In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, we wanted to share an article that Forbes Contributor Christopher Skroupa published nearly a year ago: “Leveraging Innovation Today for Tomorrow’s Company.” It talked about how every company should have their own incubator and/or accelerator program.

“I am more excited about companies such as Google, GE, Nike, and Tesla. They are experimenting outside their core business and investing in areas that make the world a better place. New business models will not emerge from existing ones, but will come from genuine new ideas, executed by brave people – and only very few will find traction in their various audiences. This is how start-ups strive, such as Twitter, AirBnB, Uber, Shazam, Dropbox, etc. For big companies though, behaving like a start-up is almost impossible. Therefore I admire those organizations, who find a way to create such a spirit. Look at what Google is investigating and investing: Calico, robotics, deep learning, balloon internet, Google Car and so forth. Every company should have their own incubator and / or accelerator program. Every company should work on their projects X, Y, Z.”

We love this idea and encourage any company in the Greater Hartford area that’s interested in pursuing this, to base their work out of the reSET Business Factory!
