ACCESS TO CAPITAL
As the primary source of proof-of concept, start-up, seed and early stage entrepreneurial opportunities in Oklahoma, i2E regularly interacts with technology investors, venture funds, angel investors, corporate investors and others within Oklahoma and throughout the United States.
i2E is a catalyst, attracting investors to our client companies. Our rigorous entrepreneurial commercialization process yields a qualified portfolio of companies positioned for proof-of-concept, seed, start-up and early stage investments. We have relationships with angels and formal relationships with venture capital firms throughout the U.S.
i2E is often the first external investor in our portfolio companies through the OCAST TBFP proof-of-concept fund or the Oklahoma Seed Capital Fund. We are focused on investments at specific stages thereby assisting companies in growing by achieving measured milestones. Our initial funding size is typically $100,000 at the proof-of-concept stage and investments range from $250,000 - $700,000 at the seed and start-up stages. Investments are refundable awards at the proof-of-concept stage and typically in the form of convertible debt or straight equity at the seed and start-up stages. All financings have performance based milestones.
