Community & Coworking Space in Columbia

When you're dreaming, building, and scaling, it helps to surround yourself with people who get it. A membership at the BIC is more than a coworking space or office rental – it's your opportunity to get connected, build momentum, and grow alongside your goals.

Located in the heart of Five Points, downtown Columbia

The Boyd Innovation Center is a coworking community with a mission to support high-tech, high-growth startups in Columbia.

We put founders at the center of our mission and bring together people from all stages of their entrepreneurial journey – from early-stage dreamers to scaling success stories.

Whether you're a remote worker looking to escape the isolation of home, a freelancer actively scaling your business, or a tech startup searching for the perfect headquarters, our coworking memberships offer more than just space. We provide community, resources, and the connections you need to accelerate your growth.

What Makes BIC Different

Goal-Oriented Community

Every member shares 3 goals they're working toward. We're not just about providing desks – we're about helping you make progress.

Flexible Growth

Start with flexible coworking and scale to a dedicated office as your team grows, all within the same supportive ecosystem.

Coffee Conversations Turn Into Collaborations

When you bring together tech startups, working professionals, consultants, freelancers, and side-hustlers under one roof, inspiration and ideas naturally transform into action. There's something powerful about feeling the energy of working alongside others who are actively building their dreams – it creates the motivation and momentum you need to take your venture to the next level.

An Online Hub to Stay Connected

Your membership extends far beyond our physical walls. Our online community platform, Circle, keeps you connected with fellow members 24/7. Chat with people you wouldn't meet in your day-to-day routine, share valuable resources, and find guidance and support no matter what stage you're in.
