Things are Busy, Check Out Lubbock's Incubator Project
Things here have been extremely busy over the past few weeks. We are still getting used to our new location, the bright colors that our group picked out for their offices, and everything else that goes along with a move (including our bad plumbing, and a condemned heating system).In the midst of all of the changes, I got a call from Bonner Bennett, the Chairman and Director of the Technology Research Association Consortium (TRAC). Just when we thought there were enough acronyms .....
Seems that TRAC has secured some funding, and in coordination with the local SBDC, the Texas Workforce Commission, and [maybe?] Texas Tech. My details were a bit fuzzy (and yes, I'm listed as a member of TRAC's Consultant Board). John Smothers (the owner of TG Trees) is directing the incubator, which is located somewhere in Lubbock (I believe at the Science Spectrum building).
So, anyone in the area interested in taking their technology to an incubator can start with one of the above persons.
My advice: Protect yourself at all costs, including patents / copyrights / trademarks, and don't disclose more than you need to at any point-in-time. When you go and talk with them, remember that you're interviewing them, as much as they're interviewing you. But then, my advice works for everyone, not just the Lubbock Incubator project.
