PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB) March 04, 2015 -- “2015’s most promising RoyseLaw AgTech Incubator companies have been selected to be featured at the annual RoyseLaw Silicon Valley AgTech Conference, to be held on May 11, 2015 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California,” announced Roger Royse, founder of the RoyseLaw AgTech Incubator. The 11 startups, all innovators at the crossroads of agriculture and technology, will exhibit and pitch at the upcoming AgTech Conference, which sold out last year and is now selling admission to the public via Eventbrite. The Incubator startups are members of a program that includes co-working space, mentoring from agribusiness and food experts, and instructional programs in several areas, including technology, law, accounting, innovation, and operations.
Members of the AgTech Incubator are actively mentored and advised by 26 subject matter experts and supported by 15 Incubator sponsors and partners. In its second year, the AgTech Conference is an “innovation hotspot for farmers, technologists, venture capitalists, startups and others to explore how technology is rewriting the dynamics of farming and food,” according to Royse, “and is therefore an ideal showcase for the Incubator’s most promising AgTech startups.”
