804RVA Tech Meetup: Altron Corp., Uvest Solar, Luhvah

804RVA's Startup Journey (formally Tech Meetup) is a monthly demonstration of local startup companies that were made in RVA and hand selected by our hosts. Get a sneak peek of just released technologies and listen to the successes and failures from a seasoned company or two. We'll have beer on hand, so come join us for some casual conversations and lightweight presentations (each presentation and Q&A is only 10 minutes long).

Luhvah: (http://luhvah.com/) Luhvah is the fun, private and secure app for couples to flirt, chat and express their level of desire for one another in the moment. Originally launched as a proof-of-concept in late 2014, the development team is working through a bundle of new functionality and app enhancements to both increase engagement and provide further value to their users.

Autotalky (http://autotalky.com/): Autotalky is an extension of the standard OBD2 Protocol used by cars in the US manufactured starting 1996. It gives you predictive diagnostics by monitoring of the health of your car’s engine. With the help of your Trusted Mechanic, Autotalky will provide more insight into what is occuring in your car that would help prevent expensive, reactive repairs later on.
