different business model than the other<br />
incubators in the state <strong>of</strong> Georgia. When<br />
TIF locates a promising medical device<br />
technology idea, they acquire or license<br />
it from the individual or organization, then<br />
perform a thorough strategic review, including<br />
intellectual property and market research<br />
and submit a business plan to their venture<br />
capital consortium for funding.<br />
