Indianapolis tech startup Arrive calls off planned merger – Indianapolis Business Journal
Indianapolis-based smart-mailbox startup Arrive AI has called off its planned merger with Canada-based Brüush Oral Care Inc.
In December, Arrive announced it planned to go public by merging with Vancouver, British Columbia-based Brüush, a publicly traded e-commerce company that sells electric toothbrushes. At the time of that announcement, Arrive said it anticipated closing the merger in the first quarter of 2024.
But late Friday, Arrive said it was terminating the merger agreement because Brüush had been suspended from the Nasdaq Stock Market for failure to comply with Nasdaq’s qualifications for listing.
“We were repeatedly advised that Brüush expected to clear its Nasdaq hurdles, but in the end, that just wasn’t the case,” Arrive CEO Dan O’Toole said in a written statement.
Under terms of the deal, the combined company would have been based in Indianapolis and led by Arrive’s existing management team, headed by O’Toole.
O’Toole said Arrive is still working to become a publicly traded company, and he believes that will happen by year’s end.
Arrive launched in 2019 and did business as DroneDek Corp. until a rebranding last year, when it became Arrive Technology Inc. The company, which rebranded again this year as Arrive AI, has developed a climate-controlled, secure receptacle for deliveries made by drones, couriers, or robots.
One of Nasdaq’s listing requirements is that a company must have an audit committee made up of at least three people, all of whom are independent directors. On April 18, Brüush disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it had missed an April 12 deadline to come into compliance with the requirement. In its filing, Brüush noted that it had submitted a compliance plan to a Nasdaq hearings panel but had not yet received a decision.
Brüush also fell out of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum share price requirement and because of a delinquency in filing its annual report for the year ended Oct. 31, 2023.

New bridge over 96th Street adds to Nickel Plate Trail connections
FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — The Nickel Plate Trail pedestrian bridge over 96th Street is officially open.
It was being touted Friday as a major milestone for central Indiana’s growing trail system. The street is the Fishers-Indianapolis border.
Leaders called the project a critical connection point for the Nickel Plate Trail. The new bridge helps move the nearly 17-mile trail closer to its goal of connecting multiple counties through one continuous path.
The bridge also came with a 1.3-mile trail extension. A $4.5 million grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources made the bridge possible.
Dale Brier, deputy director of Indiana Department of Natural Resources, talked about the state’s Next Level Trails grant program. “Currently, we have 89 trail projects that that were funded with that money. Fifty-nine of those are complete. We’ve got 12 under construction. As of this opening, we have 167 miles of trail that have now been opened with that grant money.”
People who frequently take the trail for their daily exercises say they’re excited the bridge is finally open.
Alan Errichiello of the Fishers Running Club said, “Extending this down south into Indianapolis is a big game changer for us. It’ll add a lot of miles that we can easily get into.”
Resident Tracy Mundell said, “Trying to get to the other side was nearly impossible, so I think most people didn’t even attempt it. It’s going to be great, we can get over to the other side, and I’m anxious to see what’s over there.”
The final portion of the project, called the Clear Path project, remains under construction.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, a Republican, said, “We need to double-down on that investment, and we know time and time again here in the city of Fishers that trail systems, the ability to get up and get out and get active, is such an important part in our culture of health, that an investment like this is critical.”
Once complete, local leaders say the goal is to provide a more safe and connected routes between Noblesville, Fishers, Indianapolis and other surrounding cities.
Resident Steve Mundell said, “It’s lovely. It’ll be real convenient to get across too.”

Good and bad from Colts’ 2026 NFLPA report card grades
What grades did the Indianapolis Colts earn on the 2026 NFLPA report cards?
The NFLPA is no longer able to make their annual report cards public. However, ESPN’s Kayln Kahler was able to obtain a copy of the reports following the 2025 NFL season, and the Indianapolis Colts were again around the middle of the pack.
In these report cards, players rate numerous aspects of the organizations they play for, from ownership to the training facilities and everything in between. According to Kahler, 1,759 players contributed to these grades.
So, where did the Colts end up this year relative to the rest of the NFL this year?
Overall, the Colts ranked 17th. Below is a breakdown of each individual grade they received.
- Treatment of Families: B
- Home Game Field: D
- Food/Dining Area: B
- Nutritionist/Dietician: A-
- Locker Room: C+
- Training Room: B
- Training Staff: B+
- Weight Room: B

- Position Coaches: B
- Offensive Coordinator: B
- Defensive Coordinator: B+
- Special Teams Coordinator: B+
- Team Travel: B-
- Head Coach: A-

Of note, although the Colts haven’t been to the postseason in five years, Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard both received high marks.
Carlie Irsay Gordon, Kalen Jackson, and Casey Foyt earned an A in their first year as the primary owners.
The field at Lucas Oil Stadium received a very low mark, earning a D, while the locker room was given a C+. Those were the two lowest grades the Colts received.
Compared to the 2025 rankings, the Colts moved up two spots this year, after coming in at 19th last year.
The biggest jumps the Colts experienced came in the Food/Dining grade, which went from a C to a B. The Team travel grade also jumped from a D+ to a B-.
