Problem:
Business Incubators have traditionally focused on centralized facilities, to concentrate resources and focus services within four walls. But the entrepreneurial community is changing to a virtual model, which makes the old physical incubator look, well, “old.”

Solution:
A Virtual Business Incubator, that allows free access to resources and services, 24x7x365,over the web. Netwok consulting talent and service providers, create automated workflows, and identify scalability opportunities.

Surprise:
Coaches and consultants love the virtual model – it makes their lives easier, too! Tear down the (incubator) walls, and the breadth and depth of engagements are improved.

Work done on this project:
Performed all research and reporting. Developed incubation tracks, with onramps and offramps, stage-gates and alerts. Developed the distributed coaching model, and coordinated deployment with other entrepreneurial development organizations.
