Fort Worth-based Eosera, a biotech startup specializing in innovative ear care products, has graduated from the TechFW accelerator and business incubator—and now its co-founder and CEO Elyse Dickerson (above, with co-founder and CSO Joe Griffin) is joining the nonprofit’s board.
“We have the honor and pleasure of working with founders from idea-to-scale and Eosera is a prime example of that value proposition, having been with TechFW from its beginning to where it is today—close to moving into a 40,000-square-foot facility,” said Hayden Blackburn, executive director of TechFW, in a statement.
Dallas Innovates has tracked Eosera’s growth for years. It won the Comerica Pitch Competition and $50,000 way back in 2015, and first started manufacturing and scaling out of TechFW’s building. Its first product hit shelves in 8,000-plus CVS stores, and in 2021 Eosera made the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing list.
Now, with around 30 employees, the new facility to come, and new product launches like EARWAX PET, the company is well on its path to the future, with Dickerson’s board membership ensuring the lessons she’s learned along the way will be part of TechFW’s continuing story.
Get on the list.
