Currently, 30 small companies utilize the space at Indy's Kitchen to teach cooking classes, hold private event and prepare a variety of food.

The city of Indianapolis and Develop Indy have awarded a $17,000 grant to Indy’s Kitchen and marked the graduation of its first client, Avec Moi. The funding will be used to help clients create business and marketing plans and provide a revolving loan fund for startup and growth capital. Indy’s Kitchen is the first and only incubator in Indianapolis dedicated to helping launch small food businesses.

We are working with caterers, bakers and even food truck owners who all share the common goal of wanting to see their businesses grow,” said owner Linda Gilkerson. “Our goal is for our customers to reach their business goals.”
