Southern Tier Startup Alliance

the southern tier startup alliance (stsa) leverages the contributions of incubators and existing entrepreneurial resources in the region, and creates support services where none currently exist. by bringing coherence to a growing regional ecosystem of entrepreneurs and support organizations, the stsa strives to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. the stsa organizes workshops and programming throughout the region for entrepreneurs and budding entrepreneurs. entrepreneurs-in-residence provide 1:1 mentoring to entrepreneurs and startups in the region. member startups at the stsa’s partner incubators may also qualify to receive tax benefits through the nys innovation hot spot program.
