Researchers at the California Institute of Technology reported last week that they have created a "smart petri dish" which uses Google smart phones and Lego blocks, to automatically monitor cell growth in petri dishes. Usually, petri dishes are placed in incubators, removed for examination, and manually studied under a microscope.
The group said that the winners with Stanford Nitrogen Group , Greenbiotics , and Xite Solar will split the $200,000 in prize money, and also will gain access to the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator.

David Carter and Allen Hurff are two startup veterans, who believe they have a new formula to help create early stage, technology companies, through their new "startup studio", Zuma Ventures (www.zumavc.com). How is this different than accelerator or incubator? We created a product that would allow you to print barcodes.

Taking notice of the gap between the amount and depth of research and technology at local universities, and new company formation, a new group has quietly formed in Los Angeles to tackle the issue. The group includes a number of experienced CEOs with experience raising venture capital as well as bringing companies to an IPO or exit.
Limited (AI technology focused on cancer); Genegoggle Sp. cancer therapeutics and diagnostics in Israel); ImYoo (single-cell transcriptomics company from Caltech); Solena Ag (agricultural biotech company from Mexico); and Yali Biosciences (synthetic biology for creating climate-smart, sustainable foods.).
If it seems strange to find the inventor of Bitcoin living in the San Gabriel Valley, it''s actually not all that surprising given the area is home to one of the most prominent research universities in the United States, The California Institute of Technology ; NASA''s Jet Propulsion Laboratory ; and the original Internet incubator, Idealab.
I thing I’ve learned over the years is that technology purists hate advertising even when it is that revenue stream that truthfully drives much of our industry. Don’t think about starting an incubator until you have real operating experience otherwise you don’t really have anything to offer startups.
Recognizing the tens of billions of dollars that the Southern Californian region leaves on the table, because it hasn’t taken its rightful place in the American technology industry, a new group called the Alliance for Southern California Innovation has just released a report to analyze how SoCal can work to assume its pole position.
With lead investors like Fika Ventures and Fathom Capital, and co-investors, including Toyota AI Ventures, Ubiquity Ventures, Riot.vc, Osage University Partners and Stage Venture Partners, Elementary Robotics is readying itself for commercial pilots with a few undisclosed customers as it proves out its technology.
Southern California has seen a surge in accelerators and incubators looking to spawn new startups in the region. Neil Malhotra: I'm a Caltech engineering graduate, and started with the Internet with eCompanies with Sky Dayton, leading technology for Icebox. What's your background? That's the challenge I want to solve.
In a world with a rash of startup incubators and accelerators, super angels, crowdfunding sites, and more, what''s the relevance of organized angel investments groups? How is an angel group like the Pasadena Angel relevant in today''s world of accelerators, incubators, crowd funding, and more? Terry Kay: That''s a good question.
