Outreach angles
- -Olivia Leng specialised in materials science chemistry at the University of Toronto, then paused her studies about a year ago to found Meissner after her first startup, tattoo-visualisation company InkTank, couldn't find a paying market.
- -Leng has assembled a cap table of veteran Canadian tech investors she says she has 'looked up to for many years,' including backers of quantum computer maker Xanadu.
- -Meissner's four-person team plans to test its top superconducting material candidates this month at the University of Waterloo's Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility, using the new pre-seed capital.
