What People Say

“As one of the first occupants of The Underground business incubator program, it’s safe to say “it works!”, and it’s only getting better year after year. Our roots in the incubator program gave us many assets we continue to benefit from to this day... the facility, functions, resources, education, connections, networking and most importantly the friendships have all paved the way to our success and continue to be a part of our journey. The depth of resources and connections with groups like the EDA, Community Foundation, SBDC, SBA, Automation Alley, BAF, and key community figures cannot be overlooked as they are all team advocates for our continued success. Not only is the incubator program a part of our extended team, it’s also part of our story and our success. ”
