StarNav Recognized as Top Company to Watch in Riverside County for April Innovation Month
Riverside, CA – 3/8/2023 – The Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted a proclamation Tuesday, March 14, declaring April as “Innovation Month.” The Riverside County Office of Economic Development announced the return of Riverside County’s Innovation Month, which has taken place every April, since its launch in 2017, excluding 2020.
Among the companies recognized in a recent meeting in the County Chambers was StarNav LLC.
As a local company working to empower the local community with new job opportunities and economic growth, StarNav has officially become one of the top tech companies in Riverside to follow. Founded in 2020, the company’s staff size has nearly tripled with grants and contracts hitting close to $4MM to date as they close out the first quarter of 2023.
Founder and CEO, Dr. Joshua Morales expressed, “Riverside has always been my home. I grew up here, I went to school here, and now I have a company here. My partners and I are ecstatic about the opportunity to contribute to this long-overlooked region of California and help the Inland Empire recognize the potential for job growth and investment in the technology industry. We hope to continue to help the State recognize worthwhile investments in Riverside. And we are grateful for the support from Riverside County and the County Board of Supervisors.”
The company has expressed their sincere gratitude for being among the companies recognized for innovation and support for entrepreneurs in Riverside. And while public officials see StarNav’s capable future, local companies are also taking note of how best to succeed in a fast pace startup market and will be participating in the April Regional Fast Pitch Event happening in just a few short weeks.
Contestants who participate in a regional fast pitch will showcase their ideas in front of a live audience including judges that are business investors, local elected leaders and successful business owners. Winners of the regional events will advance to the fast pitch finale to be held at the University of California, Riverside’s Arts Block on Thursday, April 27, where the top three contestants will take home cash prizes. StarNav looks forward to participating in this event.
