Today was all about celebrating growth Growth of our graduates. Growth of IncubatorWorks programming. Growth of our incredible staff, who give so much to the communities we serve.
Our team gathered for a celebratory lunch at Solera Tap House, co-owned and co-operated by IncubatorWorks graduate Connor Evans. Connor completed Co.Starters Cohort #1 alongside our Makerspace Coordinator, Ed Bond—over six years ago! It felt fitting to celebrate in a space that reflects what we do best: fostering an entrepreneurial community.
We took this time to honor Terel Marshburn, our Chemung County Program Manager. Terel has:
✅ Co-Facilitated our Business Plan Class, helping 24 entrepreneurs build their businesses (while awarding $72,000 in participant support stipends on behalf of New Energy New York). ✅ Mentored participants in Co.Starters cohorts, the Summer Youth Entrepreneurship Program, Corning Community Colleges EOP program, and Elmira High School students through the Junior Achievement pitch competition ✅ Supported our Makerspace and managed the Elmira Incubator
While this lunch was a “see you later” to Terel as he steps into his new role as Director of Economic Development in Oneonta (#otsegonow), it’s not goodbye. We are thrilled to continue collaborating with him in the economic development space.
In just six years, IncubatorWorks has hosted 19 cohorts—with Cohort #20 launching in two weeks!
