For many of our startups, eMerge Americas serves as a platform to network and showcase their innovation. This concept didn’t fall short with Boatrax, one of our Early Stage startups. Following eMerge Americas, The New Tropic named Boatrax one of the top five most promising startups.
Dedicated to enhancing the boater experience via its online platform and corresponding smart box, their system completely simplifies and automates boat maintenance, enhancing boat safety and investment protection. At eMerge, Boatrax was able to meet with industry players, like CEO of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida as well as members of the West Marine retail stores. These connections have lead Boatrax to gain access to a network associated with the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show and one of West Marine’s key purchasing agents.
“Three of the biggest benefits of attending eMerge is exposure, validation and effective networking. For us eMerge is one of the best things to have ever happened to Miami. It’s dedication to developing the city’s tech industry and supporting its startup community is invaluable,” says Arturo Malave, co-founder of Boatrax.
