The eCenter The eCenter@LindenPointe continues to be the launchpad for technology-based startups and helps individuals turn their business ideas into a reality. The business incubator recently welcomed new tenants to their co-working space. Incrediballs, a health food snack company, was created and founded by eAcademy graduates. The team created the company during their time in the eA classroom and ultimately won first place at the end of year startup competition, Demo Day. They collectively decided to keep pursuing their entrepreneurial business venture over the summer and began setting up shop in the eCenter. We are so excited to support these young entrepreneurs as they continue to grow their business! The eCenter also welcomed a new tenant (formerly a co-working client) to suite 103. CUPOD LLC designs and manufactures machines that dispense a powerful yet safe disinfecting solution that is created when pure water is gently reacted with reagent-filled pods. Targeting initially the foodservice industry, CUPOD is positioning itself as a leader of green solutions that help keep plastic bottles out of landfills
