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

[UCM_ORED_AG]

Dear Friends of the University of California Merced Office of Research and Economic Development,

We are pleased to announce three new partnership opportunities for which we are enthusiastically seeking collaborators. These partnership opportunities are aimed at (i) experienced entrepreneurs and investors, (ii) accelerators, incubators, entrepreneurship centers and small business development centers (SBDCs), and (iii) investment capital firms and investor groups including angel investors, venture capital firms, evergreen investors, revolving loan fund managers, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), nonprofit lenders, and intermediaries.

Interested parties are invited to submit expressions of interest<https://research.ucmerced.edu/expressions-interest> by Monday September 15th.  We anticipate hosting a webinar closer to the deadline (details will be posted at the same link).  The webinar will be recorded, and a list of FAQs also posted.

If you or someone you know would like to be involved, we would love to learn more about your interest and explore further how we might collaborate.

We are also eager to hear any ideas or suggestions you may have for us as we embark on this exciting journey. Growing a nascent University of California tech transfer program is a unique and incredible opportunity, and we believe that the key to success lies in strong, collaborative partnerships.

We look forward to working with you in the short-, mid-, and long-term to identify and secure exceptional partners who share our vision.

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in distributing this opportunity through your networks. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to UC Merced and to its mission.

With Warm Regards,
Gillian
