| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY QED PROOF OF CONCEPT PROGRAM IN EARLY 2009 THE SCIENCE CENTER LAUNCHED THE NATION'S FIRST MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL PROOF-OF-CONCEPT PROGRAM TO FUND AND PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF EARLY-STAGE LIFE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGIES AT ACADEMIC RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS. THIS PROGRAM NAMED "QED", AFTER THE LATIN PHRASE QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM ("THAT WHICH MUST BE DEMONSTRATED") - PROVIDES BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND FUNDING SUPPORT FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS THROUGHOUT PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE BY SUPPORTING EARLY-STAGE LIFE SCIENCE R&D WITH HIGH COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL. AS ANGEL INVESTORS, VENTURE CAPITALISTS, AND ESTABLISHED COMPANIES INCREASINGLY INVEST IN LATER-STAGE ENTERPRISES, FINDING EARLY-STAGE FUNDING TO ACCELERATE INNOVATION HAS BECOME MORE DIFFICULT. QED ASSISTS PROMISING RESEARCHERS IN BRIDGING THE GAP - OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "VALLEY OF DEATH" - BETWEEN PUBLICLY FUNDED LABORATORY RESEARCH AND PRIVATELY-FUNDED TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. QED LEVERAGES THE SCIENCE CENTER'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNIVERSITIES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES, DRIVING TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND NEW BUSINESS FORMATION, ADVANCING ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND ENCOURAGING INNOVATION, COMPETITIVENESS, AND KNOWLEDGE-BASED RETENTION AND EXPANSION. THE PROGRAM'S KEY GOAL IS TO MARSHAL EXISTING REGIONAL RESOURCES TO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE INVESTMENT RISK IN BOTH EARLY-STAGE LIFE SCIENCE AND DIGITAL HEALTH R&D PROJECTS, PREPARING THEM FOR ESTABLISHED HEALTH CARE COMPANIES AND PRIVATE INVESTORS, WITHOUT ADDING TO THE PROLIFERATION OF SUB-SCALE, UNDERCAPITALIZED VENTURES ALREADY IN THE MARKET. BY ENGAGING THE REGION'S ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, RESEARCH SCIENTISTS, ENTREPRENEURS, INVESTORS, AND INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS IN EARLY-STAGE COMMERCIALIZATION, THE SCIENCE CENTER SEEKS TO INCREASE THE PACE AND VALUE OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IN THE REGION. QED GOES BEYOND A TYPICAL GAP FUND IN TWO PRIMARY RESPECTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY RESEARCH AREA. FIRST, IT ADDS COMMERCIAL GUIDANCE AS A CRITICAL, EARLY COMPONENT. THIS GUIDANCE TAKES THE FORM OF BUSINESS ADVISORS, SPECIALIST CONSULTANTS (E.G., PATENT LAWYERS, REGULATORY EXPERTS, AND MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT CONSULTANTS), TECHNICAL AND CLINICAL REVIEW OF TECHNOLOGY BY OUTSIDE REVIEWERS, AND MARKET-BASED SCREENING AND SELECTION. SECOND, IT PROMOTES COMPETITIVE PARTICIPATION BY A LARGE NUMBER OF RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS, INCORPORATING TRANSPARENT PROCESSES AND IDENTIFYING PROJECTS WITH THE GREATEST COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL. CURRENTLY, A TOTAL OF 21 RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. PROJECTS ARE REVIEWED, PRIORITIZED, AND RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING BY A SELECTION TEAM COMPRISED EXCLUSIVELY OF PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK IN VENTURE CAPITAL AND INDUSTRY, REPRESENTING NUMEROUS REGIONAL AND NATIONAL FIRMS AND COMPANIES. PARTICIPATING ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, INVESTORS, AND COMPANIES ARE LISTED AT HTTPS://WWW.SCIENCECENTER.ORG/DISCOVER/QED. EACH PROJECT SELECTED FOR FUNDING RECEIVES UP TO $200,000 OVER 12 MONTHS, WITH HALF OF THE FUNDING PROVIDED BY THE SCIENCE CENTER AND THE OTHER HALF BY THE SCIENTIST'S HOST INSTITUTION. CONTINUED FUNDING DURING THE PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PHASE IS CONDITIONAL UPON SATISFYING THE OBJECTIVES OUTLINED IN THE R&D PLAN, ACCORDING TO MILESTONES AND SCHEDULE. THE QED STAFF MEETS REGULARLY WITH THE PROJECT TEAMS, AND THE INVESTIGATORS PROVIDE PERIODIC PROGRESS UPDATES ON RESEARCH AND COMMERCIALIZATION ACTIVITIES. DURING THIS PHASE, THE QED STAFF ALSO ASSISTS WITH THE IDENTIFICATION AND PURSUIT OF APPROPRIATE SOURCES OF FOLLOW-ON FUNDING FOR SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS THAT EXIT THE PROGRAM. THROUGH 11 FUNDING CYCLES, QED HAS SCREENED 686 LIFE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS, ACCEPTED 128 PROJECTS, AND AWARDED AN AGGREGATE OF $7.45 MILLION TO 38 PROJECTS AT RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE TRI-STATE AREA. THE PROGRAM HAS FACILITATED THE FORMATION OF EIGHT STARTUP COMPANIES AND THE LICENSING OF 10 TECHNOLOGIES. IN ADDITION, AWARDED PROJECTS HAVE LEVERAGED MORE THAN $22 MILLION IN FOLLOW-ON FUNDING. PHASE 1 VENTURES (P1V) P1V IS A TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATOR AND FUNDING SOURCE FOR NEW BUSINESS FORMATION AND GROWTH. P1V IS A TURNKEY APPROACH TO THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMPANIES TO COMMERCIALIZE RESEARCH FROM OUR ACADEMIC PARTNER INSTITUTIONS. P1V PROVIDES STRATEGIC FUNDING; INDEPENDENT MANAGEMENT, CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES; AND CONNECTIONS TO NETWORKS OF ENTREPRENEURS, INVESTORS, AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS. THROUGH P1V, THE SCIENCE CENTER IS CAPITALIZING ON AND EXPANDING ITS DEEP RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNIVERSITIES AND HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT THE TRI-STATE AREA AND BEYOND, IN ORDER TO FACILITATE MORE (AND BETTER) START-UP COMPANY FORMATION THAT WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE PROGRAM, P1V HAS COMMITTED A TOTAL OF MORE THAN $2.5 MILLION OF FUNDING TO 28 COMPANIES FROM TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED AT 14 ACADEMIC PARTNER INSTITUTIONS. THESE COMPANIES HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY ATTRACTED A TOTAL OF MORE THAN $8 MILLION OF NON-DILUTIVE FUNDING AND FOLLOW-ON INVESTMENT. THE PORT BUSINESS INCUBATOR THE SCIENCE CENTER'S PORT BUSINESS INCUBATOR HOUSES AND FACILITATES THE GROWTH OF EARLY-STAGE TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. SINCE THE SCIENCE CENTER'S INCEPTION IN 1963, GRADUATE ORGANIZATIONS AND CURRENT RESIDENTS OF THE INCUBATOR HAVE SUPPORTED MORE THAN 40,000 DIRECT AND INDIRECT JOBS THAT REMAIN IN THE GREATER PHILADELPHIA REGION TODAY AND CONTRIBUTE MORE THAN $13 BILLION TO THE REGIONAL ECONOMY ANNUALLY. THE PORT PROVIDES FACILITATED ACCESS TO AN INNOVATION ENVIRONMENT OF ADVISORY SERVICES, BUSINESS SERVICES, ACADEMIC RESOURCES AND EXPERTISE, AND A 30,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUSINESS INCUBATOR FACILITY. PORT COMPANIES BENEFIT FROM THE SCIENCE CENTER'S BUSINESS ADVISORY COMMUNITY OF PROVEN ENTREPRENEURIAL MENTORS, AND THE SCIENCE CENTER'S SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMPRISING THE SENIOR RESEARCH OFFICERS AT THE REGION'S LEADING RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS. COMPANIES ARE HOUSED WITHIN A PLUG-AND-PLAY, STATE-OF-THE-ART OFFICE AND LABORATORY FACILITY ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO 150 PERSONNEL. RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL AND NETWORKING EVENTS, BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY, SHARED LABORATORY AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT, AND SHARED CONFERENCE FACILITIES. PORT MANAGERS SUPPORT THE INCUBATION PROCESS, ASSISTING RESIDENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL GROWTH NEEDS AND FACILITATING THEIR "GRADUATION" FROM THE PORT. TYPICAL RESIDENTS HAVE SEED-STAGE TO SERIES A CAPITAL AND 1-25 EMPLOYEES. THE PORT FLEXIBLY ACCOMMODATES THE CHANGING NEEDS OF EMERGING, FAST-GROWTH COMPANIES BY OFFERING FOOTPRINTS FROM VIRTUAL THROUGH SINGLE DESK, TO SINGLE-, DOUBLE- OR TRIPLE-OCCUPANCY OFFICE SPACE, AND A RANGE OF LAB SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE 1 - 16 RESEARCHERS. IN FURTHERING THEIR ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, THE INCUBATOR COMPANIES' WORK ENCOMPASSES INNOVATIONS IN THERAPEUTICS, MEDICAL DEVICES, DIAGNOSTICS, RESEARCH TOOLS, BIOINFORMATICS, NANOTECHNOLOGY, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AND CLEAN ENERGY. BASED ON ITS INITIAL SUCCESS AS AN "INCUBATOR OF INCUBATORS," THE PORT HAS CONTINUED TO HOST A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS ON BEHALF OF ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE SEEKING FLEXIBLE WAYS TO INCUBATE THEIR OWN BUSINESS VENTURES. PORT STAFF CONTINUES TO SEEK OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER AND COLLABORATE WITH DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS IN BUSINESS INCUBATION AND ACCELERATION. A STRATEGIC DECISION OF THE SCIENCE CENTER, THE PORT BUSINESS INCUBATOR WAS CLOSED IN DECEMBER 2018. LIKE THE STARTUPS WE SUPPORT, WE'RE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING OUR BUSINESS MODEL. WITH CIC MANAGING SHARED OFFICE AND LAB SPACE IN 3675 MARKET, THE SCIENCE CENTER IS ABLE TO FOCUS ON WHAT IT DOES BEST DEVELOPING AND DELIVERING PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORT THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF PROMISING TECHNOLOGY BY CONNECTING ENTREPRENEURS TO INVESTORS, ADVISORS AND MENTORS, AS WELL AS TO INDUSTRY AND THE PRODUCT MARKET TO HELP THEM EXPERIMENT, TEST AND ITERATE MORE EFFICIENTLY. INNOVATION CENTER @3401 LOCATED AT 3401 MARKET STREET, THE INNOVATION CENTER @3401 IS THE LARGEST GROUP OF FUNDED EARLY-STAGE TECH COMPANIES IN PHILADELPHIA. A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE SCIENCE CENTER AND DREXEL UNIVERSITY, IC@3401 IS ALSO HOME TO CHARACTER LAB. OPENED IN 2014, THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS INNOVATION, COLLABORATION, AND BUSINESS CREATION. IT IS AN INTEGRATED COMMUNITY DESIGNED TO HELP ENTREPRENEURS GO FROM AN IDEA TO A BUSINESS. MEMBERS FREQUENTLY OBTAIN THEIR FIRST REVENUES, HIRE THEIR FIRST EMPLOYEES, AND RAISE THEIR FIRST CAPITAL. THE INNOVATION CENTER @3401 BUILDS UPON THE SUCCESS OF DREXEL'S EXCITE CENTER AND THE SCIENCE CENTER'S LONG AND IMPACTFUL TRADITION OF INCUBATING STARTUPS AND CONVENING COMMUNITIES AROUND INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. IC@3401 CURRENTLY HAS MORE THAN 35 MEMBER COMPANIES; BETWEEN 2016 AND 2018, 52 STARTUPS RAISED MORE THAN $53MM IN PRESEED AND SEED CAPITAL. |
