Nine Startups Selected for HSC Next SBIR Phase 0 Program

Leaders from The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth selected nine business owners this month to receive funding from a program designed to spur local innovation.

Articulate Labs, Entvantage Dx, Memsel, Neuro Rehab, PaRxVision, SecureFoundry, Sinclair Digital Services, TerraStor and VaxDome comprise the inaugural cohort of the HSC Next SBIR Phase 0 Program.

This program was created to help the owners of local forward-thinking small businesses apply for federal funds through mechanisms known as the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs, collectively known as America’s Seed Fund. In December, HSC received a $2 million grant from Tarrant County to fund the program.
