We believe in open and honest community collaboration.

We believe that innovators and entrepreneurs are vital to economic, civic and cultural prosperity.

We believe that the existing models for developing seed-stage and early-growth stage firms are incongruent with the needs of these innovators.

We believe that innovation occurs at the intersection of business acumen, creative excellence and technological distinction, yet these three parties are rarely at the table together.

We believe that post-recession economics of how we earn, consume, create, share, invest and save will be vastly different than their pre-recession brethren and that this creates a fantastic opportunity for investment.

These are principles that have become part of the foundation of creative and economically healthy communities.
