Cheddar TV’s Go Fund Yourself continues to spotlight bold innovators pushing the boundaries of tech, wellness, and consumer experiences. On Episode 13, two standout businesses—Zirconia Inc. and Monkey Dooz—presented their unique value propositions to a national audience and a panel of high-profile business leaders.
Unlike traditional pitch shows, Go Fund Yourself combines strategic mentorship with real-time visibility. Entrepreneurs not only pitch for funding but gain access to a powerful trio of Titans: Rory Cutaia (Founder of VERB Technology and Go Fund Yourself creator), David Meltzer (Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation), and Jayson Waller (Founder of BAM Coaching & Consulting and serial entrepreneur). Each brings decades of experience across tech, business development, and brand building, offering founders more than capital—offering transformation.
Zirconia Inc.: Reinventing Infrastructure with Advanced Materials Technology
Zirconia Inc. is disrupting the global infrastructure industry with its groundbreaking Ceramic Surface Treatment (CST) technology. The company has created the first ceramic coating that chemically bonds to concrete and steel at room temperature—eliminating the need for kilns and offering unprecedented resistance to corrosion.
By extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure—from bridges to dams—Zirconia is reducing long-term costs and dramatically cutting carbon emissions tied to rebuilding and repairs. This innovation combines next-gen materials science with practical, real-world impact.
The Titans were impressed by the company’s potential to transform the construction, transportation, and utilities sectors. Rory Cutaia called it “a generational innovation with the potential to redefine infrastructure worldwide.” David Meltzer highlighted its environmental value, while Jayson Waller focused on the commercial scalability across B2B and government markets.
Monkey Dooz: Scaling a Feel-Good Franchise with Purpose
In a segment that fused charm with clear business viability, Monkey Dooz presented a customer-centric model focused on the children’s personal care market. The brand transforms routine kids’ haircuts into playful, memorable experiences—complete with themed outfits, glitter accessories, and personalized styling sessions. What began as a solution to a personal parenting challenge is now a profitable and emotionally resonant brand with franchise growth potential.
Monkey Dooz also stood out for its commitment to social impact, including its partnership with the Rainforest Foundation US. As a brand rooted in emotional wellness and environmental responsibility, it offers franchisees and investors a model that goes beyond profitability—creating community value and brand loyalty. Cutaia praised its unique positioning, calling it “a service that speaks directly to families while tapping into the rising demand for experience-based consumer offerings.”
Go Fund Yourself: Mentorship Meets Momentum
The appeal of Go Fund Yourself lies in its hybrid format—where investment opportunities intersect with expert coaching and mainstream exposure. For founders, this means an unmatched chance to test their messaging, refine their models, and build relationships that can last far beyond the show.
Each Titan contributes distinct strategic insight: Cutaia brings cutting-edge tech acumen, Meltzer offers deep-rooted business philosophy and access, and Waller delivers hard-won tactics for scaling fast and building sustainable revenue. Their combined perspectives provide a rare accelerant for early-stage or scaling ventures.
For startups and founders seeking exposure, guidance, and funding, Go Fund Yourself remains a launchpad with measurable impact. Applications are open for future episodes.
