No comments

Tending a garden is often referred to as a labor of love — taking an abundance of patience and time spent weeding. However, Tertill, a robotic gardener, can change that. Created by the inventor of Roomba, Tertill pulls weeds without the need for herbicides, hauling mulch, or putting down ugly plastic films.

Tertill was one startup featured in the most recent episode of Go for Launch. Go for Launch is Innovation Leader’s series of live startup demos. During each episode, three startups pitch their solutions in 30 minutes. Then, our guest hosts ask questions to the entrepreneurs. After the webcast concludes, participants have the opportunity to connect with founders in virtual breakout rooms to ask their questions.

Diana AI and Appsmith also pitched their products. Diana AI allows teams to sort through enterprise data through voice commands, making searching for information easier. Appsmith is an open source system for companies to build custom internal tools using low code.

This episode also features insights from Paul Gaffney, Chief Technology Officer of Kohl’s. Matt Perlow, a Vice President of Silicon Valley Bank, co-hosts this episode. Silicon Valley Bank is also a sponsor of our Go For Launch series.

Presenting Startups

Tertill (3:55) — Tertill is the first robot designed to weed your home garden. Its rugged waterproof shell and solar panel let it stay in the garden all season long, running on nothing but sunshine. This device was created by Joe Jones, inventor of the Roomba vacuum cleaner.
Diana AI (12:14) — Companies build countless dashboards and reports, but there is always a need for more information and more analysis. Diana AI builds a Siri or Google assistant for enterprise data. So, instead of staring at countless dashboards, users can ask a question and get the analysis in secs, not weeks or months.
Appsmith (21:55) — Appsmith is an open source framework to build internal tools. The low-code project comes with UI widgets like tables, charts, forms, map viewer, and more. App can easily connect to REST APIs, Postgres, Mongo, and MySQL. Users can also invite users and allow login with Google accounts.
