About The Greater Auburn Collective

Building the Future of Greater Auburn

The Greater Auburn Collective (GAC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic vitality throughout the Greater Auburn region. We believe our community already has the talent, creativity, and ambition to build remarkable businesses. We're here to provide the connections, resources, and support that help those ideas thrive.

Through founder cohorts, workshops, mentorship, hackathons, networking events, and strategic partnerships, we empower individuals to transform ideas into successful businesses while creating lasting economic impact for our region.

At GAC, we believe entrepreneurship is about more than starting businesses, it's about strengthening our community. By investing in local innovators, encouraging collaboration, and creating opportunities for meaningful connections, we're helping build a more vibrant, resilient, and prosperous Greater Auburn for generations to come.

Auburn doesn't need to be discovered. It needs to be activated.
