First National Bank pledges $150K for Innosphere

FORT COLLINS – The Rocky Mountain Innosphere will receive $150,000 from First National Bank over the next three years, the technology incubator announced Wednesday.

The Innosphere said it will use the investment to support high-quality startups in Northern Colorado. The nonprofit supports more than 30 startups with nearly 200 employees.

The funding allows the organization to diversify its revenue stream from its key funding partners, Colorado State University and the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland. It also allows the Innosphere to pursue its key objective to improve access to capital for entrepreneurs.

Solar Operations and Maintenance for Commercial Properties

One key qualification to consider when selecting a solar partner to install your system is whether they have an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) or service department. Since solar is a long-term asset with an expected lifecycle of 30 plus years, ongoing O&M should be considered up front. A trusted O&M partner will maximize your system’s energy output and therefor the return on your investment.

“We look forward to securing additional major community sponsors this year,” Mark Wdowik, CEO of CSU’s Management Corp. and chair of the Innosphere board, said in a statement. “Through their investment, First National has validated the important role that Innosphere is playing in our regional economy.”
