a hiring tool, but a culture temperature gauge, retention device, and the data that helps to optimize leadership development in seconds. All downloadable on the cloud in a customized user platform.

We are currently being used by corporations within the US and individuals from companies like: APPLE, LINKEDIN, FACEBOOK, NASA, TESLA, INTEL, Medical Facilities, and the like are all loving the tool!

We build the team to run a powerful TOOL! Now we are opening an investment round for the first time!

A best of breed team for a best of breed technology starts with Troy Foster, our COO, who leads up our engineering team of 5. He is the former CTO and SVP of Bosch with an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Then to our two professors that hail from the Kellogg Biz school @ Northwestern/MIT Media Lab and NYU. Both their achievements and careers speak for themselves.

Next, is Glen Howard, who financed over $1 billion in the venture capital debt-financing space, invested in several start-ups and is a VC in his own right. He invested and took us on day 1 (and has become a personal friend).

Finally, and fairly new to our team, is Chief Mike Alexander. His 43 years in public service speaks volumes, but even more so is his heart and passion to protect first responders from losing self-control on the job! A behavioral trait that our technology reads with a precision and university tested alpha coefficient. Because of his influence it has created a third target market in our business plan and quite frankly made it a priority! (First Responders, High Tech Fortune 500 Companies, and Pro Sports.) In helping first responders, we are assisting police precincts with the use of the our tool to gauge the "Emotional Temperature" of their officers. This addresses the massive national issue of police brutality. If we can help just one police officer avoid the misappropriation of force to save a life - then it's worth every penny we've spent! I believe we can help THOUSANDS, if not hundreds of THOUSANDS! The emotional pain for the deceased and the financial lawsuits this issue is costing cities are profoundly injust and can be avoided!

What we do, we do with exceptionalism. Here is our Value Proposition: Our model is very simple. We save companies millions of dollars on avoiding misplaced hires while assessing the emotional intelligence (EQ) of the people they have on staff. If you think logically for a minute: how many times have you gone to work for an organization and the wrong boss or person is in a position of leadership because he or she does not possess the leadership skills demanded by that role. Our psychometric analytics tool gives employers a real-time view into their employees/new hires and their cognitive behavioral traits that validate fit for job requirements while simultaneously 'validating' the internal capabilities they need to complete tasks their resume DOES NOT DISCLOSE without this kind of validation.

.....and this is a BIG PROBLEM!  One of the companies we helped saved approx. $2 million dollars in less than 6 months!! Each bad hire at the executive level is costing companies approx. $240K per year. Not to mention the cost of poor performance.

Tony H, The former CEO of Zappos is on video saying, "bad hires" cost him over $100M!

.....and we helped CEO's like him find a solution!

If you look closely at this chart, it just makes sense. We help companies see performance strengths and liabilities that are hidden below the water line of visibility....Things like Commitment and dedication traits.

We have 2 products to capture the behavioral strengths and liabilities of an individual:

1. Our EQ technology tool is called an Executive Validations or "EV:"  

This is the tool that measures and reveals the data or a "diagnostic" of an employee's EQ assets (emotional intelligence).  We ask them a series of questions within our , their face is scanned for anti-gaming, and our algorithm can very easily detect cognitive strengths and liabilities within 60 minutes. These are the behavioral traits that make them who they are- the engine, if you will, whereby they can perform the requirements of the job. Behavioral traits such as: Ambition, Endurance, Responsibility, Conscientiousness, Boldness, Self Confidance, and more! In other words, can the employee keep up with the demands they are responsible for.... can they be TRUSTED?!

2. The Cultural -Epigenetics (C) tool: 

How many times has a company hired an employee only to find out they did NOT MATCH the culture of company. Does the company know how their culture is wired?  Our proprietary tool takes a view into the EQ assets of the ones who make up the culture and applies our algorithm to display the EQ result comparisons of each leader that runs the departments. The above chart shows a comparison of 5 executives, revealing where they work well together, along with their own unique strengths as well as their liabilities. This is the cutting-edge solution for leadership training and development programs, which is an area that our sister company addresses with custom-tailored professional coaching and leadership training services. As one leadership expert stated: "Companies don't run companies, people do."  When you have a tool that measures people, the companies can be managed better and run with precision. Steve Jobs stated, "This was the key to building the Mac..." ( In an interview, Steve eluded to the daunting task of getting A-listers in the same room. "When you take the time to get these A-listers together... I notice something very powerful happens- They actually like working together... and this was the key to building the Mac.")

This type of data is a massive benefit to companies that reveal the data on:

• why teams work well together and where there could be a disconnect;
• where leadership developmental changes can be made; and
• where the right intelligence into  new candidates can reveal the strengths and liabilities of these new hires that are coming on board.

We easily embed the data of the new hires into our Cultural-Epigentics tool and it automatically determines if they are a match to the team and the company culture. 

And here you have it!! An easy-to-read, predictive analytics tool on a professional SaaS platform, integrated into their existing workflows, that both, HR departments and executive leaders can use to assess their teams, enhance leadership development and make sure their performance reports are in alignment with their job descriptions. This is already saving companies BIG MONEY!

This previous year the cognitive assessment space grew to $12B as a part of the total $100B HR assessment market. The MARKET IS BIG and growing. However, the average HR software is over 9 years old!

People from a plethora of market segments in various industries are using the tool NOW and loving it!! Here is one CEO's testimony that used the tool for all his new hires:

"This company ended up saving us, what could have been a $100 million, even a billion dollar mistake." -Nick C. SVP

...and employee that are working for these big companies are loving our tool!

...and we must make sure they don't game our system, or get away with lying on that resume. Pre-COVID, the tech industry had issues like Scott Thompson (see the highlight in the above chart)....do remember the former CEO of Yahoo who lied on his resume? Well Yahoo hired him!! Now, post-COVID, we are dealing with a plethora of new issues our technology solves.

HOW? No proper validation tool...

Everywhere you see the glowing shield is where our technology can be used in the hiring process. 90% of all companies DO NOT HAVE a step 7! They just try to guess if the candidate has what only we can authenticate and validate via a PROVEN system. Oh, and did I mention bias? Should a person be hired because of the color of their skin or their gender? The answer is a firm NO! A person is hired because of the skills they have on the inside (cognitive and emotional) not on the outside. It just makes sense to #GoHigher!!

Now the 1 min video makes sense:
