Friend of Click Valley Venture Mentors Secures $150k grant!

Valley Venture Mentors, a startup mentoring program based in Springfield and co-founded by Click President Paul Silva, today was awarded $150,000 in grant funding from the State at a ceremony officiated by the Governor.  More than 30 programs applied for the funding, only 3 received funding, and the other two programs have budgets of >>10x Valley Venture Mentors.  Not too shabby!  Full press release from the State Government here.

The grant funding will allow significant expansion of mentoring options for Western MA-based startups.  Several Clickster teams are already involved with Valley Venture Mentors (EdgeFlip & KnowledgeWare21), and we expect more will enroll in the coming years.

Congrats Valley Venture Mentors!

Congrats to our friends at the TechSandBox on their Expansion!

Our friends at the TechSandBox, a coworking space & incubator in MetroWest, just announced a major expansion.  Based on the email we just got from Barb Finer, their CEO, they are bouncing off the walls happy.  Congrats Barb and the TechSandBox team!
