Welcome to the Community Business Incubator (CBI), a vibrant hub in San Diego that nurtures the flourishing tech and energy ecosystem. At CBI, our BizAssist program is dedicated to empowering a diverse group of young students through exceptional training and valuable resources, enabling them to thrive and expand their ventures.
To enhance the efficacy of our Start-up Business Assistance Training, we have partnered with the WeThrive education platform. This platform serves as a robust framework for implementing essential resources and deliverables, enriching the learning experience for our participants.
BizAssist offers a flexible approach to training, combining both in-person sessions and self-paced learning. With personalized one-on-one guidance from industry experts, we ensure that building entrepreneurs, owners, and professionals receive the tailored support they need to succeed.
CBI’s WeThrive Empower The Next Generation with our dynamic entrepreneurship programs – Come Be Inspired is designed to cultivate essential real-world skills like financial literacy and problem solving. From weekend workshops to year-long endeavors, our programs enable youth and young adults to create real companies, generate revenue, and make a tangible impact. Explore and allow our youth to thrive!
Lessons spark ideas, but this hands-on experience goes beyond the classroom. Students will need additional time outside of class to create & develop their business.
That’s why we are here. Register Today!
- Life Skills Implication
Youth Participants learn life skills such as goal setting, public speaking (which builds confidence), and personal finance. They practice these skills each session until they become a habit. Ultimately, we use the business creation solely as a vehicle to prepare our students to accomplish their goals and navigate a path of opportunity. - For Us, By Us
With passion driven by CBI’s personal experience, and WeThrive’s platform, our leadership serves as role models for entrepreneurs rising from undeserved communities. We use first-hand knowledge of the problems facing our communities to craft a uniquely engaging curricular approach that helps young people flourish even if they don’t connect with school. - Tech-Enabled
Powering locally committed programming with our own proprietary software, WeThrive is designed to grow quickly to help a generation of students unleash their intellectual and economic potential.
As individuals, we can succeed and do great things but to truly Thrive it takes a team. Individuals don’t make a difference, teams do.
That’s nowhere to be found more true than within the social cause this organization addresses, entrepreneurship – CBI is intentional about helping our youth and young adults create and start their own businesses.
CBI’s Business Assistance Program provides an innovative curriculum and program models carefully designed with WeThrive to reach those left behind in traditional classrooms. Youth learn critical real world skills like financial literacy, problem solving, leadership, and building social capital. Every youth participant receives seed funding, support towards launching their company, and post program support, ensuring that everyone is set up for success.
