tech startups Accelerating the Region’s Top Tech Startups Building a fully-fledged, financially-stable tech enterprise isn’t easy. Early-stage entrepreneurs often require funding to develop a viable product and gain momentum. Investment alone does not ensure successful outcomes. That’s why we help unlock the potential of earlystage tech startups with both venture capital and the services and connections they need to advance.

Our advisors have helped hundreds of tech founders build scalable businesses by guiding them through the venture capital path. Our process helps founders eliminate errors, reduce risk and increase viability. The Burton D. Morgan Mentoring Program matches tech founders with experienced mentors, who help guide critical decisionmaking in the fast-paced and competitive culture of entrepreneurship. In addition to 1:1 advising, we offer deepdive workshops and accelerator programs to help entrepreneurs avoid pitfalls. We also make connections through networking and

peer-to-peer learning opportunities.
