Grace Rodriguez

Grace Rodriguez helps do-gooders do greater. After working in both the public and private sectors supporting changemakers and entrepreneurs through organizations like Houston City Council, Mercury Fund, and TED, then co-founding creative incubator C2 Create and tech startup hub Station Houston, Grace saw many diverse entrepreneurs still being overlooked and underserved. To address this, she co-founded and currently leads Impact Hub Houston, an impact innovation incubator that builds inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial ecosystems and empowers diverse innovators to solve society’s most challenging problems. Working alongside 102+ Impact Hubs in over 64 countries around the world — recognized by the United Nations as the world’s largest network for accelerating solutions towards measurable and scalable impact for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — Impact Hub Houston provides inclusive platforms, intentional programs, and international resources to help local entrepreneurs create the change they wish to see in the world.
