If you’re a fan of Iron Man movies, you will know that it features many new and improved protective suits. The most recent of these, introduced in Iron Man 3, is called Mark 42.
On July 15, a former Hollywood writer and current venture capitalist, Alex Finkelstein, announced that he is among the proud owners of a stake in Mark43, a start-up that plans to deliver law enforcement around the world with even better protection than Mark 42.
Mark43 ties together in one place the functions of at least five antiquated police applications such as a mobile app that police can use to get street-level information and a desktop tool that can analyze reams of data. Mark43 cuts the time it takes to do these police tasks “from five to six hours to 30 to 45 minutes,” according to CEO Scott Crouch in a July 10 interview.
Founded by three members of Harvard College’s class of 2013 Crouch, Flo Mayr and Matt Polega Mark43 was the result of a Harvard Engineering 96 class project and was based at Harvard’s Innovation Lab during their senior year.
