IFV Is excited to announce its most recent investment and partnership with Brooklyn, NY based, 10XBeta 10XBeta is an innovative venture studio building healthcare companies that connect devices, data, and AI to deliver continuous insights. Their unique blend of design and manufacturing expertise accelerates a company’s ability to create medical devices, achieve regulatory approval, combine software and data with the hardware, and then launch in market in a rapid time frame. This healthcare, medical device, and manufacturing prowess makes them a natural partner to everything we have in NE Ohio. As Marcel Botha, CEO stated “10xBeta enables a company in their Brooklyn lab to design and build a product, stabilize manufacturing, and then get applicable regulatory approval from the FDA and Medicare. These companies often would regionally scale in locations that have the healthcare and manufacturing infrastructure to scale to be $100M plus companies; NE Ohio's combination of world class healthcare and polymer and advanced materials expertise makes it one of the few regions in the country equipped to accomplish this.”

Got a little bonus on my Leadership Ohio retreat in Dayton by getting to meet these brothers and get a glimpse into their incredible start up. Ilyaas Motley and his brother Xavier started straight out of college and I see a trip to Akron and a visit with key stakeholders with the Polymer Industry Cluster coming really soon! #innovation #investinohio #venturecapital #startups

Awesome news for Akron and NE Ohio and further proof supporting our investment model hatched 5 years ago! Connecting the coasts to the MW has never been more popular.
The GAC is excited to announce that the Polymer Industry Cluster has been named the recipient of a $51 million federal investment as part of the EDA Tech Hubs Phase 2 awards! These funds will be used to advance a hub of innovation, growth and investment for the United States focused on sustainable polymers - this work will create differentiated strategic advantage for the U.S. and jobs, growth and investment for the region. Press release: https://ow.ly/4PT050Stx57 For the last three years, leaders and partners across the region have been working side by side to leverage the density of companies, research institutions, and talent in the polymer industry to collaborate and innovate in ways like never before. The result of this work has been realized through several victories since then, but today’s announcement places this work on a catalytic trajectory. Outside of the direct impact to be felt by polymer companies, our region and its residents stand to benefit from the award as well. Clusters drive economic growth, increase new investment, attract companies, and create job opportunities. We are proud of the work this cluster has accomplished to date and we look forward to the work and impact to come. This is a great day for Greater Akron!
