Olivia Carpenter is the Co-Facilitator of IncubatorWorks’ Business Plan Class and has been with IncubatorWorks since November. A former state champion in the 300-meter hurdles, Olivia brings that same determination and momentum to supporting entrepreneurs. She’s motivated by helping people take control of their lives and build something meaningful from their passions, believing everyone deserves the satisfaction of turning ideas into reality.
Olivia is also the owner of Via’s Cookies, a business she’s grown for over five years while giving back to the community through donations and by creating meaningful job opportunities within the community.
Outside of work, she enjoys calisthenics, painting murals, hiking to mountain summits, and attending Porchfest in Ithaca, where music fills every street.
One day, she hopes to shear sheep in Ireland. Her personal mantra—“Love, Justice, and Cookies for All”—perfectly captures her mission and spirit.
Co.Starters graduates will hear from her soon, she’ll email to see if you’d like to join the class. Feel free to reach out to her anytime for more information at ocarpenter@incworks.org! ... See MoreSee Less

✨ 7 Days of Small Business Cheer with IncubatorWorks ✨ Day 7: Community Impact Cheer 🧶💛
We’re wrapping up our 7 Days of Small Business Cheer by highlighting The Fabric Chicken, a creative community space founded by Co.Starters graduate Amy Thorsen.
Last week, Program Director Filomena Jack and Program Manager Jodi DeRico made a yarn donation to support the shop and its mission. The Fabric Chicken is a place where makers find community, beginners find confidence, and everyone finds high-quality secondhand art and craft supplies. It’s a beautiful example of how creativity can be accessible, sustainable, and joyful.
And yes, The Fabric Chicken accepts donations, helping keep creative materials in use and out of landfills!
