Economic Development Through Entrepreneurship
The Central Valley Business Incubator, fueled with community resources, helps startup companies launch successfully. A public/private partnership, CVBI creates an entrepreneurial community where people learn how to balance their passion and ideas with the structure of running a successful business.
CVBI offers business development services and houses five on-site members at each of its two facilities – the Launching Pad for mixed-use incubation, and the Claude Laval Water and Energy Technology (WET) Incubator.
A nonprofit organization created in 1996 with the goal of fostering economic development through entrepreneurship and job creation, CVBI has worked with more than 3,400 entrepreneurs who have obtained more than $20 million in capital and created 2,030 direct, verifiable new jobs for Central Californians.
