Leveraging Excess Capacity to Help Startups and Create Jobs

In case not everyone who receives these postings doesn't understand what nxtARROW is doing in Buffalo, let us link you to this very inspiring story that recently aried on NBC Nightly News.

What the Park State Bank is doing (in above linked story) is what nxtARROW is facilitating in Buffalo. We are asking property owners who have excess available space to donate a portion of it to a pool of resources that nxtARROW will provide to startups moving into Buffalo to launch or to take their business to the next level.

We are in the process of gaining commitments from business and residential property owners/managers to make space available for those who are willing to come to Buffalo, build a business and create jobs for local people.

Anyone having a good business idea, whether funded by Venture Capital, Angels, Private Equity-- or not yet funded, nxtARROW can set them up with free assets and services for their first year, including housing, office/manufacturing space, a vehicle, personal lifestyle services, business to business services, and amenities. Virtually everything needed to do business with the exception of the cost of operating the core business is free to those entreprneurs coming to Buffalo from out of town.

In the near future we plan to hold a "Buffalo Summit" meeting of everyone in the public and private sectors who has influence and/or assets to donate to the cause, and we'll be asking them to join each other in making a commitment to Buffalo's rebirth as an entrepreneurial hub.

If you know anyone who has resources to share for this cause, or who is starting a venture and would consider relocating to Buffalo (whether from the Buffalo suburbs, out of state, or out of the country) contact us and contact them on our behalf.
