The program — one of several business incubators supported by the city’s Economic Development Corp. — helps entrepreneurs get started by renting commercial kitchen space at below market rates and offering classes and other support.
They also have workshops once a month on topics like logo design.
The incubator, which opened inside the East Harlem marketplace La Marqueta in January 2011, accepts new members three times a year. The next application deadline is next month.
