Dancing in the streets causes alarm in Germany
In the German town of Aix-la-Chapelle, people begin jumping, twirling, twitching, and hallucinating, all of it seemingly out of their control to stop, and some "dance" until they drop. The so-called "
dancing plague" will spread to other cities and later be blamed on mass hysteria or bacterial infections.

After 11 hours and 5 minutes played over three days, American
John Isner defeats Frenchman
Nicolas Mahut in a first-round singles match at Wimbledon. The contest sets records for longest match in professional tennis history for both time and number of games (183).

2011
New York becomes the sixth state, and by far the largest population-wise, to legalize same-sex marriage. Thirty more states will follow until 2015, when the Supreme Court of the United States will make it legal nationally in the landmark civil rights case
Obergefell v. Hodges.

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 65,644
people, generating 45,120 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.
