A History of Success

Once a collapsed parking garage, The Tech Garden is now an integral part of Central New York’s growing innovation and startup economy. Despite these humble beginnings, CenterState CEO’s The Tech Garden has surpassed the typical lifespan of a tech startup incubator.

Since its doors first opened in 2005, CenterState CEO has supported hundreds of firms, and invested millions of dollars in their growth through its programming. Tech Garden entrepreneurs are drivers of the region’s high-tech innovation economy.  

Several of those startups, such as Impel (attracting a $100+ million equity investment, expanding its headquarters in downtown Syracuse, and now employing 150), TCGplayer (a fast-growing tech company fueling the hobby gaming industry bought by eBay), and Density (Syracuse’s first “unicorn” valued in 2022 at over $1 billion), have grown to become significant players in their industries.
