Previous Week's Speaker: David Foster from BCICC Incubator

This weeks’s speaker was David Jordan, the Business Incubator Manager from CBICC. The incubator was started in 1983. Its mission is to accelerate and grow companies. Odds are 8/10 for companies succeeding who go though the incubator, far better than the odds for those who don’t. The incubator can link users with a wide variety of support services and help with strategic plans and business plants. There is an incubator at the Technology Center with 12 companies and one at Zetachron with four companies. Most of the companies are technology companies. The CBICC tries to pull companies from a university base. Time for companies in the incubator is currently three to five years. The upside is low cost rent, shared services, networking of services and access to Dave’s time as a consultant. The downside is that a lot of the companies don’t stay in the area after they get on their feet.

This week’s note taker: Rose Kauffman
