Colorado Small Town Business Catalyst:
A Fresh Approach to Developing Colorado’s Small Town Entrepreneurs and Economies
Fueling Local Dreams, Building Thriving Businesses
Small Towns Challenges
Small towns in Colorado face significant challenges in fostering sustainable economic growth and supporting local entrepreneurs due to limited access to affordable commercial spaces, resources, and business support services. This lack of infrastructure inhibits small business creation, particularly in food service industry, where high startup investment and risks often lead to high failure rates. Small Town Catalyst aims to address these issues by providing incubation spaces, mentorship and vital resources to empower entrepreneurs, stimulate local economies and strengthen communities.
Providing amazing space to express local talent
In Colorado’s competitive real estate market, finding affordable space to rent or purchase is a major obstacle for aspiring restaurant owners. By securing and developing dedicated buildings, Small Town Catalyst offers a unique solution, allowing emerging restauranteurs to overcome these challenges. Our incubation space enables them to launch and grow their business at just 25% of the average cost of opening a full-scale restaurant, providing a crucial stepping stone towards long-term success.

“Moving from our successful food truck to owning our own restaurant was extremely hard and was much bigger than I expected. Using the approach Small Town Catalyst has created would have been amazing.”
