FOUNDER/CEO, TRL11
WHY: Runs maker of video and monitoring products for satellites. IN THE NEWS: Raised $3M in pre-seed funding. Round led by Boost VC, which invests in startups that are “accelerating the sci-fi future.”
NOTABLE: Founded and led video equipment maker Teradek, whose Bolt 4K wireless transmission system earned Verheem a “Technical Oscar” and an Engineering Emmy Award.
QUOTABLE: “I’ve always been a sci-fi space nerd, but I never thought of it as a career path. However, the recent explosive growth in the number of launches to low Earth orbit creates some real challenges … some of which can best—or sometimes only—be solved with full video solutions.”
