Ribbon cutting ceremony

Recently I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the University of Washington C4C New Ventures Facility at Fluke Hall.  It is a business incubator that provides UW start-ups access to lab and office space on the UW campus.  During the ceremony remarks, Linden Rhoads, C4C Vice Provost, accepted UW President, Michael Young's challenge as part of a larger commercialization initiative to double the number of start-ups produced by the UW over the next three years.

The new facility provides space to host up to 25 companies with 11,550 square feet of lab suites and 11,500 square feet of office space.  It provides dedicated space and facilities for translational research and early-stage business development and creates an environment where UW start-ups can work alongside other entrepreneurial teams and solve common business challenges.

At ZINO Society, we look forward to working with the folks at C4C to help support local entrepreneurism and active angel investing.
