Latitude Live! Featuring Andrew Martinko from Suncayr

Podcast

It’s episode 56 of the podcast and the 2nd edition of our LIVE podcast. This week we chat with Andrew Martinko, co-founder of 2017 43North winner Suncayr. Suncayr makes a smart sticker that’ll keep you safe in the summer sun.

We cover a lot of ground in this episode including Andrew’s time at University. How he jumped right into startup life upon graduation. The nexus of Suncayr and what problems they’re trying to solve for those who love a life under the sun. How their breakthroughs in nanotechnology have allowed them to create a product that couldn’t have existed ten years ago. They’re time in Buffalo and finding local manufacturing partners for their nanotechnology. And we wrap things up with some Q&A from our very engaged audience.

It’s a jam-packed episode this week on Latitude!
