Raleigh-based business incubator HQ Raleigh, which hosts more than 90 companies at its downtown Raleigh offices, is expanding to Greensboro in a partnership with Gate City developer Andy Zimmerman.
The new HQ Greensboro is scheduled to open in May at a 10,000-square-foot building at 111 W. Lewis St. in downtown Greensboro. The aim will be to promote more ties between the Triangle and Triad regions and spur entrepreneurship. The building, built in 1898 for a wagon company, will include more than 20 offices and three or four conference rooms.
“This partnership will create an ideal environment to foster increased collaboration and idea collision, as well as cross-state opportunities for economic growth,” says Christopher Gergen, co-founder of HQ Raleigh.
Co-founders of HQ Greensboro are Zimmerman, Ryan Barry, Ken Causey and April Harris.
The two entities have agreed to allow HQ Raleigh companies to gain access to collaborative space at HQ Greensboro and vice versa.
HQ Raleigh was founded in October 2012 by Gergen, Jason Widen, Brooks Bell and Jesse Lipson.
