Launched by Rob Wotton of Umpqua Bank and Walt Nelson at Nelson Consulting Group the SVIC's not-for-profit mission is to act as a business accelerator promoting and supporting entrepreneurship. Our goal is to help new enterprises launch in the Valley and assist existing businesses with innovative thinking and creative problem-solving. No cost mentoring/coaching sessions, strategic relationships (universities, Chambers of Commerce, etc.) and internships for Mt. Si High School students are some examples of the help available. Start-ups and existing businesses both benefit from informal Innovation Friday Zoom calls at noon. These networking and sharing sessions help uncover resources, spawn ideas and brainstorm solutions. All are welcome to this come-as-you-can session. Post Covid, these will be hybrid meetings in downtown North Bend community room, too.One key partnership and growing resource is the SnoValley Jobs Board. https://snovalleyjobs.com/ This rapidly expanding site is connecting local employers and job seekers.
