In 2020, we rebranded as transform GSO, a name that reflects the transformative power of our space and the amazing community it brings to Greensboro. Since our founding, transform GSO has housed and supported hundreds of businesses and members.

In fall of 2021, transform GSO expanded into nearby 111 Bain Street in the historic Gateway Building. Greensboro Chamber’s Launch Greensboro program for Entrepreneurs resides here, partnering with transform GSO to establish the perfect hub for start-ups, early-stage companies, and divisions within corporations.
Additionally, the Bain Street property houses downtown’s newest and most flexible meeting and events space, Elm & Bain.
The two transform GSO properties are a pleasant one-minute stroll apart. Members often take a little longer, lingering in the gardens that connect the locations.
The leadership team strives to live and work by 6 Core Values:
