Incubator

We want this common-sense business model to go viral. So yes, we want to support our graduates to start their own businesses in trades that will contribute to more infrastructure being built AND repaired. Builders, Gardeners, Farmers, Water Catchment systems, plasterers, handy-people and all the business trades that help manual laborers to stay healthy and active. We create spaces and infrastructure to support them to succeed. Building good businesses is part of our design.

By sharing ideas and resources in co-working spaces, we become more than the sum of our parts. We become an actual business incubator for sustainable and regenerative entrepreneurship.

In addition to collaborating on developing businesses for the infrastructure for survival, (buildings, water systems, growing, harvesting and preparing food,) there will be opportunities for each student/resident to engage in developing their unique contribution.

There will be an industrial kitchen in the common building that can be used as a maker’s space for food products for sale, soap and candle making, non-toxic body products or for cooking videos or other digital content creation.

There will also be a more industrial maker’s space with tools for the fabrication of things like cargo trailer retrofitting, plumbing, electrical, welding and tiling.

Propagation and sale of native plants, a food-forest nursery and succulents would be a dream come true.
