Sp
3nw’s proposal was chosen for its unique framework to create a flexible infrastructure for resilient entrepreneurship, referred to as FIRE, which consists of support programs that spur regional economic development in eastern Washington and North Idaho.
“We are thrilled to be chosen as a recipient in the Department of Commerce/Economic Development Administration’s competitive SPRINT challenge. This validates the sp
3nw program and its delivery of innovative life science to the region,” said Glenn Prestwich, who is both the principal investigator for the project and the director for sp
3nw.
Continued Prestwich, “Our proposal was unique in that it matches startups in the area with executive advisors and interns to help expedite go-to-market actions. The project will provide wrap-around services to startups including marketing, bookkeeping and business research. As we talk to life sciences entrepreneurs, these are often the services they lack capacity to carry out.”
