Istoria Group is dedicated to innovation, entrepreneurship and the local economy. As part of this ethos, we support promising small businesses in their growth and direction. So we are both sad and immensely proud to be saying goodbye to our Incubator Hub brands who have grown to become stand-alone, independent businesses. It was a pleasure mentoring, investing, advising and sharing office space with these talented businesses. We wish both Solverboard and I am a Bookworm all the best for the future.
