Steve Hartmeier, CEO of mOasis, commented, “We are pleased that mOasis is moving on to participate in the Thrive Accelerator Program. Our BountiGel™ products, which incorporate the Aquamer technology, have been very well received and demonstrate results in terms of saving water and increasing yields – particularly where water supplies are limited and where preserving soil moisture is essential. We’re really looking forward to working with the expert mentors over the next two months, leading up to the Demo Day in early March.”
