TechStart Funding Applications Due Feb. 22

TechStart, a program of Connecticut Innovations that provides financing for entrepreneurs, student startups and early-stage technology companies, has grants of up to $25,000 per project available—but the deadline for applications is Wednesday, Feb. 22.  

The TechStart Fund^SM was created to spur technology innovation at its very earliest stage. The fund provides entrepreneurial or student teams with initial capital so they can determine whether a technology concept and business are viable and whether future funding can be obtained to launch a new business.

Teams applying for TechStart funding will need to participate in a 10-week program, during which they will be provided with mentors and various professional resources offering strategic guidance in launching a new business. The initial 10-week pilot program will be held at CTech@Science Park at Yale in New Haven and will begin in March.
