Kleiner Perkins is a century old venture capital firm that needed their CRM overhauled. Grio designed and developed the Signals mobile app as a compliment to KP's CRM that allows trusted partners to have a direct path for information into this same pipeline. Grio integrated multiple business intelligence tools into the CRM and created an unstructured data intake mechanism to feed the information pipeline. Key triggers were surfaced for data consumers at all levels of the organization. The solution was integral to KP’s strategy and investment meetings, scheduling, deal flow, and decision making.

The iCoin Wallet System is an Air Gap digital wallet for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The wallet uses a rear-facing camera to read and import the blockchain data required to create a transaction.

Grio provided iOS and Android development for apps for consumer applications as well as architecting the blockchain communications between the apps and the hardware wallet. The iCoin Wallet System was released in 2022, and was named Best Bitcoin Hardware Wallet in 2023 by BraveNewCoin.
