AVM Group\u2019s Flagship Incubator
The structured pathway from technical credential to operating company. Everything the classroom never covered\u2014business formation, finance, sales, hiring, and scale\u2014delivered through mentorship, cohort learning, and real-world application.
What GROW Stands For
Four principles that define every decision we make and every founder we serve.
Generating
New enterprises from existing talent. Founders, not just employees.
Resilience
Economic strength that compounds across families and generations.
Ownership
Business ownership as the vehicle for lasting community wealth.
Workforce
Growing Connecticut's workforce from within—by creating the employers.
From Credential to Company
A 12-month structured incubation that transforms technical professionals into operational business owners.
The Logic Is Simple
We Start Where Training Stops
Tech schools build skill. Apprenticeships build experience. We build the company around both.
Multiplier, Not Addition
One founder creates five jobs. Five founders reshape a neighborhood. That's compound community impact.
Ownership Transfers Wealth
A paycheck builds a life. A business builds a legacy. Generational economics require generational thinking.
Capital That Creates Employers
Every tier is structured around measurable founder outcomes\u2014businesses registered, revenue generated, jobs created.
Seed Funder
Sponsor one aspiring founder through the complete incubator curriculum.
Cohort Architect
Underwrite an entire cohort—from intake to business launch—in a targeted industry.
Institutional Partner
Anchor the incubator's expansion across multiple industries and regions.
The Talent Exists. The Ambition Exists.
The Incubator Is Ready.
We\'re looking for funders who understand that the highest-ROI workforce investment isn\'t another training program\u2014it\'s the infrastructure that turns trained talent into employers.
