Four NYC startup founders pitch their companies: Nora LTI wants to deploy globally, Lime Alert aims to detect multiple diseases from a single tick, and Takenos and Reaction Dynamics plan their first spaceflights. Each explains how a $1 million investment would fuel their growth.

Good morning. I'm Pierangelo Raiola, the CEO and co-founder of Nora LTI.
I'm Erin DeWicky, and I'm the CEO of Lime Alert. I'm Brenda Ong, and I'm the COO of Lime Alert.
I'm Lucas Posada. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Takenos. My name is Jesse Michaelberg, and we at Reaction Dynamics are delivering critical space assets.
What would a million-dollar investment mean?
Nothing, because we raised it.
Will be just a testament to our vision, and we can enable all of you to use our product. Globally.
A million dollars would help us to test our product-market fit. And further, would allow us to test for multiple diseases from a single tick.
I'm very proud to be a profitable company. The thing is that in order to grow, you have to invest. It would enable us to achieve our first spaceflight.
I want to get the money!
