The DEC helps our business both directly and indirectly. The RedBird loaction is first class. The association (people on The DEC staff) are both supportive and professional. They model, in precept and example, what small businesses should aspire to. For that, we say thanks and job well done.

Finding a creative coworking space in Fort Worth has been a huge win for our business. The collaborative energy has sparked new ideas and connected us with other entrepreneurs and resources that have truly made a difference. It has been a catalyst for raising capital, onboarding new clients, and growing the organization. Having a professional and energizing place to work has elevated everything we are doing!

First of all, thank YOU and the DEC Network so much for facilitating this connection. I had gone through 3 other mentors before I asked the DEC to help out, and Nikki is a keeper!She is responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly: she loves what she does as much as I love what I do. I’m so happy with my mentor match!
