Hone is more than just a kitchen. It’s a place for collaboration, mentorship, and growth. Just like co-working spaces have been essential for tech startups, shared kitchens are becoming critical infrastructure for the food ecosystem in Greenville. By giving founders access to tools and resources that are otherwise expensive or hard to get, Hone helps them test new products, scale their operations, and connect with customers.

For Greenville, that means more than just new restaurants or packaged goods. It is about building a strong, sustainable ecosystem where creativity and entrepreneurship come together. Food startups often become hubs in their own right, supporting local suppliers, creating jobs, and energizing neighborhoods. As part of Village Launch, Hone is connected to an established network of support, mentorship, and resources that helps the next generation of culinary founders shape Greenville’s food scene.

With Hone open, Greenville’s startup community has a new reason to come together over coffee, burritos, baked goods, and a shared belief that food innovation deserves space to grow.
