Proof of Concept Investment (POCi; Founded 2004)

In 2004, TTO launched a Proof of Concept investment program (POCi) providing early-stage “seed” investments to enable the development and validation of promising CU technologies that are, or will become, the platform for a CU start-up company located in Colorado. The POCiinvestments are intended to address the critical funding gap that often exists between basic research and the reduction to practice of a technology. Since the inception of the POCi program, TTO has invested approximately $2,060,000 in 22 start-up companies. The POCi program is currently inactive.
