INC.spire Business Incubator

The INC.spire Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 subsidiary of the chamber, and works closely with the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce to offer three key program segments: an incubator program; a business education series; and a student education program. The INC.spire Business Incubator Program is a catalyst for qualified, fast-growing businesses. The chamber offers in-house space, mentorship, and support to local startup companies. Since 2002, INC.spire has assisted four dozen entrepreneurs who have gone on to create over 500 jobs in the Reston area. These firms have generated $45 million in business value and have occupied more than 80,000 square feet of commercial office space in Northern Virginia. In 2012 the chamber began to offer a Virtual Incubator Program to meet the needs of startups where they currently operate, offering in-person mentoring and consulting services from the Chamber membership to startup companies that don't reside in the Chamber's physical incubator space.
