Overview of Strategies:
Incubate fills an unmet need. Currently, there are little efforts in Mid-Michigan that provides support to this age group while actively working to create an entrepreneurial community. Incubate fills this need.
There are several young and passionate individuals who have great business ideas. However, many are unsure of how to proceed. Incubate helps equip these individuals to move forward by teaching the process of evaluating, refining, and launching their ideas.
Incubate is timely. There are several young people who are unable to find work locally and are exploring moving out of state. These young people are more likely to stay if they can pursue their natural interests and create their own job. We hope to provide inspiration for individuals to follow their dreams.
Young people are also more likely to stay if they are a part of an active and passionate community that supports them. Incubate will help foster an entrepreneurial community by bringing passionate and talented individuals together. This type of community energizes and excites people through the synergies that are created.
