Four Northern Kentucky start-up companies received $25,000 grants through the Northern Kentucky ezone. The companies include: DiabetiTec, an emerging medical device company; Beneficiency One, a benefits software company; World e Business Solutions, a real estate software company; and Dito Solutions, a financial services software company. Statewide in Kentucky, nearly $1.5 million was distributed to companies in the form of grants and investments/convertible notes from the Kentucky Enterprise Fund.
A new round of funding opened last week and applicants can apply for grants of $30,000 or other funding options ranging from $100,000 to $750,000 toward commercializing high-tech, high-growth companies and ideas. The grants are for creating and marketing new products, technologies and processes.
