Top 4 Tech Startups for 2014

No. 2: Bounce Imaging Inc.

Bounce Imaging Inc. This Boston-based startup, founded by MIT students David Young and Francisco Aguillar, develops low-cost technology meant to improve the work of first responders. More specifically, Bounce Imaging designs throwable cameras and sensors that can also detect radiation or carbon monoxide. In this way, first responders are able to learn firsthand what is in a particular room before having to enter it. The baseball-sized devices transmit data over Wi-Fi and compiles images together so that first responders can get a clear picture of what lies ahead. If that’s not cool, we don’t know what is.
