Having recognized that perceived needs of beginning businesses are significantly different from the bottom looking up than from the top looking down, in early 1977, The Co-Op commenced original research in start-up business development, entrepreneurial education, and emerging business assistance in order to accurately identify and supply all  the required advancement components for early stage entrepreneurs, resulting in Co-Op companies having won virtually every award for growth in Houston. Some nationally and some even internationally and they continue to do so today.


Since 1983, The Co-Op has conducted a weekly business development breakfast, the oldest in the United States, to train early stage entrepreneurs in the experiential skills necessary for successful business advancement.

The Co-Op specialty is business incubation for service companies, where The Co-Op provides the environment, resources, education and methodology to accelerate business growth.The Co-Op is proud sponsor to Houston's first and Texas' oldest business incubator, founded the first  Womens Business Center in the nation and established First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund. All totally without gifts, grants, donations, contributions or public funding.

You can be anywhere in the country and participate in the incubator programs because we were also first in the nation with remote/virtual access.

The Co-Op has been "on the web" since August 21, 1991, with a  presence exceeding 800 pages. Click on any of the links below to learn more of what The Co-Op can do for you.
