The Incubator Journey
At The Perch, we proudly host three dynamic tiers of vendors, each designed to foster growth and success in the entrepreneurial journey.
Each tier is not just a level; it's a stepping stone toward entrepreneurial success, creating an inspiring ecosystem where creativity and innovation take flight!
Flight Starters enjoy access to essential educational programming with minimal required elements, providing them the opportunity to participate in exciting events like the Soar and Savor Showcases.
Flight Starters represent the foundational tier of vendors at The Perch, designed to support aspiring entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of their business journey. Flight Starters have access to essential educational programming that equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship.
What sets Flight Starters apart is their ability to participate in exciting events like the Soar and Savor Showcases, where they can present their offerings to the community and receive valuable feedback. As they gain experience and confidence, many Flight Starters aspire to grow and eventually move up to the Nest Builder or Perch Partner tiers, making their time at The Perch a crucial stepping stone toward long-term success in the entrepreneurial landscape.
Nest Builders showcase their products on the general shelves of our vibrant Commerce Cove and offer grab-and-go items near the Nesting Grounds.
Nest Builders form the essential second tier of vendors at The Perch, serving as a vital bridge between aspiring entrepreneurs and established Perch Partners. These vendors are strategically positioned to showcase their products on the general shelves of our lively Commerce Cove, as well as offering grab-and-go items near the Nesting Grounds.
As Nest Builders, these entrepreneurs benefit from an environment that fosters growth and learning. They are required to attend educational programming, which includes workshops, seminars, and networking events designed to enhance their business skills and industry knowledge. By participating in these programs, Nest Builders gain insights into effective marketing strategies, financial management, and product development, all essential components for scaling their operations.
Perch Partners represent the pinnacle of our vendor community, enjoying dedicated booths on-site where they operate independently.
Perch Partners are the highest tier of vendors at The Perch, embodying the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. These select vendors operate dedicated booths on-site, allowing them to showcase their unique products and culinary creations in a vibrant, bustling environment. As Perch Partners, they enjoy the autonomy of managing their booths while benefiting from the extensive resources and support offered by The Perch community.
To maintain their esteemed status, Perch Partners must adhere to rigorous compliance requirements, including full participation in educational programming designed to enhance their business acumen and operational skills. Additionally, they must follow specific operating guidelines that promote quality, safety, and customer satisfaction, reinforcing the integrity of their brands.
A key aspect of being a Perch Partner is the dedication to a growth plan, which outlines their trajectory toward expanding their businesses. This plan is not merely a formality; it serves as a roadmap for their ambition to eventually transition to their own brick-and-mortar locations.
