The Startup Fund will enhance its portfolio management capacity and deliver customized technical assistance to over 100 women- and minority-owned technology entrepreneurs to help them progress from pre-seed funding to venture capital rounds and exits. It will also leverage regional partnerships to drive more investment to high-growth, women- and minority-owned technology businesses in the region. This funding advances the BUILD TO SCALE program's goals of strengthening technology-based economic development ecosystems to support entrepreneurial ventures that create high-skilled jobs.
