Founders

Jasmin Hinnant

We know that working as a POC, Woman, or LGBTQ+ can be difficult. We even left great positions at even greater companies because of it. This is why we created Sojo Signal, a black-owned business created by HR leaders with over 20 years of combined experience, that focuses on providing marginalized folks with insights on how inclusive their dream companies are before they apply or accept a position.

Jeremy Epps

RotorX pushes the frontier of logistics using ultra heavy-lift aerial drone technology. As a Ph.D candidate at Georgia Tech, my passion for robotics and autonomous systems lead to the creation of the RotorX , which began as a collaboration of several research projects. Since then we have collected roughly 393K in funding and are currently aiming to create a second prototype of our ultra-lift drone named Palledrone.
