Three Founders, Two Truths, One Lie: The Future You Didn't See Coming
Meet the innovators behind Pointer Health, ChemCode, and Green-On—three startups currently involved in the Plug and Play AgTech and Animal Health accelerator program based out of Topeka, Kan. Anna Agnello of Pointer Health is building an AI platform that predicts over 170 diseases in dogs with 96% accuracy; Selçuk Uğurlu of ChemCode makes lab-quality mycotoxin testing as simple as brewing coffee; and Annette Graneli of Green-On is bypassing agriculture completely by making fats and oils from electricity, water, and CO2. From predicting disease in dogs to detecting toxins in food to creating sustainable ingredients from thin air, these founders are turning science fiction into commercial reality, using breakthrough technology to solve problems that affect millions of lives, both human and animal.
