To Nurture Entrepreneurs and Build High-Growth Companies in Oklahoma.

We work directly with entrepreneurs, researchers and companies to help them develop their technolo-

gies, launch and grow new businesses and access needed capital. We do that through our team of venture advisors who bring a depth of knowledge and experience to clients that provide them with the tools

to successfully launch a company and navigate the treacherous early stages of the business life cycle. We provide access to capital through nearly $40 million of investment capital under our management. And

we actively engage in entrepreneurial development through initiatives such as our Entrepreneur-inResidence workshops and Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup Business Plan competition.

Busy entrepreneurs tell us that our model works for them because we not only provide high quality

resources – making it easier to access the right information, expertise and investment at the right time.

Selected to manage $13.1M in funding from the U.S. Treasury through the State Small Business Credit Initiative

i2E’s commitment to transparency in our operations, along with demonstrated evidence of strong corporate governance and management were recognized in October 2010 when we received the Certificate of Excellence by the national Standards for Excellence Institute.

The certification reflects fundamental values of honesty, integrity, fairness, respect, trust, responsibility

and accountability that we show in our everyday operations. i2E’s programs and services, management, fundraising and financial practices were examined in-depth before the certification was awarded. i2E was one of the first organizations to be certified under the national Standards accreditation program that began in 2006 and only the second non-profit in Oklahoma to achieve the certification.

We’re proud of the recognition that our efforts have received, as well of the results that are demonstrated on these pages in new jobs, investments dollars and increased wealth for all of Oklahoma.

Tulsa’s Word Industries Fabrication, LLC

produces fabricated pipe, metering and other products for the nation’s energy industry. Founded in 2011 by long-time manufacturing veteran Tom Word, the company’s products help producers bring oil and gas out of the ground and keep it flowing to U.S. consumers.

For the company’s 65 employees, there is a sense of urgency and mission to meet high demand for oil field equipment that translates into more U.S. energy production and less dependence on foreign sources.

“Our employees have a certain pride and swagger that they are helping America declare its energy independence,” Word said. “You might not think that welders and pipefitters would see their role in global energy markets, but they do.”

Its production techniques and on-time delivery of critical oilfield equipment differentiates Word from other manufacturers that can’t meet industry demands of time and quality. “Until the infrastructure catches up, many wells will remain capped,” Word said. “(Producers) only wish we could deliver more and have greater capacity.”

Among various products the company makes at its 40,000 square foot manufacturing location in north Tulsa is a patent-pending pipe flange called the Talon Flange that reduces vibration in oilfield equipment and results in less downtime for maintenance. It also owns patents for a safety skid and a pipe gripper that add efficiency to its operations.

Tom Word turned to i2E to position the company for funding that will allow expansion of its production capacity.

“i2E has been tremendous, they have asked tough questions that make me stop and say, ‘how do they know that when they’ve never fabricated a pipe in their life?’

We are fortunate enough to have such highly experienced and educated resources to seek direction from.”

EVERY DAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY

Out on the manufacturing floor, the company’s skilled workers have seized the mission and adopted a slogan that declares “we’re proud of our opportunity to rid the USA of the dependence on foreign oil.”

Look into the future, say, 40 years from now

and what do you see? Go ahead, squint if you have to. If you see yourself as an older Oklahoman still living independently in your own home, you are no different from your peers.

An overwhelming 9 out of 10 individuals over the age of 50 say they want to “age in place,” which means they don’t see themselves in an assisted living center or nursing home.

A PLAN IN PLACE

The challenge, of course, will be to continue living independently when status or situations change and long term care services are needed. That’s where a new Tulsa-based company founded by a veteran of the long term care industry steps in.

EmpowrNet is a web-based concierge-like business that connects aging people and their families, long term care insurance carriers and service providers, ensuring their dayto-day needs are met while still living at home.

How will it work? EmpowrNet founder Deborah Karns describes a scenario where a husband dies, leaving his elderly wife as a widow.

With the EmpowrNet application, the widow or her family could notify the insurance provider through a web portal that her husband has died. This would immediately trigger an assessment of her situation and calls to necessary inhome service providers.

Without home maintenance, health care or even housekeeping services brought to her by EmpowrNet, the new widow might otherwise be forced to move into a nursing facility right away. “If the insurer can service the widow at home even for three months, that’s a savings to them,” Karns said.

Karns said with even a 5-10 percent reduction in use of nursing home care, cost savings to the long term care industry would be $750-$1.5 billion annually.

A serial entrepreneur who had a successful career within the long term care industry, Karns sought assistance from i2E with building EmpowrNet because of past experience she had with i2E.

“I needed a lot of coaching, a lot of information and a lot of advice. That’s what I’ve been getting here.”

Bottom line for aging consumers is that EmpowrNet will reduce costs, improve long term care and allow more people to continue living independently longer throughout their lives.

IDEFI MUSIC

HI-DEFIANCE idefi music flourished in 2012. Dozens of musicians and bands began to upload and sell music off of their unique music website. They were named Innovator of the Year winner by the Journal Record. Brady Deaton took his story to the SXSW music, film and interactive software conference in Texas. And it was named one of the participants in the inaugural Venture Spur program.

an online platform where musicians could upload and sell their music. idefi music has no upfront investment in the bands and begins providing more traditional record label services as sales grow. The innovative approach to the music business benefits musicians by allowing them to control the music sold directly to fans.

Deaton dreams big. A decade before founding idefi music, he built a recording studio in his Tulsa home. That dream became more of a nightmare when the first band he signed and invested thousands of dollars in suddenly disbanded.

A decade later, the dream still burned in Deaton, so he created idefi music as

“The music industry is changing, but one thing remains constant,” Deaton says. “Millions of artists worldwide dream of the day they get one shot, that one chance to show the world. They hope for a day they can defy what others thought they could do and defy the norm.”

“When I first showed up at i2E, all I had was an idea and a dream, i2E helped me develop my dream into a viable business. It has not always been easy, but they ask the hard questions while giving guidance and support.”

idefimusic.com defies the traditional music model. It’s risk free to both bands and idefi music. And it connects musicians and fans anywhere the world.

Brady Deaton’s dream is alive in idefi music.

COLLEGE INFLUENCE

Millions of high school students graduate each year

with a dream of higher education, but they are unsure of how to make it a reality. The college application process is daunting. They don’t know how they will pay or what financial aid is available.

Tulsa entrepreneur William Tisdale watched the scenario play out in his own home. His two oldest children graduated from a public high school with good grades but with little knowledge of the college application process.

Tisdale was inspired to create a Tulsa-based company called College Influence, which better prepares high school students and parents for the college application process.

College Influence has devised an innovative Web-based interactive tool that assists high school students in the college selection and application process.

The College Influence proprietary technology collects important data that indicates a student’s ability, aptitude, readiness and likelihood of attending college or other post secondary school. The tool also is valuable for school counselors in that it provides data that will allow them to quickly identify and act up on opportunities, and help students reach their desired destination.

With a friendly, social media-like online environment, College Influence helps students gain a better understanding of their academic strengths and weaknesses, heightened awareness of financial aid and scholarship opportunities, and improve their communication with targeted colleges.

Counselors and parents can also easily track the status of their students, be proactive and avoid missing important application deadlines. Likewise, Colleges win as they can more easily target prospective students who fit their profile.

Tisdale turned to i2E early on to help him develop his business plan and with strategic planning.

“The relationship with i2E has been invaluable. Their expertise definitely steered us away from many common mistakes new businesses often make. They have also provided many networking opportunities where we have made connections with development resources.”

TRACKING OUR FUTURE 8

With a website already established, College Influence is reaching out to its target market of 17 million U.S. high school students and their parents, high schools, school districts and college campuses across the nation.

College Influence will ensure that prospective college students have the tools available to complete the application process and turn their college dreams into reality.

ADROIT SURGICAL

It happens on the battlefield. Or in the streets

CLEARING THE WAY

of a neighborhood. Someone is wounded by gunfire or injured in an auto accident, and medics or emergency medical personnel need to quickly clear their airway so they can breathe.

These are often life-and-death situations that require medical professionals to place a tube down the throat of the injured person in a process called intubation. Intubation allows air to reach the lungs, but it requires passing a tube between the vocal cords without causing more harm to the patient. In an emergency situation, this can be hard to do.

Doctors in a hospital setting have the advantage of using a device called an indirect laryngoscope that provides access to the throat with views through a video screen. It is expensive and not readily portable.

Outside of the hospital, medical personnel rely on standard intubating laryngoscopes that often require numerous intubation attempts because of poor lighting or fluids that block a clear view of throat. Sometimes it is unsuccessful.

Oklahoma City physician Nilesh R. Vasan, M.D., has created a self-contained, disposable, light weight, self-powered laryngoscope that replicates the set-up of an operating room but portable so emergency personnel can take it anywhere.

“The key to this product is how simple and intuitive it is to use,” Dr. Vasan said. “Patent pending modifications have been introduced to improve the illumination of the device so even personnel outside the hospital such as on a battlefield, for example, will have the best chance of securing the airway quickly.”

Adroit Surgical was founded as a medical device company to develop the airway technology. Dr. Vasan turned to i2E for assistance in developing his business and very quickly prototypes have been developed.

“i2E has been instrumental in taking my idea and patent application to the next level in a very short time.”

Dr. Vasan envisions the portable laryngoscope eventually being routinely used by health care providers both in hospital settings and in the field after it obtains Food and Drug Administration approval.

“Ultimately, the health care provider may have only seconds to save someone or avoid further complications, and this device satisfies those goals,” Dr. Vasan said.

Whether on the battlefield or in the streets of a city, the Adroit Surgical device will help medical personnel save lives when seconds count.

The menu of i2E Venture Advisory services that Oklahoma entrepreneurs access to grow their businesses continued to expand in fiscal 2012 when OSCR and our new Chief Financial Officer-in-Residence came on board.

OSCR is an acronym for the Oklahoma SBIR Collaborative Resource, which is an innovative new program designed to assist entrepreneurs in making successful applications for federal funding through the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs. i2E’s Rick Rainey is co-director of the OSCR program, along with Steven Martinez from the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology. OSCR’s goal is to increase both the number of SBIR applicants from Oklahoma and the number of applicants that successfully compete for Phase 1 and Phase 2 SBIR awards. i2E clients gain valuable perspective on the financial future of their company from Sonja Wilson, our new CFO-in-Residence. Sonja assists Oklahoma entrepreneurs with financial modeling and creating a proper financial structure within their new businesses. She provided unique financial modeling services to 12 client companies in fiscal 2012, helping them create realistic future revenue projections and develop the financial structure to support operations. i2E’s Sales Executive-in-Residence also provided critical market development and sales services to 10 startup businesses throughout the year.

Our Entrepreneur-in-Residence program continued to provide assistance and education to Oklahoma entrepreneurs in group settings through popular EinR workshops throughout the year as well as one-on-one mentoring sessions. Workshops were devoted to such topics as Valuing Emerging High Growth Companies and Due Diligence.

The Executives-in-Residence and Entrepreneur-in-Residence programs, as well as an expanded i2E Fellows program, all were developed as part of the OKC Technology Business Launch Initiative, which is a three-year pilot business development program to offer enhanced business growth services to technology-based start-up companies and entrepreneurs with high-growth potential.

The bottom line is that i2E has now provided business advisory services to more than 500 high-growth ventures since 1998.

In the real world, ideas don’t make it far without input from industry experts. Each team sat down with industry experts. There were no presentations, no handouts, no guests, just the students and the experts. The winning category teams were chosen based on the knowledge of their business and competitive advantages, how well they articulated the business model and how the business makes money and the competency across the team.

As a learning experience for Oklahoma college students, the reach of the Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup extends far beyond the classroom. Students are introduced to the real world opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs as they conduct market research, formulate financial projections and write business plans.

Then they pitch them to a panel of potential investors.

Students brought expertise from academic areas such as finance, engineering, marketing and accounting as they turned innovative ideas into legitimate concepts. New and exciting business opportunities emerged this year, including a patented way to enhance the productions of methane to produce a clean source of natural gas, a unique fire-suppression technology, calcium supplements totally free of heavy metals and a device that allows speakers to roam a classroom or auditorium while wirelessly interacting with the audience.

THE FELLOWSHIPS More than 50 Oklahoma college students applied for the

summer 2012 i2E Fellows program, drawn by the promise of a hands-on, real world experience with an Oklahoma entrepreneur. No theory, case studies or hypothetical examples included. Seven were selected for 10-week Fellowships at i2E or Oklahoma City area companies, earning a collective $52,575. In return, i2E and the startup companies gained employees who tackled meaningful assignments that both advanced the companies and provided a taste of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs.

Over the 4-year history of the program, 28 students from campuses across Oklahoma have served i2E Fellowships, earning $163,625 along the way.

Some have gone on to work full- or part-time for the host companies, while

Rupesh Agrawal MBA student Oklahoma State University Company: Precision Health Technologies Project: Rupesh built a management system that allows Precision Healthcare Group to measure “in real time” financial results against forecasted results and make modifications to financial modeling.

Carol Curtis Post-doctorial Fellow Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) Company: i2E and OMRF Project: Carol worked with i2E’s Venture Advisory staff and the OMRF Office of Tech Transfer evaluating new technologies for commercialization.

Corey Gingrich MBA student University of Oklahoma Company: Altheus Therapeutics Governor’s Cup Team: Kemmx Corp.

Project: Corey supported Altheus Therapeutics in the evaluation of licensing and partnership opportunities within the specialty pharmaceuticals industry.

18

others have taken the experience gained through the Fellowship to employment at other companies or on to graduate programs for advanced degrees.

We hope they all eventually pursue entrepreneurship in Oklahoma as a career choice, fulfilling our mission of growing companies and creating wealth for the state by developing the next generation of entrepreneurial talent to lead startup companies to successful futures.

The program is sponsored by the Greater Oklahoma Chamber, the city of Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, the Oklahoma Business Roundtable, the Presbyterian Health Foundation and the federal Economic Development Administration.

i2E’s ability to connect with Oklahoma entrepreneurs, thought leaders and

people near and far continued to expand in fiscal 2012 with greater use of digital and social media. The number of followers of our Twitter feed almost doubled to 462 by year’s end. And our Governor’s Cup Facebook page grew in a similar manner.

We guided our Twitter followers to our website with direct links to the 119 blog posts written by i2E team members during the year, as well as numerous articles published in Oklahoma media about our clients or programs.

We used Facebook to promote every step along the way in the Governor’s Cup competition, posting photo albums and even breaking news from the Awards Dinner when the winning teams were announced. By the end of the year 552 Facebook users had “liked” our page. We also promoted our clients with video interviews shot on location that highlighted Oklahoma entrepreneurs and the exciting products they are developing. We shot, edited and posted 42 video interviews during the year.

Networking Events

Our Tech-E-News also was used to connect with our stakeholders, with 10 electronic newsletters published during the year along with 21 “e-blasts” with breaking news that were emailed out.

Video Blogs

We also published three editions of our i&E magazine during fiscal 2012, highlighting up-andcoming client companies, i2E partners and programs, and conducted 25 networking events at which we connected with hundreds of Oklahomans face to face.

Of course, we didn’t ignore traditional media venues in 2012. Oklahoma newspapers published 50 articles about i2E clients, and our Innovation & Entrepreneur’s column appeared weekly in The Oklahoman, which is the state’s largest daily newspaper.

As the world tunes in more and more to digital media to connect with news sources and each other, i2E will be there to tell the story of Oklahoma entrepreneurs and our innovative programs.

i2E’s arsenal of investment capital grew substantially in fiscal 2012 when we teamed with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to create the $13.1 million Accelerate Oklahoma! initiative with funding provided by the U.S. Treasury Department’s State Small Business Credit Initiative.

With the federal dollars, three investment funds were created that target businesses at any stage of their life cycle, from concept to seed to start-up to growth. We now manage the StartOK Accelerator Fund, the GrowOK Fund and the OK Angel Sidecar Fund, all of which are part of the Accelerate Oklahoma! program. The new funds complement our state appropriated capital sources, the OCAST Technology Business Finance Program and Oklahoma Seed Capital Fund, which have provided critical concept financing and seed stage funding to 113 Oklahoma startups since 1998.

Capital raised from angel investors - more than doubled to 8% while capital raised from VC investors fell 66% to 19%

OK Angel Side Car Fund

DermaMedics is a pharmaceutical skin care company specializing in the development of novel topical, non-steroidal, non-prescription therapeutics that effectively treats inflammatory skin problems. The products are specifically designed to be sold exclusively by physicians and/or other medical professionals such as medical spas, pharmacies and oncology related facilities.

Structured as an unsecured loan with a payback provision, the TBFP has funded over $10.3 million in investments and generated more than $4.5 million in repayments. Those repayments provided 44 percent of capital available for new investments in succeeding generations of entrepreneurs with new ideas. This is the equivalent of providing proofof-concept funding for 44 Oklahoma start-up companies.

Over its history, TBFP funding has helped companies subsequently raise more than $268 million in private capital, creating a leverage ratio of 33:1 for the state’s investment.

We also manage the Oklahoma SeedStep Angels group composed of successful Oklahomans who often act as private co-investors to the state- and federally-appropriated investment funds.

i2E’s portfolio attracts investment to the region with more than $770 million in funding.

Approximately $489 million of this has been in private investment from venture capital, angels and strategic investors.

Since 1999, the OCAST Technology Business Finance Program has provided a timely answer to a dilemma facing many Oklahoma entrepreneurs: where do they turn for critical capital to build a prototype and prove their concept. In increments of $100,000 to $150,000, the i2E managed fund has provided proof-of-concept capital to 108 companies since its inception.

Acting as an accelerator/incubator specifically for pharmaceutical and biotechnologies discovered in or transferred into Oklahoma, ABP will provide the core management (including raising and managing investment capital) components needed to develop these discoveries locally.

Structured as an unsecured loan with a payback provision, the TBFP has funded over $10.3 million in investments and generated more than $4.5 million in repayments. Those repayments provided 44 percent of capital available for new investments in succeeding generations of entrepreneurs with new ideas. This is the equivalent of providing proofof-concept funding for 44 Oklahoma start-up companies.

Over its history, TBFP funding has helped companies subsequently raise more than $268 million in private capital, creating a leverage ratio of 33:1 for the state’s investment.

We also manage the Oklahoma SeedStep Angels group composed of successful Oklahomans who often act as private co-investors to the state- and federally-appropriated investment funds.

i2E’s portfolio attracts investment to the region with more than $770 million in funding.

Approximately $489 million of this has been in private investment from venture capital, angels and strategic investors.

Since 1999, the OCAST Technology Business Finance Program has provided a timely answer to a dilemma facing many Oklahoma entrepreneurs: where do they turn for critical capital to build a prototype and prove their concept. In increments of $100,000 to $150,000, the i2E managed fund has provided proof-of-concept capital to 108 companies since its inception.

SEEDST EP ANGELS The SeedStep Angels group continued its remarkable story of growth and expansion in fiscal 2012, a year in which a new chapter was launched in Ardmore, along with increased capital investment in Oklahoma startups, stronger syndication efforts with regional Angel networks and the introduction of best practices to the investment group.

The Ardmore chapter debuted in January with six founding members, joining already established Oklahoma City and Tulsa groups and increasing the network’s total statewide membership to 30. The Ardmore angels heard their first investor pitches in May.

Angel investment grew during the

year, as well, when individual SeedStep Angels invested $573,000 in seven

companies, a 57 percent increase over the previous year.

Founded in 2009, the SeedStep Angels also continued to build relationships with regional Angel networks. Syndicated deals from angel groups in Kansas, Missouri and Texas, were presented at SeedStep Angel screening meetings, and resulted in one investment from an Oklahoma Angel.

The group also worked to promote best practices in Angel investing.

In March, John May, a nationally recognized Angel investor and founder of several Angel groups in the Washington, D.C., area, gave a Power of Angel Investing Seminar on due diligence in Oklahoma City. Trish Brasted, founder of the Midwest Venture Alliance in Wichita, KS also sat on a panel for the seminar. The group also held events with Rob Adams (Texas Venture Labs) revolving around the subject of market validation and Rob Wiltbank (Willamette University) regarding revenue capital.
