Central Florida Innovation Corp
CFIC creates new high
growth companies by licensing technology from local industry and from the
University of Central Florida. CFIC then works with partners to
incorporate the new companies, define their markets, build their infrastructure
and raise investment capital. CFIC also works with promising local
entrepreneurs. CFIC uses a unique and rigorous methodology to help an
entrepreneur enhance their business on a custom set of winning strategies.
This CFIC process takes about half a year to move a promising company from an
interesting premise to an investable compelling story. The Innovation Club is
CFIC's pool of local private investors. These investors meet monthly to
hear from the most promising CFIC clients, after they have successfully complete
CFIC's entrepreneur workshop, "Success Solutions." CFIC also
operates the Emerging Business Network (EBN), a membership-based organization
that provides information about business resources and opportunities in Central
Florida, as well as the annual venture capital conference - Innovation Florida,
and other programs/services. www.cfic.org
