If you’re ever conned to be in charge of creating the Little League Baseball schedule or getting all your co workers registered for the company bowling league, then NetLeagues could solve all your logistical problems. (Except maybe who has to bring the juice boxes to the next baseball practice.)

NetLeagues is a management platform designed for amateur sports leagues. In 2010, they began developing a better way to register for leagues and schedule games.

Karl Beisel, the President and Lead Developer of NetLeagues, is a software engineer by day and the founder of sport and social clubs by night. Vice president of sales and customer service Brandon Hummel makes sure customers have top-notch service, and Aubrie Aviña vice president of marketing and PR makes sure they’re reaching the right customers.

What do you get for the person who has everything? Don’t stress about hanging ornaments and finding a present for everyone on your list. Potlatch, your virtual Santa, has the answer.

Potlatch is an application that makes Christmas and birthday shopping simple. The app links users with friends and family’s wish lists and gift registries. The app is also your one stop shop for all your gifts; the interface allows users to purchase items directly from linked websites.

Lexington residents Harrison Whaley and John Quisenberry hope to make gift giving a simple, convenient task. Potlatch even gives you event updates, so you never forget another anniversary.

In the future they hope to bring gift-giving to the next level, by building a business that allows them to give back to their community.

Lexington-based Tinker Tech. Co. aims to solve obvious problems by simply simplifying the solution.They do just that with the product the Hillbarrow, which make yard work easier for everyone by attaching a durable and eco- friendly electric motor to a standard Wheelbarrow.

If an electric wheelbarrow makes your job too easy, they even offer a DIY attachment to add to your work-worn wheelbarrow for you to get your hands dirty with.

Gary and Valerie Vandelinde make up the team behind Tinker Tech company and are working on more products that will make all of our lives easier.
