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 in the world to have face-to-face
mentoring via webcam and Virtual Incubation.

What can we do for you?

We operate entirely without grants, gifts, donations, contributions or public funding.
We're totally independent and proud of it.
We are business owners!

We're asking our government to please cease the tax-payer funding of those Small Business Development Centers
across the U.S. which are knowingly competing with tax-paying businesses.
Have examples to share?
