| The incubator's mission is to foster entrepreneurial education at Wake Forest and an entrepreneurial spirit in the Triad by providing personalized services and relationships to growth-oriented, early stage ventures. The incubator offers both resident and non-resident programs for early stage potential high growth businesses. It houses three to six resident clients. Clients are admitted on a rolling basis throughout the year. The goal of the incubator is to launch businesses that have the potential to create significant economic impact in the Triad through jobs and business investment. Businesses that have utilized the incubator have included multiple winners of the PTEN Growth Accelerator Program.
This program is one of the most successfully launched university-based family business centers. Participation includes five sponsoring organizations and 30 member companies representing more than 100 family members. Each year, the Family Business Center holds six or more programs that help our members create stronger families and more successful businesses. Recently, affinity roundtables were created to help participants explore in greater depth issues faced by senior generation and junior generation family members.
