Salt Lake County EDRLF approves Flying Software Labs, Clear Center, and Prodatakey for loans.
VentureCapital.org announced that three loans have been approved for funding. The companies approved are:
- Flying Software Labs: developed an integrated solution to better serve the needs of flying clubs and schools worldwide
- ClearCenter: provides a single Information Technology Operating Platform that is cost effective, simple to use, and reliable
- Prodatakey: a SaaS based software platform that allows businesses to intelligently control access to connected doors and devices through a single intuitive user interface.
The money will be used in all cases to expand sales and marketing. “Expected results from the loans are revenue growth that will lead to a successful series A at a desired valuation.” Said Brad Bertoch, President of VentureCapital.org, which manages the loan fund for Salt Lake County.
If you are a startup business located in Salt Lake County and have been turned down for a bank loan, contact us—you may qualify for EDRLF consideration. Go to the website page to learn more about the fund, as well as the terms and conditions.
