In the not too distant future, we're all going to get smarter.
Remember years ago when we wanted to know something we'd go to a library?
So now that we've reached micro-chips and the internet we've an infinite amount of information at our finger-tips.
It's just a matter of time before we have a tiny connector implanted in our brains that gives us access to all that's known in the world.

Services Cooperative Association
Market Expansion ~ Business Development
Entrepreneurial Education ~ Professional Growth
Since 1983!
We operate entirely without grants, gifts, donations, contributions
or public funding. We don't have our hand out and we are NOT
your tax dollars at work!
We're independent business owners,
entirely self-funded and very proud of it.
Our startups have won virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some
nationally and some
even internationally.
When you want
assistance with your business, seek only those who have actual hands-on business ownership experience. You'll be glad you did!

A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of startup business development conducted by the
Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.
Since our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, we've worked with 65,647
people, generating 45,145 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues exceeding one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator and co-working space, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the United States with residency space and the Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions.
Our Entrepreneurial Research conclusively demonstrated A) "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally, commencing entrepreneurial courses and B) that women starting businesses were seeking a hand-up and a level playing field rather than a hand-out or charity and C) that business incubators actually accelerated business growth resulting in the next generation being named accelerators and D) incubators/accelerators could be entirely self-sufficient by charging a modest royalty interest in client companies and that entrepreneurship was color blind and gender neutral.
Here are some of the organizations we've worked with.
We grow companies, build careers and advance ideas.
