About

Tacoma/Pierce County faces an enormous challenge: To rebuild the local economy under realities of COVID and post-pandemic conditions. An important lever for the community resides in entrepreneurs who will pursue an idea into an innovative product or service; start their emerging enterprise through engagement with suppliers and customers; and expand a business with the potential for growth.

Aspiring entrepreneurs who have traditionally been left behind in economic progress - minorities, women and recent immigrants in particular - are vital in the transformation of the marketplace to opportunity and economic health.

The William Factory Small Business Incubator, well-positioned as an experienced organization to take a leadership role in building a stronger economic environment in which underrepresented entrepreneurs gain access to and benefit from valuable resources to start and expand enterprises, provide high quality training and resources for early-stage entrepreneurs, including workshops, 1:1 counseling, mentor matchmaking, referrals to sophisticated business assistance providers and assistance from expert professionals.
