I hadn't noticed Bridgit Mendler, youthful actress star of Wizards of Waverly Place, Lemonade Mouth, Good Luck Charlie, Undateable, and Nashville, around in recent times.
She's apparently left show business to become the CEO of an aerospace startup company.
Quite a change of direction on the career path.
Bridgit Mendler goes from Disney Channel to CEO as the head of a new start-up company Northwood Space... which just got $6.3M in seed funding: 'Expect the unexpected!'So what does it intend to do?
" 'The vision is a data highway between Earth and space. Space is getting easier along so many different dimensions but still the actual exercise of sending data to and from space is difficult. You have difficulty finding an access point for contacting your satellite,' she said.
The company won't be focused on building rockets of satellites, but instead ground stations, which are described as, 'typically large and often circular antennas that connect to satellites in space.'
