Scape
Scape is a small business incubator that specializes in bringing in sustainable 21st century business that will add to the local economy by creating new capitol and jobs. Scape is going on there third year and have almost created three million dollars worth of revenue stream through the five startups that have graduated there program. Scape works hand in hand with Durango Space, a communal work space that focuses on providing durango business with a downtown address and cheaper work space. By working in this space Scape has been able to provide startups with a cheaper way of ensuring that there business model will be successful even before they present there product to the public. I was drawn to scape because I know that I want to own my one business when I am older, yet I am not sure as to what I want to create. That is why I thought it would be a good idea to know how to start a business in general so that when I come up with my billion dollar idea I know how to market it and create a business that will accuratly respect the quality of my idea.

My Project
My project that I created as a result of this internship was not a single peeve of work, but rather a compilation of work that I did for the start ups involved with Scape. I created several small descriptions of ways to collect market research. I did one for one on one interviews, one for focus groups, and one for online web based surveys. Along with this I was working hand in hand with the start ups to do whatever it was that they needed. This meant I was doing a lot of social media work to allow these businesses to have a virtual presence. I also was responsible for any market research needs they had. This was confusing to me since I had never worked with market research but mostly I would look at online databases to see how many people would buy certain products in years passed.
