Taking Flight and Leading the Pack: Meet Our Co-founders

Writer's picture: UltimariiUltimarii

Hello, wildlife enthusiasts and regulatory aficionados! Welcome back to our "Species of the Week" series, where we dive into the fascinating world of species listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). This week, we're taking a slightly different approach, showing off the versatility of our AI-powered tool, Ultimarii.


Ultimarii is designed to help you navigate the regulatory landscape with ease, reducing the time required to complete regulatory processes. But did you know it can also help you get a little creative? This week, we asked Ultimarii to match our co-founders, Doug Schweitzer and Josh Malate, based on the Ultimarii team’s description of them, with their animal counterparts from the SARA list. The results? The Peregrine Falcon and the Eastern Wolf!


Doug Schweitzer: The Peregrine Falcon

Doug, our trailblazing co-founder, is a lawyer known for his innovative thinking, detailed memos, and dogged determination. His high-energy, results-driven approach makes him a natural leader, much like the Peregrine Falcon.


The Peregrine Falcon pealei subspecies, listed as of special concern under SARA, is renowned for its intelligence, adaptability, and remarkable hunting skills. Just as Doug keeps his team updated with informative memos, the Peregrine Falcon communicates through vocalizations and aerial displays.

Doug's role as a lawyer mirrors the Peregrine Falcon's quick decision-making and precise execution. Both are natural leaders in their environments, embodying intelligence, adaptability, and the need for conservation.


The Peregrine Falcon's status under SARA signifies its vulnerability and the need for conservation efforts. If you're planning a major project, it's crucial to consider the potential impacts on this species and take steps to mitigate them. This could include avoiding disturbance during nesting periods, protecting habitats, and monitoring population trends.


Josh Malate: The Eastern Wolf

Josh, our other co-founder, is a driven entrepreneur with a knack for thinking outside the box. He's a go-getter, a strategic thinker, and a risk-taker, much like the Eastern Wolf.

The Eastern Wolf, known for its intelligence, adaptability, and strong social bonds, reflects Josh's active participation in the marching band community and his ability to navigate social dynamics. Both Josh and the Eastern Wolf thrive in environments where they can take control, make data-informed decisions, and drive measurable outcomes.

Josh's love for competition and his go-getter attitude resonate with the Eastern Wolf's competitive nature. Both are willing to take calculated risks to achieve their goals, embodying a driven, strategic, and social nature.


The Eastern Wolf is currently listed as a species of special concern under SARA. This means that it may become threatened or endangered due to a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. If you're planning a major project, it's important to consider the potential impacts on the Eastern Wolf and its habitat. This could involve assessing potential disturbances, protecting critical habitats, and implementing measures to avoid conflicts.


Wrapping Up

So there you have it! Our co-founders, Doug and Josh, as the Peregrine Falcon and the Eastern Wolf. While Ultimarii helps you get to the point faster when it comes to regulatory needs, our AI-powered engine’s versatility also allows users to get creative and adapt to your organization's unique needs. 

Remember, whether you're a Peregrine Falcon soaring through the skies or an Eastern Wolf leading the pack, Ultimarii is here to help you navigate the regulatory landscape with ease. Stay tuned for next week's "Species of the Week"!
