Our Founder
It began with an idea
The Network Incubator was created in May 2019 by Ayanna McMullen, "Community Builder, Broker & Believer". After becoming a full-time entrepreneur she realized how isolating and challenging the business world can be, especially for under-resourced entrepreneurs.
She was inspired to create a space where entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals could (1) share honest conversations about the ideas or challenges they experience within a safe space, (2) receive real-time support, actionable strategies & resources and,
(3) connect with each other in a non-traditional way that fosters creativity and collaboration.
Ayanna is a Professional Organizing, Business Support Strategist and Community Engagment Strategist. Learn morea bout her at www.ayannamcmullen.com
The Network Incuator is 100% Volunteer Run.
Donate to keep the program free & accessible to under-resourced entrepreneurs.
