The Software Business Center is a
business incubator for fast-track software developers, IT professionals and computer
related business owners. The SBC uses business development and entrepreneurial
education programs pioneered by the Entrepreneurial
Development Center to accelerate business growth for entrepreneur's in emerging
businesses. The Entrepreneurial Development Center is Houston's first and Texas'
oldest business incubator. The
SBC is self-sufficient based entirely on client fees for services rendered. The SBC
provides the resources, methodology and environment to accelerate business growth of
client entrepreneurs and is paid a development fee based on the success of the venture.
The development methodology, the Entrepreneurial
Development Program(sm) is uniquely tailored, case-by-case, to the specific
personal resources, attributes and aptitude of the client entrepreneur to address the
aspects of marketing, operations, administration and finance of the venture.
As the client company grows, the Center
makes a profit. Only by growing client companies does the Center remain
self-sufficient. Consequently, the Entrepreneurial Development Program provides a
"What's next? What's missing?" inventory of items to rapidly progress client
entrepreneurs through each stage of business growth.
At the SBC,
we provide answers for business growth from pre-startup entrepreneurs-to-be to business
owners with many years of business operations.
Our development methodologies
include advisory boards, mentors
and a professional development coach.
The SBC has a modest seed
fund and has been involved in virtually every type of funding option.
For those software developers
seeking an office
location, the SBC provides a friendly, high energy focus group environment,
conducive to building successful entrepreneurial skills.
For freelance software developers,
the SBC is forming a commercialization cooperative to market intellectual
property, with special emphasis on converting in-house, proprietary work into individual
products for a mass market.
