Today, we're proud to highlight another exciting IQT 25 for 25 company! In 2018, IQT invested in Bounce, a company that develops a camera resembling a large softball with multiple lenses that can be tossed into a room to send back images of an interior in potentially dangerous situations, ensuring humans do not enter locations without situational awareness. It has been used by multiple IQT government partners and has helped save lives. Our investment accelerated changes that were already on the company’s roadmap and added new features essential for the product’s use on missions. The modifications enhanced the capabilities of the throwable camera, helping Bounce boost commercial sales and take its product into the defense market. #IQTat25

Today, we're proud to highlight another exciting IQT 25 for 25 company! In 2017, IQT recognized the limitations of optical satellites, which required daylight and no cloud cover in order to gather images, and actively sought out technological alternatives. Capella’s vision and technology led us to invest in the company, which was one of the first startups to develop SAR capabilities to collect Earth-observation data in all kinds of weather conditions 24 hours a day. Capella’s technology offered very early insight into the potential of the commercial market to serve IQT’s government partner needs. Today, Capella’s satellites have been tasked many thousands of times since the war in Ukraine began, providing crucial, real-time access to what is happening on the ground. #IQTat25
