Calvin Goforth Email & Phone Number

My career has largely been focused on start-up company development including intellectual property assessment, building strong development teams, raising capital, and bringing products to market. I have served in Founder, Executive, and Board member roles across numerous life science companies. Along the way, I have raised or helped raise tens of millions of dollars in funding and taken multiple companies from concept through to exit.I have long had an interest in science and engineering and how new technologies can improve lives. At VIC Tech I developed the company’s virtual enterprising business model to support the formation and development of technology start-up companies based on potentially world-changing technologies exclusively licensed from top research institutions. This business model allows our portfolio companies unparalleled access to a deeply experienced team of business development professionals and proven business processes that greatly enhance the chance for success. I formed and co-manage the VIC Investor Network that provides $250,000 to $500,000 seed capital into every new venture that VIC Tech forms as well as co-investing alongside VIC Tech in follow-on capital rounds. I continue to serve as CEO of VIC and on the Boards of several VIC portfolio companies. And I continue to learn about emerging life science technologies and the commercialization opportunities and challenges.

Listed skills include Start Ups, Venture Capital, Entrepreneurship, Commercialization, and 46 others.
