What is Incubation?

Business incubators are programs designed to accelerate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts. Incubators vary in the way they deliver their services, in their organizational structure, and in the types of clients they serve. Successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a start-up company will stay in business for the long term: Historically, 87% of incubator graduates stay in business.

What is Mentoring?

Given the scarcity of venture capital, early stage companies can rarely afford the top caliber talent necessary to win customers faster, build better products and provide better customer experiences than their competitors.

Dayton RCC helps early stage companies bridge this human capital gap by providing access to highly accomplished and experienced executives who can help early stage companies accelerate growth without struggling through a steep learning curve or making unnecessary, cash consuming miss-steps. DRCC's business acceleration methodology combines industry best practices with strategic and operational guidance from seasoned operators, with entry-level pricing that even the most financially bootstrapped can afford.

Many entrepreneurs and management teams struggle with the technical aspects of business planning such as undertaking detailed market research, performing comprehensive competitive analysis and determining a marketʼs size and growth potential. Each of these inputs is critical to formulating the best strategy and the correct execution tactics for a given company.

What is Auto-ID Sourcing?

Automatic Identification or Auto-ID refers broadly to technologies that can help computers identify everyday objects. Enabling computers to automatically recognize and identify everyday objects will in turn enable those computers to track and trace the objects, trigger events, and even perform actions on the objects themselves.

The application of Auto-ID technology will provide enterprises with an unprecedented real-time view of their assets and inventories throughout the supply chain, thereby enabling significant gains in their operational efficiencies. Although ideally suited for supply chain management-type applications, Auto-ID technology has applications in any industry that can benefit from better asset tracking, tracing, and management.

While the DRCC specializes in RIFD, we have developed relationships with other technologies involved in Auto-ID.

Global sourcing is a term used to describe practice of sourcing from the global market for goods and services across geopolitical boundaries. Global sourcing often aims to exploit global efficiencies in the delivery of a product or service. These efficiencies include low cost skilled labor, low cost raw material and other economic factors like tax breaks and low trade tariffs.
