Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation submitted a project in 2013 for an Innovation Ecosystem assessment which has since transformed into the INSTIG8 program for startups and entrepreneurs. INSTIG8 is the region’s center for quality entrepreneurship training, scale-up services, and innovation. INSTIG8 was initially sponsored by the Windham County Economic Development Program (WCEDP). This program strategically fosters a safe environment for creative entrepreneurs to try, fail, learn, build, explore, and connect to other like-minded individuals while developing their business concepts and models. It encompasses a series of workshops, events, and co-working opportunities. This original CEDS Vital Project continues to grow and add programming and funding and has interacted with 145 businesses/entrepreneurs to date.
