Innovation Depot’s Voltage program returns to nurture business ideas

Birmingham’s Innovation Depot has picked another 15 entrepreneurs for the latest edition of Voltage, its idea incubator program.

Voltage, which launched back in 2021, is a six-week program for aspiring tech entrepreneurs who need guidance outside normal business hours. It’s aimed at giving founders with little technical experience the tools they need to test their ideas’ potential before building a product.

AppThink, powered by HVL, is assisting Innovation Depot’s Program Manager Amanda Williams. The group started working Saturday.

“With 79 talented individuals having already passed through Voltage, our community of entrepreneurs continues to thrive and expand,” Innovation Depot CEO Brooke Gillis said.
