Sponsorship of On-Site Member Offices

$6,000/year for a three-year commitment – can be renewable

CVBI houses a total of 10 on-site members – five at its Launching Pad and five at its Claude Laval Water and Energy Technology (WET) Incubator. Only 10 local businesses have the opportunity to sponsor one of the offices used by CVBI’s on-site members. This will be a fun, interactive way for a business to financially support the services that on-site members receive (think of it as adopting a start-up). Sponsoring businesses and their employees can get actively involved with the on-site members and enjoy the process of helping others reach their business potential.

  • The on-site members’ sponsored office will have a plaque on its door
  • Your business name will be included in news releases which announce publicity-worthy activities related to the sponsored business
  • Your business logo and link to your Web site will be included on CVBI’s Web site
