Incubation
INCUBATION
A startup incubator is a collaborative program whose purpose is to help new startups that are at a very early stage grow and succeed.
The Program
No matter what phase of the cycle your business is in, ChicoSTART will guide entrepreneurs through a tailored incubation program. Accepted applicants will be equipped with the tools to launch, build, and grow a sustainable business. One size does not fit all – we help you lift from where you stand – from ideation to self assessment to research and MVP – even intro’s to accelerators if and when you get to that stage of growth.
The Application
Apply for our incubation program to give you the expertise and resources you need to move your business from ideation to revenue. Once you have filled out the application a ChicoSTART team member will contact you and determine whether you will be accepted into the program.
The Process
Application, assessment, and then acceptance will be based on readiness and availability of resources. If accepted into our program, there is placement (based on case-by-case assessments), incubation program curriculum and deliverables, mentoring and milestones. Our goal is to help entrepreneurs reach new heights and start building their business they want.
