TECH Fort Worth: Business & Technology Incubator

August 25, 2008

I stumbled across the TECH Fort Worth website early last week when doing some research for this blog, somewhat surprised to see that something of this nature existed in Fort Worth.

What is TECH Fort Worth? From their website:

What we do:

We identify technologies with high potential for success in the marketplace, match resources of the community with the passion of entrepreneurs, and then mentor, coach, and relentlessly push the entrepreneurs toward success.

Our targeted clients:

Companies based on unique and/or proprietary technology, with a high potential for success in the marketplace, and with an entrepreneur who has the potential to take this company through incubation and acceleration.

For a fee…

Depending upon which program an entrepreneur/startup chooses, fees range from $1,000-$5,000. Their website provides quite a bit more information on how their programs work and what resources they have to offer.

My first question upon visiting their website, how can a technology incubator have such an outdated web site design? Putting that aside, it’s hard to tell what value TECH Fort Worth is bringing the clients, and still harder to tell the level of success of their listed clients.

So, in order to learn more about TECH Fort Worth, what all they do and get some info on their client companies, I’m meeting tomorrow with TFW Operations Manager Brent Sorrells.

Some of my questions for Brent:

  • What value is TECH Fort Worth adding to their client companies?
  • Is TFW for-profit or non-profit?
  • How are the ’strategic partners’ involved in TFW?

If you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments and I’ll do my best to get answers.

Hopefully, the tour and information Brent provides can show us what TFW is all about and how it can benefit the startup community.
