Heliponix is a startup founded in 2016 by Scott Massey and Ivan Ball, who met while working on a NASA-funded project at Purdue University. Their shared curiosity about the absence of a consumer-friendly aeroponic device for homegrown produce led them to develop the unique design for Heliponix™ (formerly Hydro Grow). The company operates in the Agriculture and Waste Solution industries. Starting as a passionate endeavor, the two young engineers constructed initial prototypes from their campus apartment, funded by their earnings from night shifts while juggling full-time studies.
The latest investment of $200.00K in Heliponix came from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation on 02 August 2023. This support has been crucial to the continued development and growth of the company as it strives to make consumer-friendly aeroponic technology accessible.
