Recently developed, Seed Spot is currently pursuing funding and has plans for an 18-week program with an enrollment of 20 companies they plan to support with funding and office space, which will launch in Fall 2012. Seed Spot hopes to foster the growth of local entrepreneurs with ideas for high impact ventures on a municipal, national and international scale (although it must be based in Arizona). Seed Spot hopes to be fundamental in Phoenix's social enterprise market, which has seen the recent launch of several other social incubators, both private and public. **Contact Information** Seed Spot [website](http://seedspot.org/) Seed Spot on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/SEEDspot) Seed Spot on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/Seed_Spot) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Social Enterprise Incubators:** The rise of social enterprise incubators such as Seed Spot presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. - **Altruistic Business Accelerators:** Seed Spot's altruistic mission to support high-impact venture ideas presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the accelerator industry. - **Local Entrepreneur Growth:** Seed Spot's focus on fostering local entrepreneur growth presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the development of regional innovation ecosystems. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Business Incubation Services:** Seed Spot's social enterprise incubator presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the business incubation industry. - **Social Entrepreneurship:** Seed Spot's mission to support high-impact social ventures presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the social entrepreneurship ecosystem. - **Community Development:** Seed Spot's focus on fostering local entrepreneur growth presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the community development industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human-First Incubators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/with-life-cultivator.md) - [Marketing Mentorship Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprout-social.md) - [On-Campus Business Incubators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovate-bay.md) - [Hispanic-Focused Business Opportunities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenhouse-accelerator-program.md) - [CPG Goods-Focused Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accelerator-program1.md) - [Location-Based Social Media Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotselfie.md) - [Startup Promotion Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacehunt.md) - [Black-Owned Cannabis Business Accelerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growth-project.md) - [Entrepreneur-Supporting Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doordash-accelerator.md)
