UConn Stamford Technology Incubator Adds Six Startups, Completing Its First-Year Cohort

UConn Stamford’s Technology Incubation Program, TIP Digital, is pleased to welcome six additional startups to its data science-focused membership, rounding out its first-year cohort. The newcomers, the majority of whom are in the fintech space, raise the total of TIP Digital startups to 23, from five when the facility opened earlier this year in mid-February (a 360% increase).

Co-funded by the University of Connecticut (UConn) and StamfordNext, a nonprofit collaborative which makes grants to projects that support local entrepreneurs and innovation, TIP Digital is a key component of the larger Stamford Data Science Initiative, an effort of UConn, StamfordNext and CTNext to expand the data science sector in Stamford.

“We’re very pleased to welcome these promising companies to our program,” Margaret Feeney, director of TIP Digital, said. “We look forward to supporting their development, and we’re confident they’ll enjoy collaboration with all the companies in the UConn and Stamford data science ecosystem.”

Wes Bemus, executive director of StamfordNext, said: “It’s great to see TIP Digital’s continued growth. As fintech was one of the first industries to overwhelmingly adopt data science elements, it’s naturally an area of growth within TIP Digital – and in Stamford as a whole.”
