CONNECT Springboard provides free assistance for life sciences and high-tech companies in all stages of development, including concept, start-up challenge and opportunity.

Upon completion of this process, entrepreneurs are invited to make a presentation of their business model to a select group of experts, tailored to the individual needs of each company. The goals of the panel presentation are to provide the entrepreneur with candid recommendations for the refinement of their business plan and to help identify next steps to acheive the company's goals. Since its inception in 1983, Springboard has assisted over 250 technology companies in starting and funding their operations. Over $620M has been raised by these companies and more than half are still doing business in San Diego.
