PolyAurum has leased lab and office space in the Pennovation Center, a 58,000 square foot business incubator and laboratory located in the Grays Ferry Section of Philadelphia, that aligns and integrates researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs for the commercialization of research discoveries. According to Deb Travers, CEO of PolyAurum, the choice was easy. The Pennovation Center is just south of the University of Pennsylvania campus where some of the development work will continue. The two campuses are a short walk or shuttle ride from each other. The Center has a modern industrial vibe that appeals to startups. There is ample conferencing and collaboration space which is important as you meet with investors. And don’t underestimate the beauty of free parking which none of the other incubators within the city limits provides. Finally, the Penn Center for Innovation Ventures group is right on campus. Said Travers, “We still get a lot of support from PCI Ventures as a young startup. Now I can just walk down the hall to ask questions.”
