FAQs

Will you expand beyond your current locations?

That is our goal. We are starting one town at a time with the mission to make an impact on both rural and small towns in Colorado.

Why should I go to your incubator?

Our mission is focused on community growth and entrepreneur success, providing more tailored support, mentorship and resources that a profit-driven organization. This means the entrepreneurs in our space are prioritized over profit margins, ensuring long term success. Finally, we are focused on small towns because our clients want to run their business in their small town. Other spaces may be available in other larger cities but it won’t serve the community where you personally live.

What makes a good candidate for your incubator?

A good Candidate is someone passionate about their craft and is already exploring it either through a small catering or food truck business. They are dedicated to the local community, and want to take full advantage of the of the resources we provide at Small Town Catalyst for long term success.
