About the Prototype Incubator

Since 2019, Prototype PGH has incubated over 50 organizations led by women, people with marginalized gender identities, and low-income individuals. The Prototype PGH Incubator Program operates out of our warehouse in North Oakland as well as our second location in Sharpsburg, and engages participants from surrounding neighborhoods including the Hill District, Homewood, Polish Hill, Bloomfield, East Liberty, and Larimer. Our incubator is free of charge for participants and offers specialized training, support, and mentorship tailored to each cohort. Prototype’s Incubator program specifically targets businesses in the earliest of stages, to help them shape their idea in preparation for incubators that serve more established businesses. We are not currently accepting applications.
