Three graduating students at Waterloo Engineering are out to protect the environment and help farmers increase profits with technology to optimize the use of pesticides on crops.
Jack Paduchowski, Brandon Chan and Kurtis Eisler, classmates in the mechatronics engineering program, launched Maesos Technologies in 2020 to collect predictive weather and fungal spore data for wine grape farmers in the Niagara Region with custom sensors.
“Don’t be afraid to talk to people that know more than you do,” Paduchowski said of building a startup company from scratch. “You’ll have some wonderful conversations that can inform decisions you’re making.”
