Spaces

by Incolo

Physical places where founders, teams, family, and community gather to work and play.

What are Spaces?

Think of Spaces like retreat centers, but with amenities & experiences for the entrepreneurial community to get off grid from the daily grind. Spaces are a place to recharge & bond with those you’re building with, so you go back with a renewed purpose and focus.

What do founders say about their retreat experience?

Talking to other entrepreneurs and learning about how they fundraised, exit strategies, etc. I learn a lot from hearing others stories. It is beneficial for learning and making connections.

It’s important to talk about your founder experience and have people that can relate to the struggles. This is a great way to connect with people that are going through the same type of struggles you are.

I loved being able to meet other entrepreneurs I normally wouldn’t have met. I believe in the power of community, so I attended [Beach Bleisure] to expand networks and learn from others.

Why did Incolo Partner with North Cove’s Co-Founders?

To build a space the entrepreneurial community & families could retreat and call their own. Since we’re about community, instead of building on our own, we partner with fellow founders to build Spaces.

Who Operates & Owns Spaces?

Incolo co-operates them with fellow founders. They are in part owned by the community. At North Cove 50+ people invested between $300 and $200,000 each to become part owners in all 157 acres.
