Incubator Program
The VelocityTX Incubator program is a two to five-year program designed to help early-stage bioscience companies scale by providing long-term support and the necessary resources they need to evolve and grow into a mature business. Within the incubator, clients receive mentoring, help with getting funding, guidance on business plan development, prototype development support, and exposure to the bioscience and healthcare ecosystem. The primary goal of the incubator program is to drive economic growth by producing successful, financially viable, and sustainable companies.
Incubator clients have access to a world-class Innovation Center with 17,000 square feet of office and coworking space, meeting rooms, and other amenities. Incubator clients are immersed into a collaborative space surrounded by a like-minded community of people who want to change the world– innovators, doers, thinkers, connectors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. VelocityTX will tap into its extended network of experts, founders, and investors to help the incubator clients scale their operations and achieve significant growth.
