About
The Opportunity Center, a partnership of four South Carolina nonprofit organizations, is a unique collaboration focused on impacting low-wealth communities of the Tri- County. This innovative space provides workforce development, small business incubators, and coworking spaces benefiting entrepreneurs and start-ups, while maintaining offices of local non-profits actively working in the community and economic development sector. Key among the programs provided, a unique and critical component of The Opportunity Center is the business incubator program known as the Business Success Center. Defined as an entrepreneurial ecosystem builder, this program focuses on helping small business owners and entrepreneurs establish, grow, and sustain their operations—especially for communities of color. As an entrepreneurship ecosystem builder of communities of color, the Opportunity Center has four primary purposes:
The Opportunity Center represents the community where the ecosystem building work is being done.
The Opportunity Center maintains real estate (the building) in which programs are conducted where co-working, networking, and relationship building can be facilitated and serve as a positive symbol to the community.
The Opportunity Center both provides and connects entrepreneurs to capital.
The Opportunity Center serves as a relationship facilitator and network builder both within the community of color and as a bridge to the broader business ecosystem in the area.
