CincyTech’s mission is to help launch and grow new technology ventures in the information technology, biosciences and advanced manufacturing sectors.

CincyTech supports entrepreneurs who are building high growth technology companies in the Southwest Ohio region. Our help is delivered through a four phase process that helps identify high growth opportunities, assists entrepreneurs in the development of high growth plans and connect entrepreneurs with a network of resources -- financial, technical, marketing, legal and consulting.

Entrepreneurs fill out an application which describes their business opportunity in the GETTING STARTED phase. Upon acceptance to the CincyTech process, the Executives-in-Residence and Investment Associates begin to work with the entrepreneur to build and refine the business plan in the ADVISE stage.

If the CincyTech team believes that the business plan and management team can deliver a high growth opportunity, the team begins working with entrepreneur to build the business case for investment in the ACCELERATE phase. During this phase, the entrepreneur will build an investment proposal and present it to CincyTech's investment committee as well as other sources of capital, such as angel investors or venture validation funds.

Upon approval of CincyTech's investment committee, the deal is signed and CincyTech EIRs and the Investment Development Director continue to work with the entrepreneur to achieve their high growth plan and begin preparing for follow-on funding in the CAPITALIZE phase.
