Why Un.Incubate?
Every week we meet women who have ideas for impact, but don't see themselves a entrepreneurs. Filmmakers, creatives, writers, nonprofit veterans and others. We think it's time to expand access to support those who the traditional incubators do not serve. It's time to empower their careers and lives in impact and measure success based on the longevity of their impact, not just on the speed of financial returns.
We also believe that the traditional incubator model: rigid in structure, singular in method, driven by investors, focused on learning from experts vs. collaborating alongside mentors and peers, is not an ideal path to build sustainable careers or impact-focused businesses. The Un.Incubator celebrates the very organic act of creating something meaningful.

We believe...
A successful career is one that brings along the whole being, aligning passion and purpose.
There is too limited a definition of social impact is, and how to do it.
There are too few resources for creators pursuing a solo career.
Providing a clearer and more collaborative path for creatives will allow them to find the courage they need
to move forward and the momentum to reach their goal of sustainability.
That profitability is not the singular measure of impact.
There is not a singular path to sustainability.
We believe that social impact can look like...
A documentary filmmaker telling the stories of under-represented communities
A female founder of a nonprofit helping domestic violence survivors
A musician connecting with people through their medium
A gallery owner creating opportunities for young artists
