WHO WE ARE

The DEC Network is a 501c3 nonprofit organization driving parity and economic impact by helping entrepreneurs start, build and grow their businesses. Since 2013, we have been launching physical hubs, events, and education programs for startups, with a particular focus on women and entrepreneurs of color. Born from a shared vision among small business and entrepreneurship advocates, The DEC Network believes investment in entrepreneurs is an investment in the community.

Our Fiduciary & Associate Boards work with our staff and entrepreneurs to provide mentorship and an exemplary experience for those in our network. They are passionate about growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Southern Dallas and leveraging their success to build and grow startups all around Dallas.
Chair of the Board, Tim Hill, says "I am honored to be voted to serve as the Board Chairman at The Dallas Entrepreneur Center Network–providing advocacy, mentorship, education and community for the DFW entrepreneurial ecosystem. The DEC Network is committed to fostering a thriving and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem for all as part of the Dallas Small Business Ecosystem."
