• INCUBATOR 1
Ventura Partners' predecessor, 3-D Ventures, acted in the role of
Business Development Coordinator for the Santa Cruz Community
Housing Corporation in developing and implementing an incubator
program involving two mixed-use projects in the city of Santa Cruz.
One project, located in the central business district, was experiencing economic difficulties after the Loma Prieta earth-quake.
The second, located in the "Beach Flats Area" of the city near the municipal beach and the Boardwalk, was surrounded by an neighborhood characterized by dilapidated low income housing with very few neighborhood services, and which is severely impacted by tourist traffic during peak seasons.
The first floor of each of these projects contained commercial space dedicated for use by start-up businesses owned and operated by low-income local residents, with the goals of enhancing the economic base of the areas in question and creating business ownership opportunities for individuals un-able to enter the mainstream due to social or economic barriers.
3D Ventures provided provided these services in its work:
PREPARING, TRAINING AND SELECTING BUSINESSES
• Conducted preliminary training in small business start-
up and operation to 30 individuals, the majority low-income.
• Provided direct technical assistance to 24 low-income
individuals in preparing feasibility analyses of their propos-
ed businesses.
