Mentoring
and Savings
BY KATHY PRETZ
RUNNING A STARTUP isn't cheap. Many founders
bootstrap their company to survive. IEEE is helping
members who are entrepreneurs save money
through its new Powered by IEEE program.
The program, developed by the IEEE Entrepreneurship
Initiative, includes discounts to the IEEE
Xplore Digital Library and IEEE DataPort. Participants
also receive a US $10,000 credit toward
the purchase of software from Freshworks, which
provides customer-relationship management tools.
In addition, startups receive free mentoring
from other entrepreneurs through IEEE's
Founder Office Hours program.
To be eligible for the Powered by IEEE
program, an applicant must be an IEEE member
who is a CEO, founder, or a senior manager
of a startup. Also, the startup must have been
launched within the past 10 years and employ a
maximum of 50 people.

AMOGH RAJANNA
This year he founded TFWireless, in Burbank, Calif. The
senior member is working to commercialize a physical-layer
rateless codec method, which is a forward error correction/
channel coding and automatic repeat request technology. It is
designed to provide more reliable and less costly transmission
of information bits between the transmitter and receiver in a
wireless environment.
Here are three of the entrepreneurs who are participating in the program.
JOSH ELIJAH
The IEEE member is the founder of BotBlox, in London.
It designs and manufactures extremely small networking
hardware electronics boards for small drones and mobile
robots. Elijah says he works with some of the newest technologies
in electronics networking, such as single-pair Ethernet.
He claims his startup's 2G5Blox to be the world's first 2.5G
(2.5GBASE-T) Ethernet switch.
JOANNE WONG
The IEEE member launched SciosHub last year to improve
the data management, performance, and costs of conducting
research in life sciences. The company's flagship product is a
software-as-a-service and informatics platform that automates
and simplifies the back-end data-management process to enable
researchers to focus on data analysis.
