Innovation Pavilion is a business incubator founded by Vic Ahmed in Centennial, Colorado in 2011.[1] The incubator describes itself as an ecosystem for entrepreneurs and is modeled after Plug and Play, a Silicon Valley startup incubator.[2] The Pavilion houses member companies in technology, digital health, media, entertainment, marketing and finance, operating from a startup level upward. The incubator has also held several Youth Entrepreneur programs with the Denver Youth Entrepreneurship Network.[3]

The building was purchased in 2013 in a strategic partnership between Innovation Pavilion and Northstar Commercial Partners, with plans to open more incubators. Northstar, a privately held commercial real estate firm, is headquartered in Denver.[4][5]

The Innovation Pavilion space has been listed for lease amidst allegations of sexual assault[6] were leveled at founder Vic Ahmed.[7]

On November 13, 2019, Thrive Workplace announced they would be opening their fourth location in the space that was once home to Innovation Pavilion.[8]

As one of their funding mechanisms, Innovation Pavilion offers endorsements to startups on the peer-to-peer microlending platform, Kiva Zip.[9]
