Be Hito.  Be You.

In 2018, Women’s Startup Lab formed the HIto Institute to bring to corporations the unique blend of inspiration and innovation that have been inspiring women entrepreneurs for the last six years.  

Whether its a startup company founder or a rising corporate executive, today’s leaders must motivate their teams to work hard in ways that advance the mission of the business.  The drive for innovation is unending.

We offer select programs for male and female corporate leaders designed to enable participants to experience the personal breakthroughs that will enable them to create and communicate their vision and motivate their teams to thrive in fast-paced startup conditions, with limited resources and support while delivering extraordinary results.
