SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator will host new Chautauqua Seed Fund

A new regional "seed fund" that will make convertible-note investments of up to $30,000 in early-stage technology companies will be hosted by our supporting member the SUNY Fredonia Technology Incubator, according to a press release (pdf version attached to this item) issued by the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency, which provided the startup grant for the fund.

The Chautauqua Seed Fund is a collaboration of Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards, the Chautauqua Region Industrial Development Corporation, the Fredonia incubator, and the City of Dunkirk. The fund will be based at the incubator, which is situated in the City of Dunkirk, and the incubator will provide assistance to businesses completing applications to the fund.
