Incubators provide an environment where small businesses can receive education, technical assistance, office space, share administrative support, work collaboratively, and form valuable network partnerships for financing and other professional services.

We serve all small businesses, with a special focus on minority and women owned-companies. The goal of incubation is to produce successful graduates so that they are financially viable and freestanding when they leave the incubator. Most businesses participate in our program for 3-5 years and then "graduate".
