Sankeetha Selvarajah, Biz to Company

Startup lawyer & business advisor to tech, retail, and cannabis companies in MA & NY. We are an educational resource company aimed at making business owners into CEOs in charge of proftable companies. As a startup attorney for 11 years, and an entrepreneur herself, Sankeetha will shed light on how eCommerce, tech, and retail can launch on a shoestring budget and what to splurge on.


Arun Seelam, Boson Motors 

Boson Motors makes Smart electric vehicles powertrains for agriculture customers in the USA. Farmers and agribusinesses are looking to cut oil usage for their utility vehicles. OEM's who serve farm utility vehicle needs are looking for an affordable and durable powertrain. The EV’s available on the market are either too expensive for farm use or not durable.

Our unique software platform helps deploy custom farm automation apps Ex: "Follow me," "Row Crop Monitoring", etc. Our programmable powertrain is purposely designed for low power (<50hp) usage. We serve dairy farms and ranches through OEM’s. Our powertrains in utility vehicles enable automation of farm and diary routine tasks. We are the only company providing a vertically integrated solution that is affordable and easy to deploy
