Through the Diversity Business Resource Center (DBRC), RCI offers a central point of contact for small, diverse, and underutilized business owners seeking guidance to start, sustain, and expand their ventures. Our services equip pre-venture, startup, and existing businesses with the tools necessary to overcome barriers to growth.
RCI provides one-on-one consulting through strategic partners and industry specialists covering all aspects of business development.
Our Boost Your Business series features seminars and programs tailored to the needs of our entrepreneurs. We also offer direct referrals for certifications, legal services, accounting, taxes, insurance, and bonding support.
Additionally, RCI connects businesses to government contracting opportunities, new business prospects, and valuable networking events designed to strengthen their competitive advantage.
The University of Pittsburgh’s Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence (IEE) and Small Business Development Center (SBDC) values its 20+ year partnership with Riverside Center of Innovation.
Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners are able to access the IEE/SBDC’s consulting and training programs directly at Riverside Center for Innovation.
