Wisdom…

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination are omnipotent.

The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Calvin Coolidge

Tecqcorner Vibrates at Epicenter of Federal and NIH Activities
22 km from NIH, 19 km from Pentagon, 19 km from White House
 
On March 1, Teqcorner announced a Special “Virtual Office Program Offer” for Israeli companies attending the March 22 Life Science Event in Tel Aviv.   Companies attending the program are eligible for three months of free services including: a) Your own phone number answered by a professional receptionist 8.5 hours a day; b) use of Teqcorner’s prestigious business address in McLean; c) Board Room style meeting areas and Conference Center completely furnished while you are in the Washington DC area and e) an open door to Teqcorner’s networking functions where valuable business connections are made.   
 
What makes Teqcorner so special? 
 
It is probably the only center that helps a company outgrow its own center, and then helps the company find larger space when that time comes.  “We concentrate on helping small start-ups grow during their initial stages.  We’re flexible and very cost efficient at these early critical stages,” explains Myra.
 
After the three month Free period, a company can decide if it wants to continue with a Virtual Office at a discounted rate, or move into their own full office space at Teqcorner.  Of course they have the choice of discontinuing at our location.  There are no strings attached explained Myra Fitzwater, Teqcorner’s Sales & Business Development Manager.  “Israeli technology is terrific and we know these companies have to be near the NIH, Washington and the Pentagon.  And we’re only kilometers away from all of them.”  Myra added however, "the offer is so attractive that we must limit it to the first five Israeli companies that approach us."
 
Mr. Ralph Robbins, the Executive Director of the Virginia Israel Advisory Board said “we are very proud that we could negotiate this program for Israeli companies.  This will give the companies the chance to get to the next stage of development.  In addition, we’ll help the companies make the right connections.”
 
Any Israeli company who attended the Life Science Event on March 22 can take advantage of the Special Offer for a 6 month period following the event according to Myra.
 
Superb Location
Teqcorner is located just outside of Tyson’s Corner at 1616 Anderson Road in McLean, Virginia.  The building was designed to provide emerging businesses, corporations, and start-up entrepreneurs with flexible and affordable full service office solutions.  Teqcorner provides a unique ecosystem that combines flexible leasing agreements within a unique networking atmosphere with value-added services including concierge services, IT consulting, full-time receptionist, monthly networking events, speaker series, business mixers, and luncheons.
 
Teqcorner partners with organizations such as: Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC); Center for Innovative Technology (CIT); Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA), Century Club of George Mason University and the Virginia Israeli Advisory Board (VIAB) to bring additional resources and services to help is tenant clients emerge into successful companies, said Fitzwater.
 
Additional offer for Israeli companies not attending the Life Science Event
For Israeli companies not attending the March 22 event, Techcorner offers the “Virtual Office Program Offer” which includes the First Month Free and a special reduced monthly fee of $60.00 for each additional month for companies that sign up for a "Bronze Virtual Office Program" at Teqcorner.  "Any company serious about doing business with the Federal Government, must have presence in this market. We're the least expensive way to test the waters,” said Myra Fitzwater, Teqcorner LLC Sales & Business Development.
 
The $60 introductory offer is for the TeqCorner Bronze Virtual Office Program, said Fitzwater.  She noted that there are Silver and Gold Programs with additional charges.
 
For those graduating to “The Full Office Program”, the benefits include:
 
Fully furnished office suites from 130 s.f. to 2,800 s.f.
Flexible leasing terms – 3 to 24 months
