Uptech

Graduated several classes of a limited number of start-up entrepreneurs(generally six to ten) by providing work space, infrastructure at no charge, training, networking and mentoring. Funding has been provided to the entrepreneurs, usually in the form of a convertible debt, in amounts ranging from $20,000 to $50,000 from Uptech fund i, llc, a for profit entity owned and controlled by its investors. None of the invested funds are provided by Uptech. Through the development of the entrepreneurs, Uptech has helped create new jobs and bring commercial activity to the neighborhood as well as helped beautify the covington neighborhood it is in by allowing for the renovation of a vacant, decaying building where it now has office space. The education center is open to all in order to help spur revitalization in the urban core of the city of covington and northern Kentucky.
