Startup Texas provides intensive preparation for startups through UTRGV’s AdvanceUp curriculum and secured seed funding. The program aims to tackle the challenge of limited access to capital by providing a comprehensive support system, which includes mentoring, workshops, and pitch practices. This approach ensures that companies receive funding and acquire the necessary skills for scalable success.
Embedded within the eBridge Center, Startup Texas offers three tracks: Quality of Life Ventures, Emerging Industries, and the SBIR/STTR Innovation Program. This structure caters to diverse startup needs, demonstrating the program’s adaptability and inclusivity.
In 2023, Startup Texas partnered with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station to support projects seeking SBIR/STTR research funding. This collaboration enhances opportunities for innovative projects, reinforcing the program’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurs across various industries.
