If looking at cars isn’t enough, the Petersen has launched a three-month incubator program to help foster the development of women-led businesses in the automotive industry. Supported by Rolex, the Petersen will choose one California-based startup with five or fewer employees and provide them with hands-on mentorship, access to the Petersen network of sponsors and partners, and a $25,000-$30,000 investment.
Women-led businesses that support or are directly related to the automotive industry are welcome to apply for the incubator program. Applications are reviewed by the program’s selection committee, comprised of six female industry leaders: Diane Parker, vice president of the Historic Vehicle Association; Alex Parker, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of Redline Detection, LLC; Sarah Lassek, senior vice president of merchandising at Omaze; Dr. Sabrina Kay, CEO of Fremont Private Investments; Nikki Riedmiller, account supervisor at Kahn Media; and Jasmine Gonzalez, director of group services of the Petersen Automotive Museum.
Once accepted, the startup will work alongside the Petersen’s mentorship team to develop a custom program that addresses its business goals.
Applications will be accepted from May 1 to July 31, 2021. To apply, please visit petersen.org/business-incubator-program.
