Market Square Ventures announces five additional investments
With eight in its portfolio, MSV says all but one are based in Tennessee.
Market Square Ventures (MSV), the new Knoxville-based fund, has announced additional investments beyond the three initial Tennessee-based start-ups: VetVerifi, winner of the pitch competition during the 2023 “3686” event, and Daily Crunch, both based in Nashville, and Authentrics.AI, located in Knoxville and featured in this February 2024 teknovation.biz article.
Additions to the portfolio include:
- Trinity Guardion, maker of the Soteria® Bed Barrier. It is the first of its kind launderable and reusable healthcare bed barrier, the only such product cleared by the Food and Drug Administration that provides a protective physical barrier to protect the bed and mattress from patient soiling, helping to reduce contamination during use.
- AGYL AI, the company we spotlighted earlier this month in teknovation.biz that is an umbrella of three companies with the primary one being EKOM which, as its name suggests, is focused on eCommerce.
- Laborup, a company founded by three University of Tennessee, Knoxville students and focused on helping those interested in manufacturing jobs find those opportunities. The start-up was spotlighted in this June teknovation.biz article.
- MyHome, a start-up we spotlighted in this mid-August teknovation.biz article, that developed an app built specifically for homeowners and their specific pain points when it comes to maintenance.
- Unified Track, a company focused on transforming the educational landscape for counselors, students, and their families by leveraging artificial intelligence-driven predictive analytics for goal-setting and deploying a sophisticated early warning system.
MSV Managing Partner Brandon Bruce said four of the investments are in Knoxville companies and all but one are in start-ups located in the Volunteer State.
