COUNCILMEMBER POSTON said she attended the sessions, and they were well-received. This is a
good investment for the small businesses of Chandler, and it was nice to see metrics of success.
Councilmember Poston asked if there are any targeted businesses to be included in the incubator,
and what the expectations of incubator businesses would be.
MS. SLICE said we did reach out to various ventures in Chandler asking to engage, and many were
engaged in the Embark series; as well as Legacy ventures who did show up to support. We are still
having an open call for innovators. Everyone who applies is now part of the incubator and has
access to these resources. Programs have been built around the needs of community
entrepreneurs.
COUNCILMEMBER POSTON asked what the next steps after the incubator are.
MS. SLICE emphasized having a hyperlocal approach to the incubator – if we can give them the
resources, support, and community connections it will be valuable for them to stay here. We are
focusing on finding ventures embedded within the community with goals aligned to Chandler. Our
focus is on the community not incubation.
COUNCILMEMBER POSTON asked about the goal number of 1,000 visits.
MS. SLICE said 1,000 unique visits which is a lofty goal but achievable. Other incubators have
served 2,200 innovators who have engaged with the resources.
COUNCILMEMBER POSTON looked forward to hearing more about the program.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART said that the vision that we have for innovation is coming to fruition.
Councilmember Stewart asked about the 1,000 Venture Devils in connection with the program.
MS. SLICE said that there are more than 1,000 Ventures served through the J. Orin Edson
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute, have been provided resources within this network.
This includes community, faculty, and staff and participants of Chandler Endeavor. Every semester
we give away $3,000 - $4,000 of non-dilutive funding donated by angel investors that support the
Page 10 of 15
program. We are committed to connecting people who want to give back to their community with
startups.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART thanked staff for working to build this program.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS asked why implementing this program has taken so long.
MS. SLICE responded that the ASU Chandler Innovation Center has been operating for a while.
The incubation program has been underneath a separate contract. Part of the challenge has been
funding this model. Entrepreneurial programs are usually funded by outside partners.
COUNCILMEMBER ELLIS emphasized that the community involvement is key in this program and
looked forward to seeing more.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS commented that Chandler entrepreneurs will expect results from this
new program. Councilmember Harris looked forward to seeing the program move forward and
made a point that marketing this program will be essential. We have not seen the results come
forward.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked what the strategy was for maintaining interest of participants.
MS. SLICE answered that there are multiple strategies at play. Programs are designed to be
asynchronous to benefit entrepreneurs who are operating at different points in their journey.
Moving forward the programs are designed to be universal. The plan is to get more detailed and
increase outreach into the community. Increased promotion of the program will be a partnership
between ASU and community leaders. The more intentional we are in our communication finds
key success stories. On average, entrepreneurial ecosystem building take 20 – 25 years, this is a
long-term investment.
MAYOR HARTKE said he is pleased to see the space being used. We are eager to join ASU in this
project.
