The Startup Center, founded in 1994, and updated in 2012 to include the International Business Center. Houston has had more businesses starts, since 1999, that any other city in the United States and has become the international hub for businesses transferring operations to Texas. It is specifically for business owners who want a rapid acclimation into the Houston Business Community with the convenience of a residence, office and custom tailored development methodology to accelerate business growth, all within the same facility.

The Startup Center provides comfortable upscale living arrangements plus a friendly, powerful, high energy focus group environment, conducive to enhancing entrepreneurial attributes with office, furniture, computer, copier, fax, telephone, voice-mail, high speed Internet access, webpage, E-Mail, business cards and letterhead supplied.

Full personal, business support services and emerging business assistance are readily available for efficient operation of any business.

Meals, transportation, translations and introductions are included.

Consider it an extended stay bed and breakfast business accelerator.

The development methodology is provided by C. Dean Kring, Director of Research, the most tenured owner/manager/operator in the National Business Incubation Association. His clients have garnered virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some nationally and even internationally, and they continue to do so today.

We pioneered "hands-on" entrepreneurial development to accelerate business growth for entrepreneurs in emerging service businesses by:
#1) the very precise design of a custom tailored development methodology exactly formulated for the unique resources, attributes and aptitude of the individual entrepreneur;
#2) an Advisory Board, Mentor and Professional Development Coach comprised of experienced business owners;
#3) replacement of the cumbersome business plan with the advanced Business Overview
®;
#4) the convenient availability of virtually every resource the start-up business owner is likely to need in an environment conducive to rapid growth;
#5) a powerfully effective weekly Business Building Breakfast for professional development, entrepreneurial training and business advancement.

The next step in the process is the Entrepreneurial Assessment® to determine what aspects of the Entrepreneurial Development Program® is appropriate for you.

We don't enable. We EMPOWER!
