In the earlier universe, both globular clusters and the seeds of supermassive black holes are believed to have formed in the progenitors of modern massive galaxies, although the details are poorly understood. Direct observations of these low-mass, distant, and hence faint systems are unobtainable with current capabilities. However, gas-rich dwarf starburst galaxies in the local universe, analogous in many ways to protogalaxies at high-redshift, can provide critical insight into the early stages of galaxy evolution including the formation of globular clusters and massive black holes. We present a panchromatic study of nearby dwarf starburst galaxies harboring nascent globular clusters still embedded in their birth material. We also show the first example of a nearby dwarf starburst galaxy simultaneously hosting an actively accreting intermediate-mass central black hole and an extreme burst of star formation. The massive black hole in this dwarf galaxy is unusual in that it is not associated with a bulge, a nuclear star cluster, or any other well-defined nucleus, likely reflecting an early phase of black hole and galaxy evolution that has not been previously observed.
