SCRA Technology Ventures accepted Greenville-based SkyBridge Holdings and South Yeast Labs, among other companies, into its SC Launch Program.
SkyBridge provides cost-effective, customer-usable data from professionally designed unmanned aircraft, sensor and software systems to enhance precision agriculture. Other uses would be shore patrol, fire spotting, pipeline inspection and forest fire spotting and location.
SouthYeast Labs has a chemical and engineering process for bioprospecting, characterization and banking of regional microorganisms for the craft brewing industry.
Charleston-area company BidLAN, Florence-based Epic Optix and Fort Mill-based Thrive GPO Inc. were also accepted as client companies.
Companies accepted into the SC Launch economic development program receive mentoring and other support services. These companies may be eligible to receive matching funds or larger investments.
