FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT:
PIXELAR
Pixelar transforms agricultural data from pixels into decision-ready
information. Startup Studios allowed them to better articulate their company
strategy and provided mentorship in legal and IP issues, marketing, and
strategic partnerships. Shortly after completing the Startup Studios program,
the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC) awarded Pixelar a
$75,000 Commonwealth Commercialization Fund (CCF) grant.
