Access to Capital

Innovate Washington believes in the power of innovation. But we also know that innovation rarely comes to fruition without the proper funding.

We help technology entrepreneurs and startup companies overcome the funding gap so that technologies developed in Washington can reach their potential, disrupt markets, and create jobs. Through introductions made to regional investment groups, loans from the Technology Growth Fund (TGF), awards through the Energy Innovation Fund, or research grants from the federal SBIR/STTR program, we help ensure technology startups have the financial backing to succeed.
