Covington-based Aviatra Accelerators, an entrepreneurial nonprofit that supports women-owned startups and small businesses, launched a new accelerator adjacent to the organization’s current offices.
Aviatra’s current offices are at 114 W. Pike St., which has been its home since 2016. The organization’s new accelerator will expand into a neighboring space at 112 W. Pike St. The incubator will provide Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky entrepreneurs with the resources, mentorship, and community they need to advance their businesses.
The Aviatra Incubator will offer:
- Below-market-rate dedicated office space for six women-owned businesses.
- Co-working space for women business owners.
- Rentable pop-up retail space for women entrepreneurs to showcase their products.
- Versatile event space for any company or individual holding meetings, classes, retreats, or other professional gatherings
- Membership in Aviatra’s paid community.
“Our goal is to foster an ecosystem of mutual support and level the playing field for women-owned businesses,” Aviatra CEO Jill Morenz said in a press release. “Many early-stage female entrepreneurs don’t have easy access to the resources they need to start and accelerate their businesses, such as affordable office space, funding opportunities and experienced mentors. The incubator aims to reduce those barriers and address some of the specific challenges women face in entrepreneurship.”
