Most of the countries and some of the cities around the world have started enforcing wearing face mask and social distancing in public. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technology can play a vital role to enforce these rules and help in flattening the curve. Edgetensor provides state-of-the-art AI technology on low power edge devices that can detect people wearing mask, measure temperature and monitor social distancing. 
Aristos Ventures has compiled and continually updates a listing of venture capital firms, angel groups, accelerators and co-working spaces in Texas. These represent active investors and others but does not include family offices, individual investors or private equity. Aristos Ventures does this in the spirit of good faith and camaraderie. However, we would prefer for early stage technology entrepreneurs to contact Aristos Ventures first to discuss their start-up. For the complete hyperlinked listing, please visit:
