Tired of all the drab black/white/gray websites? We are, too. So we keep ours in color with animations. Please enjoy our 500+ pages as we explain, educate, entertain, motivate & inspire.
We were on the world wide web 11 days after it became public in 1991. Our monthly high of 371,487 hits June 2019 exceeded our monthly high of 283,797 hits August 2018.
Our incubator client companies have won virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some nationally and some even internationally.
We conclusively demonstrated that entrepreneurship could be taught, that women were starting businesses at a faster rate
than men and that preparing a business plan was not a requirement to creating a successful business.
Our corporate clients have ranged from pre-startups to the largest companies in the world,
universities to governments, economic development groups to charities.
We brought you Houston's first small business incubator, which
became Texas' oldest, the first Womens Business Center
in the U.S., the first to connect face-to-face mentoring
via webcam and first Virtual Incubation
Program in the world!
