The ITAC Accelerator coaches qualified companies in SBIR/STTR partnerships, strategy, proposal creation, application budget structure, and Phase 1 project management to encourage further awards.
NYC Seed (startup money for high-growth potential tech firms)
The NYC Seed fund was created through a partnership of the New York City Investment Fund, The New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation, PolyTechnic University and ITAC to support seed-stage infotech companies in New York City. The fund will help small, entrepreneurial teams to move from an idea to a product and will help high growth potential companies move into their next stage of development and open new markets.
