DC's Un-Incubator and a Call for Your Input

 UPDATE: DC.gov has provided me with a list of vacant schools where we can create the ‘un-incubator’ discussed below!

dcgov.gifA while back I wrote about DC’s plans for a tech incubator and solicited survey responses from the community so your input could be included in what the DC government is planning.  Thank you to the hundred or so folks that provided input – the DC gov and the Washington DC Economic Partnership (WDCEP) heard you loud and clear.

In sum you said: “Yes a tech incubator is feasible in Washington DC and yes it’s in desperately needed!”

This project is gaining a head of steam and now I’ve been asked to do one more thing to try to push this over the edge – to get the ear of the Major and others in the city to move this from a study to a reality by finding out how many budding startups there are out there.

Included below is my plan for an “un-incubator” that could serve as the model for what would benefit all of DC tech:

DC’s Un-Incubator

HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART: If you are an entrepreneur and are working on a technology product/service/concept and think you might benefit from incubation services/funding etc.  please filling out the simple form below (or click this massive link) and your response will be included in the incubator plan and shown to the city government. WE NEED 50 or some compelling responses in the least, so please forward this post, blog it, tweet it, etc. for anyone one in the DC area who is a tech entrepreneur.

We need your voice now:
