PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

A new conflict of interest program at the University of Minnesota addresses concerns that arise when Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and/or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants could be used to fund a startup company based on a university technology.
