What is WBI?

Did you know?
This year alone Westlake Innovation Fund is supporting more than 225 students in the Business Incubator and Accelerator classes, more than ever before. Since 2017, $20,000 in seed funding has been afforded to junior students to support their team business formations, we have invested over $32,000 in classroom support, and we have awarded over $100,000 in prize winnings at Pitch Nights.

And it’s paying off! Our young entrepreneurs ROCK. Our program sent our ‘23 Westlake Pitch Night winners Notifeye, a team of students who are solving distracted driving, to Chicago where they won the treasured top spot in that national contest! Another successful business in our program, SafeZone, will be hosting a “Stop Gun Violence” discussion at this year’s SXSW EDU Crossover Day!
 
More than just a class!
Ask any student who’s gone through our programs, and they’ll tell you this is way more than just a class. We’ve engaged more that 55 mentors and business coaches from the community this school year from all walks of life and from a wide range of industries for hands-on teaching, coaching and advising. This gives your kids hands-on experience with real professionals and allows them to learn valuable skills they can take with them wherever they go in life.
 
Community support is essential
All of this awesomeness, of course, requires some money.  We are tirelessly working to grow and enhance our program and offer more and more opportunities for our students. We pride ourselves on keeping program costs down, while keeping educational value up. And while we are proud of our relatively modest budget, we would be grateful if each family would consider offering financial support to help us keep funding all the great business ideas and innovations that come out of the program.
 
Fund future entrepreneurs
It’s easy. Support the Westlake Incubator HERE as an individual, family, as a group of families, or as a business. Sponsors enjoy optimal positioning with our community of engaged, entrepreneurial families, teachers, and businesses. Reach out to explore ways to partner with us!

We all love the Westlake Business Incubator program and are excited to continue to fuel the inspiration and innovation for entrepreneurial dreams for many years to come! We appreciate your consideration in financially supporting us.

Volunteers are our lifeblood
