To achieve gender equity in entrepreneurship, in the workplace, and at home. 

The Inc. vision + Mission

Our Why, "To achieve gender equity in entrepreneurship, in the workplace, and at home" — is pretty big.

We've seen some recent progress towards gender equity with movement toward more equal pay, increased investment in women-led businesses and paid family leave coming to the forefront of public discussion. But we've also experienced little to no progress for the most important piece to achieving gender equity with work: CHILDCARE. The traditional full-time childcare system is just not meeting the needs of many of today's parents who may work remotely or own a small business; may be searching for full-time work; or are stay at home parents who need space and community for their own projects and mental health. Childcare centers can be too rigid, expensive, unavailable and the task of finding and managing childcare can be a major obstacle for a parents, (generally defaulting to moms), who wish to continue working, return to work, successfully launch a business, or just pay the household bills in peace.

The Inc.'s strong sense of community and call-to action to achieve gender equity at work drives us to create these community-driven, neighborhood-centric workspaces that meet the needs for more affordable, flexible childcare options and welcoming, child-friendly spaces where parents can work and children can play.

The Inc. is moving and growing alongside the modern mindsets and attitudes around work and family. We are a community of parents and supporters who like to think outside the sandbox and color outside the lines! We seek to work with strategic partners and other major contributors who share our values and vision for the future to help sustainably grow our business model to other neighborhoods in the Puget Sound and beyond.
