About VelocityTX
VelocityTX was established in 2017 as a nonprofit organization and a subsidiary of the Texas Research & Technology Foundation (TRTF). TRTF and VelocityTX are working together on a collective vision to drive economic growth, a better quality of life, and a safer world through collaboration and innovation.
To help companies scale, VelocityTX built the first Innovation Center in the city’s near eastside to facilitate collaboration and the collision of ideas, drive innovation, and foster the entrepreneurial spirit. This 17,000 square foot state of the art facility brings together a like-minded community of people who want to change the world — innovators, thinkers, doers, connectors.
Through this world-class Innovation Center, VelocityTX:
- Connects entrepreneurs with mentors, networks, and additional resources they need to scale their companies.
- Supports these ventures through incubator and accelerator programs geared toward professional and technical growth.
- Funds companies that demonstrate high-potential success with their life-changing innovation. VelocityTX's sister organization, Alamo Angels, San Antonio's premier network of accredited investors, is a key partner for capital investment.
VelocityTX innovation model – connect, support, fund— is designed to accelerate the path to commercialization for companies focused on medical devices, biotech, and healthcare IT. VelocityTX exists to help early-stage bioscience companies launch innovative breakthroughs that significantly enhance and save lives at a global level.
Leveraging San Antonio’s unique strengths in research & development and commercialization, VelocityTX is positioned to support and promote entrepreneurial development as a key economic strategy. VelocityTX has become a valued community connection point, partnering with some of the nation’s largest, most-respected bioscience institutions servicing the fields of academia, private industry and military. These relationship-driven activities can be expected to accelerate high-quality job growth, create more economic opportunities, and support the future of the next generation of industry-leading bioscience companies.
