Dallas Entrepreneur Center Launches. The Dallas Entrepreneur Center launches this week. It’s a nonprofit center in the Design District that will provide office space and act as an incubator for entrepreneurs. I’m excited about this for several reasons: 1. It’s a much-needed and great resource for startups. 2. It will (hopefully) put Dallas on the map for supporting startups. 3. I know two of the people behind this—Trey Bowles and Jennifer Conley—well. They’re good people who are passionate about this city. I’m excited to see this come together for them and wish them luck.
