Partnership Opportunities with UC Merced Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED)

[UCM_ORED_AG]

Dear Gillian,

Thank you for sharing the exciting partnership opportunities offered by the
University of California Merced Office of Research and Economic
Development.

HawkTower, our individual venture partners, and The Reservoir, our new
501(c)(3) organization, are all keen to explore these opportunities and
apply to participate. We are extremely impressed by UC Merced's highly
inclusive and thoughtful approach to this project, which we believe will
lead to positive ecosystem outcomes.

We look forward to collaborating with UC Merced and contributing to the
success of these initiatives. Thank you once again for considering us as
potential partners. We are eager to be part of this exciting journey and to
contribute to the growth and success of UC Merced’s entrepreneurship and
tech transfer programs.

With warm regards,

Danny
