Manufacturers want to maximize the value of using their products to their customers. However, they fall short when a product breaks down and isn't adequately supported. We see the day when a fully documented digital twin becomes the new baseline for product support. Zea is mapping a path towards this vision with a novel 3D digital twin platform that saves content authoring time and improves customer experience. Zea Engine™ is at the heart of Zea's next-generation 3D cloud platform. A high-performance 3D graphics engine designed from the ground up to render manufacturing, not video games. It unlocks new possibilities for service teams that, until now, were only available through expensive enterprise-level product life cycle (PLM) software.

Techstars helps founders scale their startups into world-changing businesses. Founded in 2006, Techstars is on a mission to invest in startups to enable more capital to flow to more entrepreneurs around the world in order to deliver exceptional returns to our investors. We do this by operating accelerator programs and venture capital funds, as well as by connecting startups, investors, corporations, and cities to help build thriving startup communities. Our results show why Techstars is Better for Founders than any other global accelerator: On average, 74.5% of Techstars companies will raise money within 3 years of their program; 18.5% of Techstars portfolio companies have exited 5 years after their program and 31.1% after eight years.
