Partners

Our core belief is that collaboration across the innovation ecosystem is the best way to help entrepreneurs, grow our city's economy, and transform the narrative of our region.

 

We have deep respect for the incredible diversity of entrepreneurial support organizations in our city and we are honored to partner with an incredible group of innovation leaders.  

 

We have found that having formalized partnerships is the best way to have the greatest impact, achieve our mutual goals, and streamline efforts on both sides. We would love to explore what a partnership would look like with your organization and how we can help each other succeed and grow.
