The University of Arizona Center for Innovation Welcomes New Cohort of Startups as Part of the Pilot Program with Arizona FORGE
Three startups will advance their ventures through a new pilot program developed by the University of Arizona Center for Innovation (UACI) and Arizona FORGE to create support services for a seamless startup continuum. The first cohort participating in the pilot program includes startups Metfora, Obánj and Dive. The three companies will advance to the UACI, having just completed the Arizona FORGE Advanced Entrepreneur Program (AEP), an eight-week program that provides early-stage entrepreneurs with accelerated education about general startup venture concepts and the tools needed to initiate a startup. UACI works with multi-stage startups, immersing them with support centered around a 27-point roadmap, and is the next sequential step where people, programming and places help entrepreneurs launch their startup, grow and scale.
