Local Roots. Global Bridges.

BGS Hubs

BGS Hubs are the beating heart of Black Global Startups (BGS) — physical and virtual spaces where Black founders connect, collaborate, and co-create.

Each hub anchors the global BGS ecosystem in local realities — empowering entrepreneurs with the tools, networks, and community they need to thrive.

Why Co-Working Partnerships Matter

For many Black founders, entrepreneurship is limited not by talent or ideas, but access:

  • Access to supportive communities

  • Access to professional workspaces

  • Access to mentorship, networks, and global opportunity

By partnering with co-working spaces globally, BGS ensures that Black entrepreneurs can walk into a space anywhere in the world and find:

  • Community
  • Mentorship
  • Learning opportunities
  • Collaborative projects
  • Global visibility

These spaces become part of a connected innovation ecosystem, powered by shared identity, creativity, and ambition.
