I work for TXRX Labs
www.txrxlabs.org, a non-profit which is now the anchor tenant and co-owner of the East End Maker Hub
www.eastendmakerhub.org
The EEMH is comprised of 70 or so suites of various sizes and capabilities, which are filled by start-ups and small businesses. They're required to be a producing facility of some kind (no software app stuff, no VCs, etc), they need to be pretty local, and they need to preferentially hire from within our district, a historically minority but manufacturing area in Houston.
TXRX Labs is a makerspace gone professional, we teach classes and certifications on a growing number of trade subjects (ASE, welding, machining, QC, etc). We also do design and prototyping for companies, especially the tenants in the EEMH, and we still do classic makerspace stuff, like have memberships and teach night classes on nearly every type of manufacturing or crafting that exists. Our core values are DIY, trades, skills, and the idea that we can't Buy American until we can Build American, and that won't happen until we Train American.
