SenesTech Receives 2015 Tibbetts Award

In 2015, SenesTech was one of 23 recipients of the Tibbetts Award. The award is given out each year by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to exemplary organizations, business, and individuals that have participated in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
