Startup Incubators

Successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a startup company will stay in business for the long term: older studies found 87% of incubator graduates stayed in business, in contrast to 44% of all firms. Some incubator success stories include Airbnb, Dropbox, and Heroku. 

On this episode we are privileged to be joined by Taylor Hazelhurst, director of a new type of incubator, Creative Factory (www.nothingistoobig.com), located in West Palm Beach, FL. Taylor will tell us about their extremecubator concept which uses a factory model to produce successful startups. We’ll talk about the processes used in the Creative Factory including:

• Tooling - how the right tooling gets the job done quicker and cheaper
• Planning - blueprints for success
• Assembly - managing the project
• Fulfillment - scaling and marketing beyond the startup phase
