Education + Support + Streamlined License = Better Start-ups + Inventor Satisfaction

Is a facilitation and expedited license program that aligns the various campus stakeholders i.e. the entrepreneur, compliance officer, economic development catalyst and the technology transfer officer, in a coordinated effort to lower barriers traditionally encountered in the formation of a university startup. The keystone of the program is the GT:IPS license vetted by the Atlanta startup community which can be used without reservation by attorney s representing Georgia Tech startups that is acceptable to a spectrum of investors.

1. Education a) Researchers b) Entrepreneurs c) Students 2. Facilitation a) Conflict of Interest Management b) Funding opportunities c) Intellectual property protection d) Work with VentureLab and ATDC 3. Streamlined Licensing 1. Low risk/low barriers license 2. Developed with input from local attorneys who frequently represent start-up companies

Flashpoint is a startup accelerator program accepting teams at Georgia Tech. Flashpoint provides entrepreneurial education (in the form of experienced mentors and presentations by veterans), shared learning, and a competitive, accelerated environment for business model and technology development.

Georgia Tech Funding for the Start-up Flashpoint at Georgia Tech does not directly fund the startups that participate in its program. However, the Flashpoint Investment Fund is a vehicle designed to fund Flashpoint companies. Sig Mosley of Imlay Investments in Atlanta has volunteered to manage the Flashpoint Investment Fund. Risk-investment for Flashpoint Startups The Flashpoint Investment Fund anticipates investing somewhere around $15,000 per startup. It may invest more but not much more. The fund intends to give you just enough money to be in a position to go and get more money from other sources when your cohort is over. The Flashpoint Investment Fund does not plan to make follow-on investments in Flashpoint startups. The Flashpoint Investment Fund is not the only source of risk-capital available. What do the investors get out of this? Around 6% of the startup, most often in the form of common stock. For companies that are accepted to the program, which already have funding, the Flashpoint Investment Fund may still be able to invest.
