The INC.spire Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 subsidiary of the Chamber, and works closely with the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce to offer three key program segments: our Incubator Program; a Business Education Series; and a Student Education Program.
The INC.spire Business Incubator Program is a catalyst for qualified, fast-growing businesses. We offer in-house space, mentorship and support to local startup companies. Since 2002 INC.spire has assisted four dozen entrepreneurs who have gone on to create over 500 jobs in the Reston area. These firms have generated $45 million in business value and have occupied more than 80,000 square feet of commercial office space in Northern Virginia.
In 2012 we expanded to offer our Virtual Incubator Program to meet the needs of startups where they currently operate – virtually in internet space. We will continue to offer in-person mentoring and consulting services from our Chamber membership; however incubated companies do not need to use our physical office space in order to participate in the program given the latest technological advances.
