“Ecobot is a great example of Cofounders Capital’s Fund II strategy to help entrepreneurs execute on their plan,” said Tim McLoughlin, Partner at Cofounders Capital and Ecobot board member. “We know Ecobot better than any investor, and we know it is a great opportunity. They have gotten a tremendous response from the market, have refined their model, and are ready to scale. We want them to be able to do that as quickly as possible.”

Ecobot eliminates complexity and enables greater scientific accuracy. “One of our customers recently called to tell us that they’re saving 2.5 hours per person, per day in the field,” said Lee Lance, Ecobot CEO. “Calculations and report generation are automated, so what used to take a week of office work to finalize a project is now down to about an hour. The app allows customers to recapture nearly 60% of their time over the course of a project – double our original estimate.”

Opera for Android 55 Offers New Night Mode

Now, Opera not only lets you dim the browser, it also turns white web pages dark – even if they aren’t designed that way. You can also now adjust the color temperature of your browser manually. With version 55 of its Android browser, Opera is continuing to improve the visual experience by introducing a completely redesigned night mode which reduces the light pollution caused by the phone to the bare minimum.

Opera for Android has had long standing support for night mode, enabling users to darken their browser beyond the limits of the device’s UI. With version 55, this feature has been redesigned from scratch. It now allows everyone to adjust the color temperature setting to minimize the amount of blue light emitted by the device, as well as go super-dark, with a new array of settings.

“The winter months in Scandinavia tend to get really dark. With only a few hours of sunlight each day, we noticed that most of today’s devices’ automatic brightness settings cannot go dark enough, often disturbing everyone’s circadian rhythms. We decided to fix this issue with our browser. This version of Opera allows you to suppress blue light and go super dark,” said Stefan Stjernelund, Product Manager of Opera for Android.
