Vector of Beloit makes bow hunting arrows. Each arrow is custom-built to the user’s specifications. Vector’s online store launched in January 2020, and it has generated more than $3,500 in revenue.
RealityBLU of Beloit provides marketers with a platform to create augmented reality experiences. Its platform eliminated the technical barrier to implement and measure augmented reality experiences, allowing marketers to attract more customers. It’s acquired more than 290 users and grown 300% year to date.
gBETA Beloit’s Fall 2019 cohort kicked off on Dec. 5 with five local startups working for seven weeks with the gBETA team to meet mentors, gain customer traction, and pitch to accelerators and investors. The cohort graduates on Feb. 4 at Pitch Night. There will be an opportunity before and after the presentations to network with the startup companies and other attendees.
“It’s exciting to showcase these five startups to the community,” said Mason Cook, director of gBETA Beloit. “This cohort consists of a diverse group of startups ranging from custom hunting arrows to augmented reality marketing software. All of the companies have made incredible progress during our seven-week program and I’m thrilled to see the impact each will have in the greater community.”
