What Kenobi does

Kenobi is a privately held holding company and incubator, founded in 2020 and based in New York, that develops and operates 12 portfolio companies built on a unifying thesis of "resonance physics." The portfolio spans energy (Sylentra vertical-axis wind turbines, AEC perpetual energy cell, SIO hydrogen/plasma research), human health (Divina Biotech immunotherapy, Cell Code VSEL stem cell therapy, Jyzen bio-optimization, Manna Vitality supplements, Sourcewave bio-frequency patches), technology (Phree voice-analysis headphones), water (Aeon plasma-activated water), agriculture (Solai AI-enabled greenhouses), and mining (Field Futures chemical-free extraction). Underlying technologies include proprietary bio-polymer composites, VSEL stem cell activation via scalar waves, plasma-activated water, and resonance-based extraction methods, with at least one granted patent (SOLAI, 2020).

The company operates with a deliberately minimal team of two core members — CEO Mark Hinds and CMO Beth McDougall — supported by a purpose-built AI called Genesis that performs investor drafting, patent management, market analysis, financial modeling, and website operations. The core technology claims are extraordinary and self-reported, including hydrogen production at greater than 100% efficiency, 700% increases in mining yields, and a small study in which all 12 Stage 4 heart failure patients were removed from the transplant list after VSEL therapy.

Kenobi's business model combines portfolio holding with multi-channel monetization: licensing and royalties from incubated technologies, direct-to-consumer e-commerce for Manna Vitality supplements, clinical and licensed distribution for Cell Code (with FDA RMAT process initiated), FDA-regulated sales preparation for Sourcewave patches, and emerging retail distribution via Home Depot and Costco pilots for Solai greenhouses. No disclosed revenue, funding rounds, pricing, or parent company exists; ownership is described as founder/management-controlled, and the perpetual energy cell is targeted for 2025 market entry.
