Matthew Rooda, Founder & CEO of SwineTech

If you had an idea and were asked to take time off school, give up all your resources, couch surf and spend your time attempting to fundraise millions of dollars - would you do it? Matthew Rooda did in 2015 when he and his co-founder started forward with an idea to automate swine care and the current health care industry through agricultural technologies that weren’t developed as of yet. The result was admittance into an accelerator program, a semester off from school, investors, development, and a new business - SwineTech.
