Without Ben Franklin, Videon would never be the world leader we are today. We employ nearly 100 people who are developing solutions on par with our strongest competition in Silicon Valley.
During the early days of the company, it was Ben Franklin’s funding that kept us afloat. We knew that SilcoTek would grow tremendously, but that it would take time. Ben Franklin’s investment bought us that time.
The Ben Franklin TechCelerator mentorship program was an integral part of our development. It helped us build the foundation we needed to start our business venture.
Ben Franklin’s investment in my company was the seed that helped us develop a whole line of patent-protected lab products. We were eventually able to purchase a hematology instruments business to fill out our product offering. I’m proud to say that we’ve put more than 100 tax-paying people to work in Centre County, from assemblers to PhD Bio-Engineers.
My first company failed. Flat out failed. The only group willing to help me at the lowest depths of my professional career was Ben Franklin. John Vidmar and the Transformation’s Team gave me advice, gave me hope and encouraged me to start again.
