Small businesses are true engines for the economy, supporting new jobs and allowing creative problem-solvers the chance to address real world challenges. Arrowhead Center provides resources to entrepreneurs and small businesses across New Mexico, helping ventures to launch and grow.
Arrowhead provides a variety of resources for individuals launching and growing small businesses, powered by our network of expert partners.
Our mission is to level the playing field for all high-growth entrepreneurs – particularly those who are underserved – in all places in order to create stronger communities, close the opportunity gap and scale successful business. Arrowhead Accelerators (Sprints) include four accelerators that support technology-based and export-base companies through education, mentorship, and financing in a virtual, cohort-based setting.
The NM Federal and State Technology (NM FAST) partnership program provides SBIR and STTR proposal development assistance to small businesses throughout NM. Securing federal funding for your innovative idea or technology is a critical step towards commercial success. The SBIR and STTR programs, often referred to as “America’s Seed Fund,” are an excellent source of undiluted funding, but are highly competitive. NM FAST provides the resources, support, and expertise necessary to submit a highly competitive proposal.
The NMSBA program assists for-profit small businesses in New Mexico with technical and/or business challenges. Arrowhead Center, as a contractor for Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), brings the unique resources of New Mexico State University through faculty and staff to assist in a variety of technical and/or business challenges.
The hub of innovation and entrepreneurship for southern New Mexico and our Borderlands region. Opportunities abound to partner with us in research, technology commercialization, and growing regional clusters in Life Sciences, Aerospace, Agri-Biz, Digital Media, and more. We have land and space available now to meet your business needs, and build-to-suit capability to help you grow.
Arrowhead Ventures is a post-accelerator program that provides follow-on support for businesses who have participated in one of Arrowhead’s Accelerator programs. Arrowhead Ventures provides accelerator graduates with resources, guidance and traction to assist with continued growth of their business.
