Washington Association of Small Business Incubators

WASBI's New Website

We're glad you found our website - we are still under construction so please be patient. For information not yet available, please e-mail or call us.

What WASBI Is

• WASBI is a not-for-profit association of small business incubators in the State of Washington, serving both its members and those communities that are considering small business incubation.

• Small business incubators nurture new businesses through "the valley of death," the first two years in which most new businesses fail.  By helping new businesses to succeed and grow, small business incubators help grow jobs.

WASBI's Purposes

1. To articulate the benefits and cost-effectiveness of business incubation and advocate the needs and interests of small business incubators before legislative and administrative branches of local, state, and federal governments.
2. To create jobs and foster entrepreneurship statewide by supporting an increase in the number and effectiveness of Washington small business incubators and regional incubator consortia that nurture new businesses or commercialize new technologies. 
3. Form partnerships with large corporations and private foundations that have an interest in spinoffs and forming incubators.
