Founded in the heart of downtown San Antonio, the San Antonio Entrepreneur Center (SAEC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit support structure focused on stimulating job growth and driving the San Antonio economy. Born from a shared vision among small business and entrepreneurship advocates, the SAEC believes investment in entrepreneurs is investment in the community.

From creating jobs to triggering economic growth and generating local revenue, the value of startups can be seen in communities across the country. For the majority of entrepreneurial hopefuls, however, reaching a point of success is not without its challenges. The SAEC removes those challenges by providing valuable resources in a much-needed physical presence to deliver direct access to education and mentorship needed to make startup success and economic growth in San Antonio achievable and sustainable.

The SAEC is a non-profit, collaborative environment brimming with experts and thought leaders from major corporations, investment groups and academic institutions. Through mentorship, in-person training and financial assistance programs, the SAEC gives entrepreneurs access to leaders who have the resources to support their business goals and the personal knowledge and experiences to educate entrepreneurs on what it takes to launch, manage and grow a successful business.

By supporting talent and innovation, the SAEC is helping to create tomorrow’s business leaders, employers and community members.
