Organizers were anticipating 75 to 100 to attend last week’s Peachtree Corners new business incubator sneak peek. Instead, the event drew nearly 200 who were eager to learn more about the city’s plans.
Entrepreneurs, business and community leaders came to learn more and to sign up for a seat in the new 12,000 square-foot space where the new incubator will be housed. The former office space, located directly below City Hall, is currently being renovated to accommodate the new incubator, which has been named Prototype Prime.
The city is partnering with Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center for the incubator that’s expected to be ready to open in July. The Georgia Tech program offers support by providing expertise and resources in launching and maintaining a successful incubator program.
The incubator will provide space and access to education, tools, venture capitalists and more to help entrepreneurs launch and scale their startups. The main goal of an incubator is to produce successful firms with the potential to create jobs, revitalize neighborhoods and strengthen local economies.
