When startups are approved, they meet with the Incubation Manager to delineate aligned
short-term targets and craft a written Action Plan based on goals and benchmarks submitted
in their application. This collaborative process establishes agreed-upon, quantified objectives
for incubation support.
The resulting Action Plan serves as the roadmap for volunteer mentors to guide clients and
the standard by which the Manager tracks venture progress. It forms an integral component of
each client’s Service Agreement which outlines the mutual understanding between Prep and
Pave and the startup.
Entrepreneurs must consent to this living document and its periodic updating in coordination
with the Manager. The process ensures incubation services from Prep and Pave are deployed
strategically each step of the way to propel each client toward a trajectory of success over the
course of the program.
Agreement will be shared with clients after formal application and they must submit within
seven days after they have been officially approved.
