In Good Company is a series of conversations featuring local business leaders. These conversational meet-ups allow business owners to share their tips and ideas to guests, community members, and entrepreneurs. “In Good Company” meet-ups will feature local entrepreneurs and business owners.

About In Good Company:

The history of 2 Company Street, now Company House Hotel, has shown us that this property had been a business incubator as early as 1800s. Visiting professionals would stay here and advertise their services in the Avis, from dentists to piano tuners to early photographers.

Later on, this building was owned by the St. Croix Labor Union and housed the island’s first free newspaper. They were instrumental in making working conditions more equal for the black underclass of St. Croix.

This series is our way of continuing the tradition of empowering entrepreneurs and business owners and bringing them together in such a historic setting.
