We turn projects into profits for manufacturers.

Interested in growing your bottom line, but not sure where to start? How to find trustworthy partners? Or where to find funding? NextCorps’ Growth Services can help you answer these questions and more!

Eligible Companies

If you’re a Rochester or Finger Lakes manufacturer, printer, food and beverage, or production-related company, we can connect you to local and national resources to help you expand and thrive. We also bring an element to your business projects that others don’t: access to a host of funding opportunities that can take 10-60% off your costs—thanks to funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the NYSTAR division of Empire State Development.

Success Stories

Seating Inc. owners Judy and Doug Hart knew they needed help if they wanted to grow beyond a mom-and-pop operation for one generation. They share how NextCorps’ Growth Services connected them with resources that helped fuel their business growth.

WexEnergy’s CTO, Ron Wexler, and CEO, Rachel Rosen, describe how support from NextCorps’ Growth Services helped them understand their manufacturing costs and take steps towards automation, allowing them to have more effective conversations with investors.

“We knew if we didn’t have a user interface, we wouldn’t have a product. The Growth Services team found the expertise to get the interface done. Plus, they helped us find $10,000 in funding, which offset 10% of the project costs.”
