Testimonial
Hailey Nichols, who received her M.S. in aerospace engineering this summer while launching the startup company, Locus Lock, says:
“The support from The University of Texas at Austin has allowed Locus Lock to pursue commercializing innovative university technology. It has given us the financial means to begin to manufacture our product so we are able to launch it into the market this year. The university’s support has been vital to the early success of this start-up and we are extremely grateful for all the opportunities Locus Lock has been given. We look forward to continuing to work with the university closely as we prepare to introduce our novel technology into the market!”
