10 New Tulsa Startups to Keep an Eye On

October 19, 2017

The number of startup companies in the Tulsa area continues to grow. A big reason for that is access to extensive resources to help founders develop their products faster and smarter.

One of those resources is BetaBlox, a business incubator that prides itself in the ability to accelerate startups' growth and increase their valuations- all in exchange for a little equity. Participants travel from as far as Dallas to participate in Tulsa's program. It's competitive, fast-paced, and turns out some sweet companies. And here's the proof! The following are the latest BetaBlox graduates. We have a feeling this won't be the last time you'll hear about them...

1. Patron's Mobile

Matcha is the one of the most ~tReNdY~ ways to pump antioxidants into your body these days, but a lot of what's on the market, quite frankly, tastes disgusting. Enter Buffalo Matcha. The nitro-infused matcha tea is delicious (trust us, we tried it) and should be on store shelves very soon.
