Business incubator
Business incubator
An important component of the work we do at the Green Garage is our business incubation process. We meet once a week with a business owner, sometimes a business-in-residence and sometimes not, and take them through a roughly 16-week series of sessions that aims to find the core of the business and then guide them through a natural development process. This is a group process, usually involving about a dozen individuals from inside and outside the Green Garage, each bringing a unique talent and perspective to the process. We work to develop businesses that create economic, community and environmental value in the same action/activity. For more detail on our thinking please see our Growing 3D Businesses Naturally page.
Some of the businesses that have been or are going through this process include:
- BreezeCab
- Mend
- De-tread
- Great Lakes BioGrease
- Hostel Detroit Energy Efficiency Adventure
- The Social Club Grooming Company Adventure
