Meet the 2015 StartFast Companies

We're thrilled to announce the companies selected for this summer's program! These finalists were selected from more than 2,000 startups screened during a five-month process. Congrats to these talented teams:Hoverstat: Hoverstat provides drone-automated roof inspections to the insurance industry. When an insurance adjuster arrives at a house, all they must do is set down the drone and activate the app. The drone then uses an automated flight pattern, sending measurements and damage information to the app where the adjuster can add to the estimate before printing it out for the homeowner. Insurance companies will be able to provide faster, more accurate relief at a lower cost.Website: http://www.hoverstat.comFounding Team: Leanne Eckelberg; Mark SappSmartyPans: SmartyPans comprises of a smart cooking pan and a recipe app: They interact with each other via bluetooth.
