Incubator Preps Entrepreneurs To Solve 21st Century Problems
The Halcyon Incubator is working to solve 21st century challenges by helping social entrepreneurs. Through a competitive process, social entrepreneurs pitch Halcyon for a spot in the three-stage incubator program.
The first stage is residency, where fellows live and work at Halcyon surrounded by like-minded innovators in a collaborative setting. In the second stage, the fellows move out, but continue work at the Incubator, accessing strategic, legal and PR resources. In the final stage called the “incentivized phase,” the fellows transition to the WeWork Wonder Bread Factory building in Washington, D.C. at reduced rates, while still being able to access Incubator events and programming as they scale their venture.
Halcyon is presently accepting applications for the next cohort.
On August 19, 2014 at 1:00 Eastern, Program Manager Ryan Ross will join me for a live discussion about the program. Tune in here then to watch the live interview.
