Entrepreneurial Updates
The Reno Seed Fund is in the process of raising funds with the help of a federal seed fund support grant from the
Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The goal is to fill the void of early-stage capital available to companies and drive the participation of local investors into new seed funds. The Reno Seed Fund will be the leading angel investor fund in Northern Nevada and will support over 20 new companies over the next 4 years.

Startup of the Month
Titan Seal puts government records in the Blockchain
If someone contests your title change or license in court, they may claim you forged those documents. Even if you present a notarized paper with a stamp or seal, those seals can be faked. Titan Seals, on the other hand, are stored on the Blockchain. Once added, records on the Blockchain can never be deleted or changed. Titan Seal ensures trust between the government and the public.
