About ATIF
To bridge the gap between technology start-ups and the nationwide venture capital community the Arizona Technology Investor Forum has been created. ATIF will play a critical role in the economic growth and development of Arizona, especially the Valley region. Its mission is to generate a new wave of entrepreneurship by providing needed seed stage funding for worthy ventures. Limited to investments in the range of $50,000 to $500,000, ATIF provides the fuel for early stage ventures to achieve critical milestones and refine business models. The objective of ATIF is to provide financing for intellectual property development and protection, prototype development, and initial marketing of a technology, product, process or invention.
ATIF deal flow comes from the community, members and affiliations with Arizona State University. ATIF members invest in opportunities that focus on emerging technologies: Life sciences, healthcare, biotech, nanotechnology, and other segments with high-growth opportunity. Membership in ATIF is extended to individuals who share its vision and will actively contribute to its process. ATIF members are accredited investors as that term is defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act and under other applicable securities laws and regulations.
