Loft1 develops software that digitizes whiteboard and marker content into editable, searchable notes. The company is based in Fredericton and aims to ship a high-demand mobile solution for broader commercial use. Loft1 plans to announce access to an initial product at the end of the month and expects a version for early users within two months.
