TTO Announces Fall 2005 Proof of Concept (POC) Investment Round

August 11, 2005

The University of Colorado's Technology Transfer Office (TTO) announces the fall 2005 round of its new funding program to move ideas from the lab to the marketplace. The Proof of Concept (POC) program will make early stage investments ranging from $50,000 - $100,000 in promising technologies that are currently, or could become, the basis for a start-up company. The seed funding is provided under an unsecured convertible promissory note, and is intended to support the research and development needed to establish the commercial viability of the technology. A CU faculty member, or an entrepreneur working with a CU faculty member, must submit proposals by October 7, 2005.
