About Eric Viana
I thrive on the excitement of working with innovative startup companies that push boundaries and make a real impact. Currently at RDIG, I help startups maximize their cash flow by guiding them through the maze of federal and state tax incentives related to research and development. It is rewarding to serve an underserved community and leverage software to enhance the customer experience.In my previous role as Director at Atlas Rd. I was fortunate to assist founders in raising capital from both institutional and retail investors. Many of the conversations I had with entrepreneurs deepened my connection to the startup ecosystem.Before that, I was a founding team member of Graze Robotics, a startup focused on developing autonomous robotics for commercial landscaping. We addressed challenges like labor shortages while promoting sustainability with our zero-emissions technology. It was inspiring to contribute to a project that had a direct impact on climate and sustainability.
