We champion all entrepreneurs through leadership, programs, resources and connections.



HBDC is offering a 10-week CO.STARTERS program providing tools, resources, and connections to turn business ideas into action with the goal of providing small-scale startups with the same level of support as their high-growth counterparts. The program draws from the experience of successful entrepreneurs and startup veterans from around the globe. Participants build and test small business models and receive real time customer feedback to help refine their models and avoid basing their business in incorrect assumptions.
