The Lewis Innovation Hub houses an incubator at Lewis University, geared towards young entrepreneurs and small business owners like you. Our hub offers access to customized resources, on-going mentors, student interns, and an engaging community that promotes achievement through togetherness.

Our community-driven mindset and openness excels us as a prominent business development hub. Lewis Innovation Hub is ready to expand your business pursuits into something tangible and grow it to its grand potential.
How it Works
We’ve adopted a three-phase, two-year program that allows us to launch your idea into a business.
Pursue
Pursue
Each process begins with an assessment to determine the ways Lewis Innovation Hub can offer our greatest support. From there, our pursue phase will tackle the foundations of your business, which includes refining the market for the product or service, conducting industry and market tests, building a revenue model, working to develop a prototype, developing powerful messaging and content marketing, and identifying and attracting customers.
Launch
Launch
The second phase of our program essentially leads your business venture from idea to impact. This phase involves focusing on solutions that matter most to customers, engineering your brand, developing and sharpening your selling skills, building relationships with suppliers, defining pricing and distribution channels, setting up legal structure, recruiting, hiring, and managing employees, integrating technology and creating and perfecting the investor pitch.
Scale
Scale
Once your business is established and launched, it’s now time to take it to another level of success. This process includes identifying local funding incentives, creating an advisory board, creating business partnerships, implementing processes, identifying growth strategies and developing a financial management plan to support expansion.
