business incubation
This is our subsidized membership for startups in the greater Springfield area. Our business incubation membership type is ideal if you're looking to execute an idea and turn it into a business, or if you're pivoting and your current model needs a refresh. Included in the cost of your monthly membership, you'll receive access to expert advisors, professional development programming, and the opportunity to receive strategy from expert advisory panels to help you grow your business. Incubated businesses are required to participate in at least three in-house professional development workshops a year and submit economic data on an annual basis.

membership perks.
Membership with Innovate Springfield is pretty much the best, for all the reasons. Some of the greatest perks of being an iSPI member are:
-
Location! Location! Location! We are located in the heart of downtown Springfield, IL on the Old State Capitol Plaza and just blocks from the train station.
-
Cool Vibes. See if our cool vibes, meeting rooms, and workspaces inspire you to work at your highest level like they do for us!
-
Office Amenities. At Innovate Springfield, we've got that good WiFi, and that good copier. We also provide mail intake, shred services, and basic office supplies in a spacious workroom.
-
Community. The members that we serve are super-stars and we love coming to work with them every day. While most all of the members in our community are a team of one, when you join Innovate Springfield it feels more like a team of 101 [when you add yourself to the mix].
-
Coffee. Tea. We have Custom Cup Coffee, and Whimsy Tea Company teas flowing every day.
-
Resources + Programs. Our expert advisors and professional development programs are designed to support your personal, professional, and concept growth, regardless of where you are in your process.
