Blackfoot Boots Up Startup Lab In Montana

Missoula, Montana-based communications network operator Blackfoot, which provides voice, data, cloud, and related IT services, said this morning that it has launched a new "innovation lab" where it will help early stage startups. According to Blackfoot, C2M beta, its open innovation lab, will provide startups with access to Blackfoot's technology infrastructure, customers, and expertise. Blackfoot said companies will work with the company over a six month period, where pre-seed and seed stage startups will get access to a team, plus business, technical and project support. The new effort is being led by Joe Fanguy, who is VP of Strategic Development at Blackfoot.
