About SQ1 Entrepreneurs
Business education, coaching, and capital connections for innovators and leaders, including people who are starting over.

A home base for builders
Square One Tech Hub is a life, workforce, skills, entrepreneurship, and leadership development facility at 2121 W. 16th Street, Little Rock, AR 72202, in the historic Little Rock Central High School neighborhood. It sits where Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock Nine, was turned away from Ponder’s Drug Store in 1957. Today it is a safe, inclusive space for people building what comes next.
Let’s build this together.
