Unlock Your Business Potential: Join the Antioch x ESO Business Incubator Program

Accelerate Your Business Growth 

In partnership with the City of Antioch, ESO’s free 10-week Operate Incubator is dedicated to equipping local entrepreneurs with tailored tools to drive business growth right in your own community. The Operate Incubator is designed to help existing Black and Latino owned businesses in Antioch optimize their operations, grow their revenue, and scale effectively. Surrounded by a supportive community of like-minded entrepreneurs, you’ll find strategies, tactics, and solutions to the unique challenges you face on your entrepreneurial journey. Our programming is specifically crafted to address these challenges, and our coaches are here to champion your vision while enhancing your skills, confidence, and business acumen for strategic expansion.

  • Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, industry experts, and potential collaborators. Our network is your network, providing you with valuable connections to propel your business forward.

  • Gain financial literacy and management skills directly from your mentors and fellow business owners. From budgeting to securing funding, ESO provides the resources needed to cultivate sustainable business models for long-term success.

  • Discover data-driven strategies to track, engage and retain customers. Happy customers are repeat customers, and we’ll give you our expert insights on creating an exceptional customer experience.
