Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

A Montana State University alumnus has been accepted into a highly competitive, national startup accelerator program that could help bring his product, a mobile app aimed at reducing drunken driving, to market.

Alex Crosby, a 2013 graduate of MSU’s Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship, is co-founder and CEO of HERO, one of 12 startup ventures selected in May from a pool of more than 500 applicants to participate in the 2016 Techstars program.

The Techstars program provides startups with $120,000 in funding, plus access to executive-level contacts in successful companies. Participants refine their businesses and market strategies to prepare for recruiting venture capital in order to significantly grow their companies.
