👍 Human Operator Moves the Hand

MIT's wearable Human Operator looks like dragon scales along the forearm. AI vision tracks the task and sends precisely timed electrical signals to the hand muscles, making the fingers move without the user deciding to move them.

For someone 1.5 years after a stroke, whose recovery has stalled, repetition is the point. The device could provide more training hours in a week than a clinic can provide in a month.

It does not download a skill. It guides movement rather than transferring ability, and it is still unknown whether this creates lasting motor memory.

🎟️ TodayTix’s Pandemic Bet Paid Off

Great Hill Partners acquired a majority stake in TodayTix for $73 million in May 2019. By the end of 2019, the theater-ticketing startup had reached $100 million in annual revenue. Its trajectory later led to a sale to Ari Emanuel in 2025.

The timing became difficult almost immediately. TodayTix acquired U.K. competitor Encore Tickets in February 2020, then live events stopped and customers demanded refunds. Great Hill and outside advisers arranged additional debt and equity financing to keep the company solvent for the next 18 months.

The bet depended on the long-term potential of live events, technology, and marketplaces. Founder Brian Fenty says Great Hill was willing to keep investing despite the company losing money, backing a founder-led strategy through the industry’s sharpest contraction.
