Connecticut Innovations launches TechStart Fund

By Michelle Lang

Connecticut Innovations, (CI) the state’s quasi-public tech investment and development agency, has formed a $1 million TechStart Fund to support the launch of technology startups in the state.

The Fund is part of CI’s initiative to invest $250 million into Connecticut’s technology-focused economic development.

The Fund includes a 10-week pilot program – complete with mentors, resources and guidance for new entrepreneurs – in which participants are prepped to ultimately pitch a business to investors.

CI invests in Connecticut’s early stage tech companies, technology transfer and research collaborations among industries and universities.
