Our Mission

To create high value jobs in the North Bay by enabling and accelerating the success of technology startups within a dynamic sustainable and synergistic environment.

Stimulate regional economic development through entrepreneurship and enterprise development.
Reinvigorate Sonoma County’s technology industry making it a recognized center for Sustainable Resources and Socially-Relevant Technologies.
Provide infrastructure, training, management assistance, financial resources, and support networks that enable new and emerging companies to succeed and prosper creating value-added jobs for the local region through the commercialization of technology.
Create a hub activity contributing to the development of a thriving live/work community in the eco-conscious Sonoma Mountain Village.

"The SMBC project was particularly exciting for us because, as the incubator clients grow and hopefully remain local, it promises to bring back those jobs. Not only that, but in conjunction with Sonoma Mountain Village, the incubator and its graduates will form an essential part of a low-impact, live-work community that we would like to see grow up here. " — Jake Mackenzie, Rohnert Park City Council member

"The cluster can be instrumental in setting the stage for tomorrow’s prosperity." — Robert Eyler, Ph.D., chair of the Economics Department, Sonoma State University
