A joint proposal to support inclusive entrepreneurship in the innovation ecosystem by Oak Crest and the Pasadena Small Business Development Center is among the 84 winners of the Growth Accelerator Fund Competition (GAFC) announced by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Our goal is to help underserved entrepreneurs in developing ideas, launching technology startups and applying for non-dilutive funding through SBIR/STTR grants. We do this by pooling our experiences with our existing programs such as PCC Venture Launch and MOST-IP. We are excited about this opportunity to make a difference!
