If GPS goes dark, Mesa Quantum has a backup plan

J2 Ventures and SOSV invested in Mesa Quantum, a startup working on GPS alternatives.

Flight delays in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Truckers led down unsafe routes in Richmond, Vermont. And power grid disruptions throughout Ukraine. These troubles stem from a global communication system highly reliant on GPS satellites and the signals they transmit for essential functions.

To ensure that U.S. infrastructure won't fall apart — even if the nation's GPS satellites are disrupted by weather, warfare or age — a startup in Boulder, Colorado called Mesa Quantum is developing chip-sized alternative technology.
