STARTech Early Ventures was
founded in 1997 as a business incubator to focus on developing technology-based
start-up and entrepreneurial activity in the Telecom Corridor(c) in Richardson, Texas. In 1998, STARTech formed a
seed-stage investment fund to compliment its methodology for company creation
and growth. Since its inception, STARTech has created strong networks of
executives, entrepreneurs, co-investors, university and private researchers and
professionals which provide access to innovative technologies. STARTech Fund I ($4 million)
and Fund II ($32 million) focused almost exclusively on investments in Texas.
