GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY! I'm Nicholas Jordan, an Army veteran, new entrepreneur, and technical founder. I founded Acris Software in September 2025 to create a new AI-native Electronic Medical Records system for small-to-medium size neurology clinics due to my combat injuries. I'm currently completing PenFed Foundation's Incubator Program, IVMF's Syracuse University's EBV program, and will be attending Harvard University's Foundry program in September. I'm passionate about what I'm building and I've been writing software since I could walk. I spent the last 5 years rehabilitating from injuries, physical and mental, where I attended PTSD Foundation of America's Camp Hope in Houston Texas. That healing journey has led me to my new mission: revealing the unseen.

I'm building an agnostic vertical AI-native platform with the first market focused on orthopedic clinics. During development I've intentionally built an internal operations system. I have an intake system, project management system, knowledge/library system, calendar, and a proprietary AI named 'Ceres'. I now have gotten Ceres to generate code and train itself. That frees up a lot of time and saves me money. It also keeps my data and codebase secure. I'm conducting my customer interviews to validate/invalidate my product. I'm looking to speak with doctors, clinicians, nurses, front desk, office managers, healthcare administration, and billing/insurance personnel. I have a 5 minute survey they can fill out. If you know anyone in healthcare that works in orthopedic I would love an introduction.

Kelly Loeffler, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), announced a new rule allowing borrowers to combine their 7(a) and 504 loans for up to $10 million in SBA-backed financing. This change doubles the previous $5 million cap, expanding access to capital for small businesses across industries. - Small businesses in construction, logistics, food production, manufacturing, energy, and related industries can now apply for up to $5 million through the 7(a) program while continuing to use unlimited 504 loans for distinct projects. - The rule takes effect July 4, marking the highest financing level in SBA history. - Loeffler emphasized that the Trump Administration is “unleashing historic new capital” to help small businesses grow, hire, and expand production. - The initiative aims to empower job creators, strengthen American manufacturing, and boost the small business economy. In short, the SBA’s new policy significantly increases available funding for small businesses—especially manufacturers—by combining two major loan programs under a unified $10 million cap.
