7. Our Extended Team
The STATS: 87% of incubator graduate companies are still around after 5 years; while the opposite
may be true for those who go it alone (www.NBIA.org). We believe this success is also attributed to
the strong teams and partnerships incubators can provide:
MENTORS are successful entrepreneurs, seasoned
executives and content experts who volunteer their time
to assist companies with team formation and ongoing
support.
SERVICE PARTNERS are trusted professional service
providers and local businesses that provide specific
project support (lawyer, accountant, research, etc.) to
AzCI companies at discounted rates.
AzCI provides an extensive network of mentors and
partners. If you would like to join our efforts, please
