Startup of the Week
Liquid Instruments, measuring at a new standard
The demand for test and measurement equipment in the electronics industry is growing, but it is based on decades-old technology that relies on expensive devices, each designed for a distinct function. Our portfolio company Liquid Instruments is disrupting this $24B market with a single configurable, programmable device that can replace a dozen separate pieces of test equipment. The company's flagship product, Moku:Pro, provides a suite of nine professional-grade instruments in a single device, saving customers tens of thousands of dollars. Liquid Instruments is projecting strong growth both in 2022 and 2023 and has over 1,000 customers in more than 30 countries, including Apple, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Nvidia and Xilinx, as well as research clients NASA, Harvard, Yale, UCLA and CalTech. OurCrowd has an allocation in the company's Series B round alongside co-investors Lockheed Martin Ventures, ANU Connect Ventures and Moelis Australia's Growth Capital Fund.
Angel investors spread their wings worldwide
Angel investing, in common with other forms of venture capital, has traditionally been hyper local. We are now witnessing the growing globalization of angel venture capital. My latest 'Investors on the Frontlines' column.
Taranis raises $40M for crop intelligence tech
Our AgriTech pioneer Taranis raised $40M to advance its AI-powered crop intelligence platform, which taps information from over 200 million data points around the world. The system gives farmers leaf-level imagery and data, simplifying harvest management and improving the bottom line. "We see a tremendous need for crop intelligence at scale as growers deal with soaring costs and a constant need to increase productivity and yield," says Ofir Schlam, Taranis President & Co-founder. The latest round brings the total raised by Taranis to over $100M. OurCrowd investors can still participate in this round for a limited time.

Mermade's affordable scallops are on the way
Scallops cost a small fortune and are becoming harder to come by due to overfishing and stagnating fish farm growth, but lovers of these protein-rich mollusks might be in luck, thanks to our portfolio company Mermade Seafoods, writes Zachy Hennessey in the Jerusalem Post. The company uses inexpensive, environmentally friendly, circular agriculture technology to produce cultivated scallops. It plans to grow them in laboratory conditions by next year with the support of $3.3M in seed funds raised so far. The company's oversubscribed round is still open to OurCrowd investors.
