About Us
Mission:

Programs: 

Founded in 2007, reSET is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Hartford, CT, whose mission is advancing the social enterprise sector and providing inclusive entrepreneurial support across Connecticut. In February 2025, reSET acquired New Haven-based Collab, combining complementary strengths to create a more robust ecosystem for impact-driven entrepreneurs throughout the region. reSET specializes in social enterprise — impact-driven businesses with double or triple bottom lines — providing coworking space, accelerator programs, and mentoring services that inspire innovation and community collaboration. To date, reSET and Collab have assisted over 500 small businesses to start with impact.

With the integration of Collab's entrepreneurial support expertise, reSET has strengthened its commitment to providing entrepreneurs with impactful, rigorous business support using a compassionate, heart-centered approach. The organization prioritizes serving people of color and women — particularly Black and Latinx entrepreneurs — who face persistent barriers due to structural inequities, delivering programming that combines high-quality business education with leadership development to help entrepreneurs build successful businesses, create economic power, and shape their communities.
