 Community Renaissance Market is a 60,000 square foot building repurposed into a microbusiness incubator containing 40+ businesses, an accessible technology training and placement program for people with disabilities, and an apprentice training program for foster children ages 18-22 as part of Foster Apprentice Training Enterprises. Community Renaissance Market has been profiled in Community Impact News; Austin Business Journal; News 8; Channel 24 News; ABC World News with Diane Sawyer; an upcoming "Entrepreneur" series on KLRU/PBS; and will be featured on a reality show filming June 2011 expected to air Fall 2011.
To better reflect the purpose of CRM to incubate businesses which meet the criteria of 'Sustainable Local Organic Work', we have begun the trademark process for the “SLOW Tech Incubator™” concept in which businesses are positioned for sustainable success since they reflect the local community needs.
Even during this economic downturn, CRM is succeeding. We are revitalizing an old building, creating community and, most importantly, we are positioning more people for a sustainable financial future.
We appreciate any advice you can impart to help us bring this to a larger audience. We are happy to speak with anyone about the CRM solution, please share this message with anyone you believe would be interested. Please feel free contact us directly if you would like more information.
