After years of strong feedback on the First Pitch program, CTC formally launched a Venture Development Program early in 2018.

Early indicators reflect strong interest in advancing promising, pre-seed technologies in many sectors, most notably in energy and life sciences.

Expressions of interest have come from all over the state of California, and from public and private labs. In each case, CTC has developed an internal team of experts to assess an early-stage research project with high potential.

Several life sciences opportunities are in later stages of consideration for additional investment. To find out more about the VDP or to get involved, contact us at ventures@californiatechnology.org.
