Incubator Intensive Program
Launch. Grow. Succeed.
What is the Incubator Intensive Program?
Five-Year Business Support Program
The Incubator Intensive Program is an intensive, five-year, tenant-based program designed to help guide entrepreneurs through the most critical periods of launching a business. Businesses rent commercial space on our 35,000 square-foot campus.
Work with the Entrepreneur In Residence (EIR)
Over your 3-5 year tenure, you will work with the on-site EIR regularly to identify challenges and growth strategies for your business. Monthly financial reviews will assist in developing a comprehensive understanding of your finances and strong bookkeeping practices.
Access to Classes, Consultants, Capital, & More
Tenants have access to our network of certified small business consultants who can assist on just about all business topics and may attend on-site classes at reduced rates. In addition, the campus houses programs that may assist eligible businesses with funding and business tax credits.

TENANT TESTIMONIAL
JT Crane Service
“The Business Incubator has been essential to the success of my crane business, including helping with my bookkeeping and building my web presence. I highly recommend the Leading Edge class for anyone interested in starting a new business. Without the Incubator, it would have been difficult, at best, to get my business off the ground. But, with their help, my crane business continues to grow and thrive, and I’m going into year three of my success story.”

Seeds Trust
“The Business Incubator Center has been the perfect new home for Seeds Trust in the Grand Valley. The resources available at the Incubator have helped us manage our significant growth through 2020 and we’ve been able to hire our first new seed apprentice! We have benefited from the Incubator’s enthusiastic support as we plan to build a greenhouse and raised beds on campus this Spring. As our small business continues to grow, we are grateful to have the guidance of the Incubator to help keep financially organized, learn new skills to keep our business practices developing, and keep a long-term vision in mind for our business and the impact it can have on our community.”
