@truman_pierson @thetaneurotech @UChicagoMed @KartheeMadasamy @polskycenter @bandinvestors Wow!! Let’s go Truman 🔥🔥

@thetaneurotech has raised $1.75m pre-seed to monitor the brain and predict epileptic seizures The round was led by Vaark Ventures, with support from @UChicagoMed Ventures, Harper Court Ventures (@KartheeMadasamy), @polskycenter, @bandinvestors, and many others! Theta Neurotech is developing wearable patches that monitor and stream non-invasive brain signals (EEG) to a paired mobile app. Patient-specific ML models detect shifts in brain activity that occur prior to an epileptic seizure, allowing for early alert and preventative action Thank you so much to all additional investors that participated in this round: @daxos_capital, @berkeleyangels, @JoinJosephine (@DesireeChicago), @chicago_early, @LoftyVentures (@Chris_Deutsch), @_LeapYear_ (@HankCouture), Troy Gregory, Karen Taylor Crowe, Will Fischer, and Noel Moore *Theta Neurotech's seizure prediction system is in development and not cleared by the FDA*

Reinforcement learning is powering agents through trial, error, and rewards. The TAM is "all of human labor" and there's a lot on the line. After talking to 20+ founders in the space, we're excited to put out the definitive market map.

“sooo, what's the deal with all the cornell startup lately??" not sure if it's the black sheep of campus roots that keep us all so tight or how the ithaca cold leaves nothing else to do except code in ehub… but there’s something rlly special happening 🔮 thx @zfellows + SPC!

@NicSherrod Wow, thank you so much for sharing Nicole! I've always looked up to you via my mother. That's exactly the goal of this piece: for everyone to know that this path exists in the first place! Lots of terrain to be trekked ahead! 🫡

If I could turn back time, this is the path I would take. I started my career at E*TRADE in Customer Service. My cube was next to the mother of @avalpoole who is featured in this piece. She is one to watch. Give her a follow! usatoday.com/story/money/20…

Sooo honored to have the 🐐 @lizwessel come speak with our house & community Walked away with our knowledge WayUp (pun intended) on navigating the startup journey 💥 Thanks also to @nylesykes for bringing us together!
