Collider Community Incubator Program
Collider Foundation is excited to open applications for its inaugural 12 week intensive incubator program, which will take place on Thursdays, April 4th through June 20th from 8:30-11:00AM. The application window will remain open until March 14th.
Since becoming a nonprofit in 2019, Collider has continued to evolve its services to best meet the needs of entrepreneurs within the community. Through many conversations with entrepreneurs over the past four years, we have uncovered a need for accessible, early stage education and connection to resources to help entrepreneurial starters create a strong foundation for growth. In particular, those who identify as women or minority founders have historically felt the most disconnected from and have more limited access to resources and knowledge in our community.
We began facilitating CO.STARTERS in 2021 to provide a foundation of business education to the entrepreneurial community. CO.STARTERS is a cohort-based program that equips starters of all kinds with the insights, relationships, and tools needed to turn business ideas into action, leaving graduates with a deeper understanding of how to create a sustainable business. While CO.STARTERS has been a great fit for this community, we found that the entrepreneurs that we were serving wanted and needed more.
Collider designed the incubator program to best serve CO.STARTERS graduates or individuals who received extensive 1:1 startup support from Collider, individuals with a tested business canvas or business plan, and those with a newly developed product or service who are ready to grow their sales. This program provides structure and continued support for entrepreneurs who are ready to keep moving forward with their business ideas and take that important next step to becoming a viable business. Through our incubator program, these individuals will develop the skill sets and relationships that will help them pursue economic freedom and improve their financial situation through entrepreneurship.
The 12 week incubator program will help participants go from a solid business model to the next steps, demonstrating that their idea has what it takes to become a viable business within the community. During this structured program, incubator companies will create an individualized plan to create a minimal viable product or service, or increase their sales. The incubator program also includes dedicated workshops, which are also open to the public, plus a cohort based model to connect participants to other like-minded individuals taking the same steps with their business.
