KTEC PIPELINE Innovators, mentors, advisors and alumni are teamed up for one last official event before graduation. It’s Mentor Madness baby! PIPELINE Conducting Interviews for 2009 Class
|
KTEC PIPELINE is interviewing candidates for the 2009 technology entrepreneur class. PIPELINE seeks entrepreneurs who are prepared to work tenaciously on their venture, whether it is a start-up or an existing business. The program requires attendance at scheduled three-day seminars that occur at least four times during the year - as well as approximately five days of independent work per quarter. Each Innovator will be provided a stipend of $20,000, designed to assist in advancing ventures and providing a source of funds to pursue projects uncovered during the KTEC PIPELINE process. Angel Investors Collaborate on Funding for Innovator's Company
A local group of angel investors has led an effort to raise $1.5 million for PIPELINE Innovator Jan Srack’s company, Matrix. Midwest Venture Alliance was the lead investor on the fundraising project for Matrix, which has invented an electronic measuring system called the Matrix Wand. What's different about this deal is that the investment involved the collaboration of several private-sector angel groups in the state. “It serves as an example - and a model - of what private-sector investor groups across the state can do when there is a promising company or technology that needs the kind of funding that no single investor group can provide on its own,” said Trish Brasted, MVA managing member and chief executive of Wichita Technology Corporation. |
