OCTANe in Aliso Viejo formed a Growth Services division to increase “resources, intelligence, capital and deal flow” for the group’s members, partners, investors, entrepreneurs and accelerator alumni.
It’s recently been extending its reach, though it’s known mainly for its life sciences and technology accelerator. Chief Executive Bill Carpou said the growth services operating group is for “any company or organization looking to grow,” whether part of the accelerator program or not.
OCTANe introduced the offering at its annual Medical Device & Investor Forum last week at Hotel Irvine, which featured seminars, panels, and nine presenting companies seeking $57 million in investment, from seed rounds to Series B.
