The Hawaii Strategic Development Corp. is putting its focus on research commercialization and is looking for partners to join in the investment.
HSDC President Karl Fooks told me research commercialization is the next stage the corporation is focusing on. Its last big project was the Launch Akamai Venture Accelerator program, which was designed to provide funding for venture capital accelerator programs. It did that through Henk Rogers’ Blue Startups. The other two accelerators the HSDC selected did not get off the ground. One couldn’t raise the matching funds and the other’s management team couldn’t work together. But Rogers’ Blue Startups has gotten off to a strong start.
