Three Easy Steps
Because Innovate Arkansas uses Angelsoft to manage our submission process, the first step for a potential client to make is to log in to Angelsoft as an entrepreneur. Complete the application, and submit it. Please include as much information as possible; the application can be saved and modified as needed. You may also contact the Innovate Arkansas team with any questions that may arise during the submission process.
After you have submitted your application and any pertinent documents, the Innovate Arkansas team will review your information and contact you with further questions or to schedule a meeting. If Innovate Arkansas determines that the enterprise fits the requirements as indicated above, a client agreement and a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement will be offered to the potential client.
When Innovate Arkansas receives those signed agreements, the commercial enterprise will then be considered an Innovate Arkansas client.
