Santa Cruz County Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is launching its second cohort for Click 2 Bricks (C2B) - a startup incubator and e-commerce innovation hub for entrepreneurs in Santa Cruz and neighboring counties. C2B will assist aspiring entrepreneurs and current business owners in starting, growing, and maintaining a best-practice, modern e-commerce website, and associated business strategy. Over the next five years, the ultimate purpose is to develop these businesses to a point where commercial space is needed.

Upon completion of the C2B innovation program and obtaining digital proof-of-concept, the C2B innovation hub's goal is to assist each participating entrepreneur/business in establishing their retail and/or manufacturing-based e-commerce businesses in Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Clara counties. In this way, C2B will help maintain the vibrance and diversity of businesses in the region. This creative resilience is the ultimate purpose.
