    DapUp

    DapUp hello@dapup.com 60 Hazelwood Drive, Champaign, IL 61820 DapUp has invented the first automated NIL ad platform, enabling businesses to launch athlete-driven marketing campaigns with the touch of a finger — just like Meta Ads. By automating campaign creation, contracts, deliverables, and ROI tracking, DapUp transforms NIL from a manual process into a streamlined, performance-based ad channel. The platform integrates with tools like NIL GO to simplify compliance, making it easier for schools to manage and oversee NIL activity. DapUp was founded by Ayden Owens-Delerme — a Paris Olympian, 4x NCAA Champion, and MBA graduate — with a mission to modernize athlete marketing and unlock opportunity for all sides of the NIL ecosystem. https://dapup.co/

    GigaCrop

    GigaCrop ceiben@gigacrop.com 60 Hazelwood Dr. Champaign, IL  GigaCrop’s mission is to make more food with less land by increasing crop yields. GigaCrop’s technical approach is making photosynthesis faster by avoiding the current slow step, rubisco, entirely. This is achieved by GigaCrop’s novel carbon fixation pathway that has a higher maximum flux than the native Calvin Benson cycle plants use today. Faster photosynthesis enables crops to convert more CO2 into sugars and seeds per year. By unlocking yield inaccessible by conventional breeding, GigaCrop will disrupt the $24B per year transgenic seed market. gigacrop.com

    Photon Queue

    Photon Queue nathan@photonqueue.com 60 Hazelwood Dr, Champaign, IL Photon Queue is a hardware company developing quantum memories and the first quantum startup from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The company aims to become the premier supplier of photonic quantum memories for the emerging quantum communication, networking, and computing sectors. Quantum memories comprise many of the required components for these sectors and will command a significant fraction of this market size, but the currently available quantum memory technologies lack many performance metrics. The quantum memory technology at Photon Queue has been pioneered by the research group of Prof. Paul Kwiat over the past two decades. It outperforms all competing technologies in head-to-head comparisons for several critical quantum applications. The company aims to accelerate the realization of important quantum applications by providing high-performance quantum memories. photonqueue.com Photon Queue at Research Park Photon Queue Meets with Venture Investors in Silicon Valley Photon Queue Pitches Bay Area Startups at San Francisco’s Deep Tech Week
