The first company to open a space at the Prince William Science Accelerator – ISOThrive, LLC – has announced they will be moving into a larger space on the site.
The Prince William Science Accelerator is a facility located in Innovation Park – a collaborative effort between the Prince William County Economic Development department and George Mason University, to bring jobs and industry to Prince William.
ISOThrive is currently working on a probiotic nutritional supplement, and plans to enter the commercial market this year. They have received $1.4 million in private investments.
“The Prince William Science Accelerator is focused on growing a pipeline of world-class researchers, businesses and investors into the community. Being home to the only university-anchored science and technology park in the Greater Washington, DC metropolitan area, Prince William County provides new life sciences entrepreneurs and startups an ideal environment that promotes synergy and collaboration,” Prince William County Board of Supervisor’s Chairman At-Large Corey Stewart said in a release.
According to Jack Oswald, the CEO of ISOThrive, the Prince William Science Accelerator has allowed the company to grow quickly.
“ISOThrive’s participation in the Prince William Science Accelerator has enabled us to quickly advance our research and fast-track our time to market. The support of Prince William County and the close proximity to the world class resources of the MicroBiome Analysis Center at George Mason University have been instrumental to our efforts,” said Oswald in a release.
Additionally, ISOThrive is conducting a research study, and are looking for participants to test their supplement. In order to participate, individuals must be between 18 and 45, have a BMI of 25 or higher, and be in good health.
