Ever since the dot.com bubble burst, Oklahomans have been determined to build our own innovation economy — an economy that is diversified from our traditional reliance on oil and aerospace.
We are doing a good job of starting up high-growth companies in new sectors.
We've tackled the problem of access to startup capital through two state supported funds managed by i2E that provide proof-of-concept and seed stage capital. SeedStep Angels, an investor network we have developed of about 30 successful Oklahomans, provides additional capital and mentoring to entrepreneurs.
