Double Start-up

You know that feeling you get when you are getting ready to leave on a great vacation?  You have great expectations about the fun and adventure of the days ahead. You are in a good frame of mind, happy, and ready to go. Starting a new company seems similar to that feeling, at least based on my observation of the owners of two new start-ups that I am working with right now.  Their enthusiasm is almost touchable.

The funny thing is that I can relate because I am involved in starting an incubator and cowork space to support these start-ups.  The whole venture is exhilerating as we work through the details, conduct interest sessions, talk with potential start-ups, and share the news with others.  We are building mutual enthusiasm as we talk.  We all know that there's a risk involved.  We know that no matter how carefully we plan, it is very likely that the reality may be a bit different from what we anticipate, but we are ok with that.  We can adapt. 

The beauty of this initiative is that we are partnering with Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation and some private companies to put together these support structures for new businesses.  It's an exciting time in Old Town, South Carolina.
