Pioneers of emerging technologies and sciences often toil alone against staggering odds. Yet their potential value to us all is immeasurable. At First Flight Venture Center, we help these innovators improve their ability to get to market byproviding an environment that: stimulates collaboration, surrounds them with support resources and introduces them to a network of mentors and corporate partners. Creating value out of potential.

COLLABORATION

Because all tenants pass through the same vetting process there is high likelihood of shared interest.

NETWORKING

Through the 20+ years of operations we’ve built a strong network of partners and mentors across multiple disciplines.

SUPPORT RESOURCES

Our leadership team of former entrepreneurs and business leaders have developed on-site support services that improve business outcomes.
