ABOUT ROBICONNECT
The Nation’s Premiere Entrepreneurship Hub for underserved entrepreneurs, micro-enterprises and small business owners.
The Resident Owned Business Incubator (ROBI), exists to strengthen communities and help create local jobs by investing in underserved and under-resourced small business owners and entrepreneurs through capital, capacity-building education and networks of support. The goals of the ROBI program are to develop and adequately match qualified businesses with the contractors and or subcontractors that must meet federal Section 3 and First Source numerical quotas.
ROBI Program provides DC’s first-generation, under-resourced entrepreneurs, a full year of support which includes 15-weeks of intense classroom training, business planning and coaching, as well as marketing tools, networking opportunities, seed investment, and affordable shared office space at BAU Works. BAU Works is located on the BAU Washington DC campus (1510 H Street, NW) right next door to the White House.
The ROBICONNECT platforms unifies these efforts and allows ROBI to showcase their new graduates and the businesses they have birthed. Under-resourced entrepreneurs interested in the ROBI entrepreneurial training program should visit www.canilive.org/robi for details.
