Boulder holistic, entrepreneurial businesses join forces as HoloWINC

BOULDER – HoloBeing Wellness Institute, an incubator for holistic practitioners, announced on Monday that the company has merged with another Boulder company, Women in Community, which offers training programs for female entrepreneurs.

HoloBeing owner Lesley Glenner described the merger as a partnership between the two companies, with both she and WINC owner Myka McLaughlin running the new entity, which has been dubbed HoloWINC.

The two will share space at HoloBeing’s 3008 Folsom St., location. They’ll also be expanding into space next door at 3012 Folsom, giving HoloWINC about 2,000 square feet in all come next month.

How Platte River Power Authority is accelerating its energy transition

Platte River Power Authority, the community-owned wholesale electricity provider for Northern Colorado, has a history of bold initiatives.

HoloBeing leases space to practitioners of acupuncture, massage and other disciplines, and also offers one-on-one business coaching to help the practitioners grow their businesses.

Glenner said Monday that the merger will let HoloBeing practitioners tap into the entrepreneurial community of WINC, which runs an accelerator-type program for groups of eight to 20 women at a time that caters to women in various types of business disciplines, not just holistic practices.

For WINC, the merger gives the company a physical space to call its own for the first time after being run virtually and at rotating locations in the past.

“Both will benefit from the community that each brings together,” Glenner said.

Glenner and McLaughlin are the only two employees of the new company. Glenner said the two companies previously each had just shy of $100,000 in annual revenue.

HoloWINC will host an all-day workshop on Dec. 9 to showcase the expanded space and collaborative services of the new company.
