How the Innovation Center Stands Out

Much higher service intensity

Where local business assistance services may spend an hour or two with a client, the Innovation Center’s long term, relationship-based engagement devotes numerous hours over a long enough time commitment to be truly effective.

A team of real-world-experienced practitioners deliver services

Where others employ counselors who may never have operated a venture, the Innovation Center employs practitioners who have real-world experience doing what their clients are now doing.

Turnkey delivery of services

Where other local services may each provide some small subset of the services a venture may require, the Innovation Center provides it all under one roof.

Focus on venture acceleration

Where others give general business advice or teach how-to-start-a-business, the Innovation Center is centered on helping ventures grow faster than they otherwise would.

Clients show commitment by paying for the value they receive

Where other services are often free, the Innovation Center asks that clients demonstrate their commitment and acknowledge the value they receive by paying at least a nominal fee.

Clients are in control of their own destiny and their business. They set the pace and intensity of the services and have control over the utilization of the coaching, acceleration, and other business support services.
