Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Maine:
Money isn’t enough

Why Maine Accelerates Growth is an important part of the entrepreneurial and innovation landscape in Maine – Maine has a variety of resources for people who want to start businesses and is a national leader in Main St. style businesses, but this is not enough.  Learn about the support systems for innovation-driven businesses in Maine and why it takes more than money for these businesses to become economic drivers for our State. 

Our Speaker:

Martha Bentley has worked with the Maine Technology Institute in a variety of capacities since 2002 including managing the Cluster Initiative Program and the Maine Technology Asset Fund Program, as well as Maine Accelerates Growth. Martha joined the MTI staff in 2016 as Director of Innovation Infrastructure, coordinating MTI’s funding programs and partnerships that support the innovation and entrepreneurial environment in Maine.

Martha has a bachelor of arts in history from Davidson College and a master of arts in applied history from the University of South Carolina. She has held a variety of positions relating to non-profit management and philanthropy, including grants manager for the Public Welfare Foundation in Washington, DC, and director of programs at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  She lives in Readfield, Maine.
