“As a serial entrepreneur for the past two decades, there were plenty of times I wish I had help and guidance from expert resources along the way,” said TrueSpace co-founder and CEO Charles Fred. “Innosphere is the go-to resource for startup entrepreneurs, and once they have outgrown the startup phase with Innosphere’s help, TrueSpace can escalate their mid-market business to the next level in a first-class setting.”

Innosphere and TrueSpace have a common goal of stimulating high-paying job growth and the local economy. Since the launch of this partnership, there have been three companies to graduate from Innosphere’s program that have transitioned to TrueSpace. One is SunTech Drive, an innovative Boulder-based solar power electronics company. SunTech Drive grew to about $2 million in revenue while they were in Innosphere’s Scaleup Program, at which point they graduated from Innosphere and became a client of TrueSpace.

“It was a natural transition from Innosphere to TrueSpace,” said Bud Michael, SunTech Drive CEO. “The partnership between these two organizations made it easy for TrueSpace to get the business support we needed when the needs of SunTech Drive shifted.”
