STOC was formed in 2002 as a private sector/academic partnership initiative to help address economic growth in the Southern Tier. The coalition provides a single knowledge point of contact for regional business development resources to assist new business initiatives. STOC will identify, garner and apply resources through collective action to enhance existing technology businesses and to nurture new business opportunities. Our vision is to be the premier academic/business alliance leveraging innovation and technology that creates excitement and prosperity in the community, capturing the hearts and minds of the next generation.
We have developed a database of Venture Capital firms who do invest in New York. Also, we will assist clients in developing their business plan for approaching local banks.
Our organization has many volunteers that will work with our staff to assist you.
There is a company membership fee that varies based on the size of the organization. Also, we have an individual membership rate.
