About us
First Flight (FFVC) is a science and technology incubator located in the heart of Research Triangle Park. Established in 1991 to serve the initial needs of entrepreneurs and early stage companies. FFVC strives to produce companies that graduate from the facility as financially viable and freestanding businesses. These incubator graduates migrate into the mainstream of the business community, creating jobs and commercializing important new technologies that contribute to a stronger North Carolina economy. We have more than 30 years experience in successfully launching new businesses in North Carolina. This success lies in First Flight’s turnkey approach—the ability to enable tenant businesses to reduce both their initial capitalization requirements and their annual operation costs by providing affordable space with flexible leases, shared business services, technology support services, and management guidance and counseling. FFVC offers 25,000 square feet of leasable office and laboratory space for up to 40 emerging technology companies.

First Flight Venture Center Captain Circle is a roundtable for the CEO's and Founders. In addition to our monthly roundtable, we have a sponsored lunch and speaker that helps the founders to learn together and build stronger networks. We all know how hard it is to balance working "on" the business when so much time is demanded working "in" the business. This program is one First Flight Venture Center adds value. And we could not have this program if it wasn't for those in our community that give of their time, experience and financial support. This month we had the pleasure of spending time with Jess Hawthorne of CSC Leasing, who also has been a dinner sponsor. Jess, we can't thank you enough for your continued commitment to the program and our founders. Our speaker was Christopher Poe, an emerging companies lawyer with Wyrick Robbins. Christopher's time with us involved learning about questions to ask to assess the health of your company. His handout checklist titled "Startup Health Check" is amazing. Thank you both for your support and spending some of your valuable time with us. #biotech #startups #ceoroundtables #invention
