It was an amazing & super educational experience. I would recommend the IIC to anyone and everyone!

We had an informative meeting and were helped setting up our LLC. Frosty was friendly and provided us with recommendations to our many inquiries.

I have an office space that I rent from the innovation center to help get my Technology Business off the ground. They have been helpful in giving support when needed on business strategies, ideas and resources to help my company grow.

I would recommend any business owner to come check out what they have available to offer Positive Value

The Idaho Innovation Center has been an amazing place for us to start our small business. The initial draw for me and my business partners was to have an expensive rent. However, the longer we stay the more we recognize the value that we are getting as tenants at the innovation center. The networking and the classes are a great value add for the phase of business that I’m in. The team at the Idaho Innovation Center have been very responsive and malleable in the way they let us operate in their space. Couldn’t have better things to say about the Innovation Center.

As I come to the end of my lease, I want to reach out and share my appreciation for all you have done. You came along at a perfect point in my business.

Your approach is the perfect balance between small business and growth. Thank you for the memories and I hope we can stay in touch. I highly recommend this system for anyone who is in the process of growth or incubation.
