About FFVC
. . . . a leader in business creation.

The mission of the First Flight Venture Center is to increase the number of technology companies originating in or relocating to North Carolina.

The First Flight Venture Center (FFVC) is a technology incubator located in the heart of Research Triangle Park. The incubator was established in 1991 specifically to serve the initial needs of entrepreneurs and early stage companies in the Research Triangle area. FFVC offers 16,000 square feet of leasable office and laboratory space for up to 25 emerging technology companies.

The First Flight Venture Center has more than 14 years experience in successfully launching new businesses in North Carolina. This success lies in FFVC'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 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.
