How has the Impact Hub helped HOSS?
Impact Hub Houston has office space at The Ion which is a tech-focused startup incubator and primo tech location. The Ion has lots of clever people doing interesting things with technology. These are people with mutual interests who often face challenges we can help with. It's a community in need of our expertise. We had previously tried to get complimentary space at The Ion and failed, and Impact Hub Houston was able to turn that effort around.
It is only because of Impact Hub Houston that we have meeting space at The Ion.
