strategy. They have also connected us with key industry contacts including potential
investors and channel partners, greatly accelerating our time to market.”
Aaron Hammons, CEO, Prodigy
Biosystems
“Cell Drive began as an idea inside a UAH biology lab. With the help of BizTech’s
experienced advisors and business development team we have taken Cell Drive from an
idea to a commercially viable product that can have a positive effect on biological research. BizTech’s invaluable support and mentoring made Prodigy a reality, and BizTech continues
to provide us with experienced mentors, top-notch facilities and market exposure.”
Kevin Butler, CEO, Pi-Proteomics
“BizTech provides supports for its clients so we can focus on running and growing our
business. We do not have to worry about office or meeting space, copiers & faxes or phone
lines. But most importantly, we have access to a network of contacts that help us develop
our business strategy, products and go-to-market plans. The atmosphere at BizTech is great
– we have access to experienced professionals who give advice freely and honestly.”
Sergey Sarkisov, President & CEO, SSS Optical Technologies

businesses. In addition to providing office space, introductions to partners and to
potential investors, BizTech is essentially a school that teaches the ABC’s of business
management to beginning entrepreneurs like me. BizTech’s help is indispensable!”
Drew Gentry, Justin Anthony,

“The guidance, resources and introduction to business partners we have received from
BizTech have been invaluable to us. Their Board and Entrepreneur-in-Residence have a
lot of experience in the Energy field, which has been especially valuable. BizTech has

Eddie Robinson, Founder, Integrity
Engineering. LLC
“BizTech provides affordable office space
and access to support office equipment.
More importantly, BizTech provides
business support training in marketing
and sales, which is critical for technical
services firms like mine.”
Preetha Pulusani CEO, AdeptMedia
“As a BizTech board member, I was well aware of the services that BizTech provides start-ups.
With AdeptMedia, I have experienced first-hand the extraordinary value BizTech provides a
new company. Start-ups need many resources including strategy development, office
infrastructure, legal and financial guidance, access to capital and access to successful
entrepreneurs. BizTech does a great job of providing these resources, which makes a real
difference in a new company's success.”
Greg Brock, former Venture Catalyst & former client
"We have the missing pieces of the puzzle including access to capital investment, proven business experts that serve as mentors, and a very nice office facility with access to conference rooms, the internet, as well as fax and copy machines. There is a lot of risk in starting a business and it’s nice to know that you have a dependable road map to follow.”
Jerome Gabig, CEO, Q-Track
Q-Track graduated from BIzTech in February 2009 after four years in incubation. Our company is pioneering a breakthrough in indoor wireless tracking. With a burn rate of over a million dollars a year, the challenges of running a company while keeping focused on bringing a new technology to market could have been overwhelming. Assistance from BizTech—which came in a multiple of ways— allowed Q-Track to transition from an early stage to a mid-stage technology company. Stated bluntly, the mortality rates for start-up technology companies is 80%. BizTech helped us beat the odds.
Matt Smith, founder & Chief Technocal Officer, Axometrics
“We literally knew nothing about how to access funding, manage distributors, obtain export licenses, or all the things necessary to build a successful company. There are so many layers to overcome and without proper guidance it’s extremely difficult to keep all the balls in the air. We first came to BizTech for its state-of-the-art facility. Here you have access to office space, a receptionist, conference room, central mail room and more. It makes a difference when you are a small company trying to make a big impression.”
Charles Davis, CEO, Axometrics
“Axometrics would not be where it is today without BizTech. BizTech's CEO introduced me
to the Axometric founders and facilitated the development of a relationship, which grew
to the point where they hired me. During the early stages of our development, we used
Biztech’s facility which helped us present a professional image and provided flexible
space when we were growing rapidly. Using BizTech’s facilities was a huge asset as we
didn’t have to search for office space or spend time maintaining equipment. This helped
us focus on developing products, selling customers and growing the business.”
Genesis 21, El Paso, Texas
"On a review of over 100 incubators throughout the country, from our analysis BizTech was clearly one of the best models...an outstanding community-based model of economic development."
Daniel de Grandpre, dealnews.com (2002 BizTech Graduate):
"BizTech is about people. We've met the right people -- partners, investors, service providers – and developed relationships we will carry throughout the life of the company."
