"BCC brings valuable expertise and energy to the start-up phase of young companies, and increases the chance of start-up success. I recommend them to my friends". - James Schellenberg, CEO Mentor
Your company benefits from BCC’s Business Incubation program through:
  
BCC's goal is to enable enhanced corporate, business, and product development to lead your business to success.
Mentoring, Coaching, and Participation
"I find the CEO mentor experience to be not only fulfilling from the point of view of seeing my experience helping a startup company and its staff successfully evolving its innovation to a product but I too gain skills and knowlegde toward refining how I provide that experience in a way meaningful to my clients." - Jeff Rohne, CEO Mentor
At BCC we don’t just help you write a business plan and hope for the best, we help you execute. Although you are in control, and the decision-maker for your company, we remain active players in accelerating you to revenue.
Co-operative executive management team
Start-up firms cannot often afford a complete and full-time executive management team, nor do they generally need one. One of the supports our client companies appreciate most is the BCC Co-Operative Executive Team.
Upon entering the BCC program, client companies immediately gain access to an experienced executive management team that helps you identify your milestones and success metrics. Applying BCC’s Commercialization Pathway against the Corporate Development, Business Development, and Product Development approach, your firm can identify the resources needed and timeframes required to reach success targets.
Professional Service Providers
Business opportunities are built by teams of people with specific skills. BCC fills some of the gaps with professional service providers in the areas of competitive intelligence and ICT administration. BCC
has also developed a Co-Operative Executive Management Team that brings essential executive skills into our client companies, but in a proactive and on-demand model.
Commercialization Pathway and External Review
The
commercialization pathway acts as a roadmap guiding you through the commercialization process building on Corporate Development, Business Development, and Product Development. The resulting work plans and activities benefit from external review by industry, finance, and technical experts ensuring your opportunity receives wide and deep reviews, resulting in a well defined product, aimed at an attractive market.
"BCC makes a lot of sense for new ventures - the improvement in control, decision making, and momentum is obvious with their clients." Cal Harrison, CEO Mentor
Your company will look professional housed in furnished labs or offices in a building designed to support good business practices. 24-hour security and card lock access protect all you are building and professional meeting rooms, facilities management, maintenance, and cleaning give the right impression.
At the end of the day, BCC provides you with a turn-key setup so you are ready for business on day one. Your participation in an "entrepreneurial environment" is also rewarding.
Desktop Business Tools
You access the front end tools needed to operate a business. For example, laptop computers and access to a professional-grade printer produce high end materials. VOIP phone systems and .com web addresses are all in place so you can operate professionally, but on a start-up budget.
BCC exists in large part because science and technology based firms experience difficulty securing early-stage investment capital.
We realize the significant difference between science and technology innovations and investable business opportunities. Our role is to dedicate the people and resources to help our clients become business opportunities.
To do so often requires some investment support from BCC. We invest in two ways:
A market price to assemble the level of supports typically received through the BCC program would exceed the capacity of a start-up firm. BCC therefore subsidizes our client firms and charges only a portion of actual cost.
Debt and Equity Investment
BCC will also accept convertible debt notes as a means of payment.
BCC’s fee structure is designed to produce a minimal impact on the cash position of our client companies.
