Our Portfolio
A few words from our start-ups
"As a founder, you need people that understand entrepreneurship and are willing to support the winding road. NEOSVF gets it! Their early support kept us alive, helped us attract other investment, and their line of questioning has helped me advance the business to places I only dreamed imaginable."
- Elijah Stambaugh, CEO of The Learning Egg |
“NEOSVF has been a tremendous asset for us in launching our controls product line. The financial and networking assistance from the Student Venture Fund and other NE Ohio organizations are great resources that should be used by all early stage companies in the area.”
- Julian Lamb, President of Paragon Robotics, LLC |
"Wastebits would like to thank NEOSVF for their investment in our future. The NEOSVF provided us the needed funding to be able to accelerate our growth. Without their help, Wastebits would not be where we are today. While the financial assistance was critical, NEOSVF and the University of Akron Research Foundation have provided valuable resources that have greatly contributed to our success thus far.”
- Dan Collins, Founder and CEO of Wastebits |
