Who’s Who in Technology
April 2011
The Business Weekly 2011 awards recognized SFBI’s leader, an SFBI client and graduate! The Who’s Who in Technology awards includes people who have made important contributions to moving technology in New Mexico, regardless of their field. The honorees were selected by a panel of experts in technology. Congratulations go to: Marie Longserre, President/CEO of SFBI (Facilitator Category), Rick Sanders, Phase One Ventures (Investor Category) and David Franklin, TheRealPlanet.com (Entrepreneur Category). Thank you Business Weekly for recognizing our colleagues.
Our thanks to all who attended SFBI’s Open House in December. It was a successful networking event with over 200 attendees. It was a great opportunity for people to tour the facility and visit with SFBI Clients and Economic Development Partners. A special ‘thank you’ to Mayor Coss for his kind words of support. A BIG thank you to our partners for their efforts setting up displays, providing invaluable information about their programs.
Santa Fe Business Incubator is pleased to announce the launch of their new Co-working Program. On October 1, 2010, SFBI opened the doors to a co-working office, providing dedicated, furnished workstations, access to SFBI’s Council of Business Advisors, meeting rooms, wi-fi, shared office equipment, networking opportunities and access to on-site workshops, seminars and business-related events to entrepreneurs in the community who need the space, resources and know-how to grow their businesses to long-term success.
In August, 2010, Santa Fe Business Incubator welcomed its newest client, RoofCARE, to Santa Fe. The company was started in the WESST Enterprise Center in Albuquerque, and after its initial success, decided to expand to Northern New Mexico. With a new model of extending the life of a roof rather than replacing it, the company is able to save money for its commercial and residential clients.
The Santa Fe Business Incubator is pleased to announce that two of our graduate companies, 20th Century West Art Appraisal, Inc. and Serafina Technical Consulting, have been recognized by The New Mexico Business Weekly as Small Business Heavyweights. A panel of small-business experts selected twenty-five outstanding New Mexico companies with 25 or fewer employees, reflecting a variety of industries from communities around the state as Heavyweights. Companies selected have created a unique product or service; have demonstrated a strong track record in business; and have made important contributions to New Mexico and its economy.
