1) eSpace is a nonprofit organization formed in 2011 by the University of Colorado and Sierra Nevada Corporation to support entrepreneurial space companies through commercializing new technologies, developing workforce, and providing resources like office space, manufacturing facilities, and relationships. 2) The eSpace incubator process evaluates companies and either proposes a partnership where eSpace resources can help the company succeed or declines if eSpace cannot provide clear benefits. 3) By 2010, eSpace had incubated 9 companies, helped submit 16 SBIR proposals with 3 winning awards, and graduated 2 companies from the program. They have since supported over 100 student venture design projects and placed interns at entrepreneurial companies.
