Case Study: Partnership for Community Development supports entrepreneurs with Proximity Space

Partnership for Community Development grows the TIA Incubator with Proximity and a $625,000 grant

The customer, the Partnership for Community Development, faced the challenge of an underutilized incubator space for the Colgate University entrepreneurship program, which sat empty for significant periods, especially when students were on campus. The organization partnered with Proximity Space to better manage and activate the TIA Incubator as a coworking space for both students and local entrepreneurs.

Proximity provided its platform to help manage the space, which was equipped with key amenities. The solution successfully fostered a vibrant, diverse community of business owners and students. A key result was the securing of a $625,000 grant to fund a full-time director and expand programming. The space became a hub for successful ventures, with members running businesses like a marketing firm and a clothing company while still in school.
