“Most innovative company in virginia”
We are proud to announce that Cedarware partner, Luminoah Inc., has won the Virginia Startup World Cup and will advance to the global Startup World Cup finals in San Francisco this October.
The Virginia Startup World Cup, organized by the venture capitalist firm Pegasus Tech Ventures and local nonprofit Innovate Hampton Roads, saw 10 leading Virginia startups out of an initial pool of 100 gather to pitch the problem their company is trying to address, their company’s solution, and the momentum they’ve received. Luminoah was founded in 2020 with the goal of transforming chronic disease care through personalized enteral nutrition delivery. This goal is realized via a small, portable enteral pump that communicates with smartphones to deliver and track nutritional intake.
Luminoah is targeting FDA clearance in early 2026 and has plans to expand globally.
Cedarware is proud to support Luminoah through software, hardware, and manufacturing development to transform the world of chronic disease care and wishes them many congratulations in their continued success.
