Software Developer

We're a relatively new team, being created in Fall of 2019. In that time, we have been speaking with the entrepreneurship community at U of I to determine what types of software they need to thrive. We provide services and software tools for startups, and fill the gaps in the entrepreneurship community by identifying and researching problems.
