For many entrepreneurs, business incubators and accelerators are essential to success, particularly in the early stages of growth. They provide the workspace, education, and resources needed to gain traction. In addition to being a home base for many startups, they connect founders with mentorship, networking opportunities, and the tools that take a concept to market.
Utah’s resource-rich entrepreneurial landscape includes The Mill at Salt Lake Community College, an incubator that has helped countless startups build strong foundations and successfully scale.
As a business incubator, The Mill offers companies a collaborative working environment and a professional business address. Entrepreneurs can choose from coworking areas, dedicated desks, or private offices offering 24/7 building access. The workspaces have access to high-speed internet, essential office equipment, podcast studio, conference rooms, and more.
Memberships at The Mill include various benefits that support entrepreneurs at every stage, from educational workshops and business advising to funding opportunities and networking events. The Mill offers a supportive community for testing ideas, refining business models, and growing purposefully.
Over the years, The Mill has proven to be a launchpad for many successful companies. Startups like Social Good Software, GeoGlobal LLC, and NXC Systems have all emerged from The Mill, growing into revenue-generating businesses.
While The Mill Entrepreneurship Center is notable for its incubator program, it also houses key resources for entrepreneurs, including Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, Salt Lake Small Business Development Center, Minority Business Development Agency, Utah Veteran Business Resource Center, and The Mill’s Global Business Center.
With its blend of resources, mentorship, and community, The Mill is an example of the intentional support that exists in Utah. It showcases why so many businesses choose to start, grow, and thrive here.
