Indianapolis-based NEXT Studios is growing its portfolio with two new central Indiana-based startups. Pulse Analytix, a digital platform for civic oversight, and Voxi, which provides data-driven product placement, have joined the venture studio.

The NEXT Studios team, which is led by Joseph Cudby, Tom Kilcoyne, Shelley Klingerman and John McDonald, says it is applying its process for helping ideas become products and products become companies to the two new startups.

“We are excited to continue to grow our portfolio with these great startups that are empowering consumers and disrupting their industries through the power of data analytics and machine learning,” said Shelley Klingerman, managing partner of NEXT Studios. “We are thrilled to be their partner on their entrepreneurial journey.”

Pulse Analytix was added to the portfolio in November 2020. The cloud-based customer service platform helps improve transparency, accountability and communication.

Voxi, which was founded by Nathan Miller, was added to the portfolio this month. Voxi creates custom platforms that serve as a marketplace for consumers to view, learn and purchase products they see on screen.
