OSE Incubator

(DISCLAIMER: these are initial concepts, representing one of many ways that our development program may manifest)

OSE Incubator

We intend to spend 2016 creating a curriculum for a 2-year replication training immersion program for social entrepreneurs - and specifically, for OSE Distributive Entreprise Fellows. We intend to start the first class of Fellows in 2017, with 12 graduates by 2019. During the course of their immersion curriculum, Fellows will participate in production runs and capture their productive value as capitalization assistance for their future startup. Upon graduation, these Fellows will work closely with OSE International to set up 12 Incubators by 2020, and 144 worldwide by 2023. This includes:

• Recruiting Incubator staff
• Building Incubator infrastructure with the Staff, with capitalization assistance of $100-150k as above ($80k/month net production model from OSE Microfactory)
• Recruiting a class of 12 further Fellows

The established Incubators will work closely with the Fellows to reach the 144 Incubator milestone. Upon these being established, the function of the Incubators will shift from training OSE Distributive Enterprise Fellows to OSE Fellows. The distinction is that the latter are agents of open source economic development in their communities, as opposed to trainers of new Fellows.
