Business Incubator Programs are a proven and effective model for successful business creation and growth. Nationally, only 25% to 40% of business start-ups survive their first year. However, 87% of businesses succeed when they are launched in an incubator setting.

The greenhouse metaphor is often used to describe incubator programs: they are places designed to create a supportive, low cost environment in which new and emerging businesses can more easily grow and thrive.

Based on successful national models, Hannah Grimes’ Business Incubator Program brings together a core of three essential success factors:

Education and Support

Strong small business educational programming including workshops, seminars and multi-part entrepreneurial programs

Professionally facilitated peer-learning where Associates share and learn together

Accountability to business and revenue goals that fosters a strong commitment to the success of your business

Collaboration and Networking

Exceptional professional networking opportunities including Hannah Grimes-sponsored Chamber of Commerce and nonprofit-focused functions, in-house art gallery openings, our annual CONNECT Event, and participation in Hannah Grimes’ workshops and seminars

Collaboration with like-minded entrepreneurs: one of the most significant benefits reported by businesses participating in the Business Incubator Program is the support, positive energy and knowledge shared among all the program Associates
