Innovation Space GoCreate operates a premier 15,000-square-foot makerspace on the WSU Innovation Campus, backed by substantial philanthropy from Koch Industries and Foundation, signaling strong funding and access to training and mentoring programs that can be leveraged for sponsored research, prototyping partnerships, and collaboration opportunities.

Growth Opportunity With revenue in the mid-range of 25 to 50 million and a growing member-based online platform launched in 2024, there is potential to upsell enterprise memberships, tiered access to equipment, and corporate innovation programs for local and regional businesses seeking hands-on prototyping.

Diverse Audience GoCreate welcomes a broad mix of ages and backgrounds, providing a receptive channel for community outreach, workforce development programs, and STEM education partnerships that can be monetized through sponsorships, training curricula, and credentialing.

Technology Stack The tech-forward environment with Laravel, OpenSSL, Apache, and Windows Server suggests readiness for digital membership platforms, online onboarding, and secure project collaboration tools, enabling SaaS-like upsell opportunities and scalable service delivery.

Market Fit As a research services platform with a focus on collaboration and creation, GoCreate is positioned to attract startups, makers, and regional innovators who need prototyping, training, and access to sophisticated equipment, presenting opportunities for sponsored challenges, paid workshops, and corporate training engagements.
