ABOUT US

Decades of experience in ecosystem building

HUUB was born out of CO+HOOTS, an entrepreneur resource center also ranked No. 4 coworking space in the nation by Inc. For over a decade, our team has been building entrepreneur ecosystems — providing training and support to nurture businesses from launch to growth.

We quickly realized the importance of working in unison with our city government. When we align our missions, we could streamline processes and help already over-stretched economic development teams.

Community meets technology.

HUUB functions as an entrepreneur resource platform that brings our community building and business support methodology to city governments. Built-in reporting and tools help city leaders support their small business community all in a one-stop central hub. We know city governments are vital in creating access and lowering barriers to entrepreneurship. When more underserved and underrepresented entrepreneurs create businesses and jobs, we all win.

We are here to help make this change. As committed as ever,

“With HUUB, we combine the exciting, interactive nature of a community with your content — all in one seamless experience.”
