Food Innovation Network a program of Global to Local

Food Innovation Network (FIN)'s Incubator program supports local food businesses in the diverse communities of SeaTac/Tukwila and South King County. The incubator program is housed at Spice Bridge, kitchen space and food hall in Tukwila, WA.

About

In 2017, Food Innovation Network (FIN) launched our Food Business Incubator to help South King County women of color and immigrants start and grow food businesses. 

Based out of Spice Bridge, a food hall and commercial kitchen in Tukwila, WA, the Incubator provides direct support and resources needed for immigrant and refugee women entrepreneurs to launch and scale successful small food businesses. Participants incubate businesses for up to two years, receiving culturally sensitive business support and growing a peer network. We assist entrepreneurs with permits, subsidized kitchen and retail rent (at Spice Bridge), connections to market channels, and coaching on food industry standards. Participants attend monthly trainings and one-on-one business advising sessions. To be eligible participants must live in South King County (south of Seattle and north of Pierce County) and meet our “business ready” requirement.
