On this weeks podcast my guest is James Slifierz, CEO of SkyWatch. James got his start in winning the NASA global SpaceApps Challenge in 2014. He then went on to create SkyWatch to take that initial software idea and develop it into a commercial product. In 2016 his company took the lead in organizing the SpaceApps Challenge for the Waterloo Region. Last year they brought on board the Canadian Space Agency as a partner. Today SkyWatch announced that after a little over 3 1/2 years after winning NASA’s global SpaceApps Challenge and starting the company, they've closed their seed financing, raising US$3.2M.
