FATHOMWERX, Port Hueneme
Ventura County supports business—and it shows through the county’s business incubators. Business incubators and accelerators help entrepreneurs, start-ups, and very early stage companies gain access to physical space, equipment, mentorship, capital, and other support to help speed their growth. That can also include anything from introductions to investors to invaluable networking opportunities with peers and experts. Typically, startups remain in an incubator for a defined period, after which they "graduate" and move out as more self-sufficient and established businesses.
