The TEF is a cash grant that is tied directly to the number of jobs created and wages paid for the project. Capital investment is also considered.

• The ETF is a partnership with the state, whereas the state retains a vested interest in early stage companies.
• More than $190.5 million in ETF funds have been allocated to 133 early stage companies, and nearly $179.6 million in grant matching and research superiority funds to Texas universities.
