Looking Forward to 2019

(Jan 2019) - Spice Kitchen Incubator is seeing huge growth in programmatic services and small business scale-up opportunities. As we reflect on 2018, we sure have a lot to look forward to in 2019!

From November 2017-2018, Spice Kitchen Incubator entrepreneurs accessed 367 market opportunities, including Spice To Go, farmer's markets, catered events, and whole sale locations. Additionally, 1632 hours of subsidized-rate kitchen time was logged, significantly reducing total expenses for start-up businesses. Two cohorts were enrolled, including 16 entrepreneurs, totaling the number of entrepreneurs served to 60.
