Regional Cooperation in Action

The ARCHAngels collaborates with a number of NEO Economic Development resources. We especially like working with like-minded people like Jim Cossler, Chief Evangelist of the Youngstown Business Incubator. Here's a taste of Jim's wit and enthusiasm:     

“We are pleased to announce that YBI portfolio company, Eris Medical Technologies, has received a $100,000 investment from the Innovation Alliance Fund. The Fund is a partnership of Lorain County Community College, the University of Akron Research Foundation, and GLIDE, an Edison Incubator sister organization of YBI.   

Eris will use the proceeds to finish the Beta test trials and speed the commercialization of the firm's revenue integrity technology that identifies lost charge capture opportunities for hospitals and medical centers. You can learn more about the product at www.erismed.com. 

Akron and Lorain investing cold, hard cash in a Youngstown software company.   

That, ladies and gentlemen, is real regional cooperation.”     

Thanks to Jim, the Youngstown Business Incubator, Lorain County Community College, the University of Akron Research Foundation, and GLIDE for making this possible.  To find out more about Jim and the Youngstown Business Incubator, please visit www.ybi.org.
