Founders sTORY

StartupHQ co-founders Steve and Bardia met sitting next to each other at a co-working space in San Francisco. Both startup founders were soon to sell their companies, and shared a passion for the tech scene and the entrepreneurial energy of the Bay Area, so they decided to team up to develop real estate to house startups of all sizes. StartupHQ was born, and in 2011 the two bought 880 Harrison and in 2012, 370 Townsend and have since added five more buildings to the StartupHQ portfolio.
