The eSpace Incubator

The eSpace incubator is a resource unique in the nation for the creation and evolution of Entrepreneurial Space companies. We provide an environment for the aerospace entrepreneur that maximizes the probability of business success by providing a suite of resources to overcome the barriers to entry for eSpace companies. These resources include

 [+] physical space,
 [+] financial grants,
 [+] access to successful eSpace entrepreneurs as mentors,
 [+] access to investment capital and,
 [+] most importantly, access to aerospace infrastructure, relationships and manufacturing facilities.

We Are a High Yield Incubator

The companies that are a part of eSpace are carefully selected and expected to succeed. A Board of Advisors made up of experienced industry, entrepreneurial and academic veterans evaluates proposals submitted by prospective companies. Candidate ventures that (1) will be well-served by our incubator's capabilities and (2) have a high probability of success when partnered with eSpace are presented with a formal offer. Each of these offers is unique in what eSpace provides to the entrepreneur and in the compensation received for resources provided. These are individual contracts that establish the relationship of eSpace to the entrepreneur till the venture reaches break-even and beyond.
