Bryce Clerk, 28

Bryce Clerk, an engineer who works with large power generators, was blown away in 2015 when he saw the Matterport camera at a tech conference in San Francisco.

The $4,500 camera uses 3-D technology to capture unique home walkthroughs and dollhouse views that show measurements and dimensions of furniture and appliances. An engineer with Acensium, Clerk was so impressed with the technology he bought the equipment to start a Matterport-based side business in the Fort Myers and Naples markets. That business, 3D Interspace Solutions, has grown rapidly — surprising Clerk, who planned to tinker with it on nights and weekends. Sales are up at least 500% year over year through August.
