What is the Entrepreneur Center?

The Entrepreneur Center fosters innovation by providing entrepreneurs with the resources to turn their ideas into sustainable companies.

How do I get involved?

The best way to get involved is to contact us to set up an initial screening to figure out how the Entrepreneur Center can specifically help you. Most conversations begin with, "What is your idea?"

Our members generally fall into Entrepreneurs, Mentors or Investors. Depending on how you wish to work with a startup company we want to help you get engaged.

Can I get desk space at the Entrepreneur Center?

Incubating companies have the option to purchase office space on a quarterly basis. You can apply to be an incubator on the incubator page and get some more information. Primary evaluation for inclusion in the EC Incubator Program is based on timeline to launch and business sector. We expect incubator companies to be able to successfully close investment funding within six months and those companies must fit within our target sectors, i.e. Health Care, Technology, Digital Media and Entertainment or Social Enterprise.

Who are the mentors and what kind of access would I have as a member?

Mentors are skilled professionals in the workplace who volunteer their time help entrepreneurs. As a member of the EC, you get access to the mentor directory and can schedule mentor sessions at the price of $100 for 3 sessions. Mentors fall into 3 categories as Startup Experts, Industry Experts and Knowledge Experts.

What kind of access will I have as a member?

As a member, you are welcome to come in and out during regular business hours and if approved as an incubator with desk space, you will have access to the building 24/7.
