SHARON, Pa. — Penn State Shenango’s VenturePointe opened Aug. 10 at a ribbon cutting ceremony. VenturePointe is an incubator for start-up resources for both for-profit businesses and not-for-profit agencies.
VenturePointe was made possible by a $50,000 seed grant provided by Invent Penn State, a Commonwealth-wide initiative to expand entrepreneurial endeavors in its region.
The grant was developed to spur economic development, job creation and student career success.
The incubator currently houses two Penn State Shenango start-up businesses: The Guardians Nest, a veteran’s resource center; and ATP Resources, a medical device developer and distributor.
Additionally, 3D printers arrived at VenturePointe and are fully operational. This final piece will enhance technology to support the development of product prototypes by Penn State students and VenturePointe tenants.
