XVI: Startup Acceleration—Behind the Scenes, with Purillume

The second episode in our three-part series featuring startups that just graduated from RAP—the RIoT Accelerator Program. This episode features Purillume, a startup focused on smart lighting for better health. CEO Neeraj Lal shares what it was really like participating in a 12-week high-touch startup accelerator. Join us behind the scenes of RIoT Labs in the RIoT Accelerator Program. Purillume is a new kind of lighting company. One that's committed to moving beyond the limitations of CFL and LED bulbs to deliver the full potential of LED lighting. They didn’t set out to create a new light bulb. They set out to create a new way to experience light. Their first product, the Orchid LED table lamp is the result of thousands of hours of R&D and is in production—and they're just getting started.
