A year after Ebola crisis

It has been a year since the Ebola crisis hit Dallas and thrust little-known Fort Worth startup E-Mist Innovations into the national spotlight.

The company, launched with help from the Tech Fort Worth business incubator, had just come to market with a new electrostatically charged sprayer gun to disinfect surfaces and was in the right place at the right time. Images of the company’s product being used at the apartment of Ebola victim Thomas Duncan made national news, and sales took off.
