Community supported space for digital startups

SURF is dedicated to advancing the ideas and passions of technology-focused entrepreneurs.

“Starting up a business requires an overwhelming diversity of skills and it is impossible to have all the knowledge that you need. Even before its official opening, the SURF incubator has linked me with several people that have offered insight, encouragement, and most importantly connections that have accelerated my progress. When you combine that with the energy that is created by associating with creative, dynamic, and optimistic startups you have a really compelling environment for incubating a business.”

-Don Rule, Founder and CEO of Translational Software

 

UPDATE: SURF officially opened its doors on April 30th with 19 startups. At full capacity the space can accommodate about 25-30 startups ranging from 1 to 10 employees.

Thank you to SURF’s Founding Members!
