Our goal is to accelerate the growth of Iowa’s bioscience sector. We run the State's SBIR/STTR Outreach Program, helping Iowa startups access federal funding dollars through America's Seed Fund. In February 2021 BioConnect Iowa, in partnership with the ISU Startup Factory, also launched the Iowa G2M Accelerator, a 3 year program designed to boost the Iowa startup ecosystem. The G2M Accelerator provides follow-on support to innovative high-tech companies that have previously participated in an accelerator or other structured support program. Cohort members are provided support and consulting services from providers in a range of areas including legal support, financial services, branding/marketing and HR/recruiting. The Iowa G2M Program is partially funded by a US Economic Development Administration grant and is in partnership with BioConnect Iowa, Iowa State University Startup Factory and VentureNet Iowa.
