In June 2020, RoadPrintz was matched through XOR with Valvoline’s mergers and acquisitions manager, Josh Frederick.  RoadPrintz’s mission is to increase the safety of all road users through making effective visual street markings more affordable and accessible. The startup company is a spinout from Case Western University with Mike Allan, senior licensing manager at Case Western University, managing their technology portfolio.  

“After talking with the founders and learning more about the unmet needs addressed by RoadPrintz, I believe they have identified a very viable business opportunity. I’m looking forward to working with Sam and Wyatt, and I hope I can in some small way aid them in securing funding for this venture.”
