Food entrepreneurs who want to make a profit have to learn how to successfully package, market, and sell their products, and that’s where food incubators come in.
The Catapult Kitchen Incubator is designed for start-up food entrepreneurs who are seeking to launch, grow, and scale their businesses. The Catapult Kitchen Incubator is considered to fall under the category of “scratch kitchen,” meaning that members minimize the use of convenience products and prepared components in order to craft each product using the highest-quality, fresh ingredients.
The primary focus at The Catapult Kitchen Incubator is to provide subsidized commercial kitchen space, coupled with resources for permitting, access to mentors, and discounted educational opportunities. Catapult’s goal for its members is to launch into a space of their own within six months to three years.
The concept is marketed ideally for entrepreneurs in the realm of packaged food products, pre-restaurant or pre-bakery concepts, who are looking for space and resources to grow their business.
