A staple of Des Moines’ entrepreneurial ecosystem turns 10
Gravitate Coworking founder Geoff Wood reflects on a decade in business
Many in Des Moines and Iowa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem will know of Gravitate Coworking and its founder Geoff Wood. But to understand how it started 10 years ago requires stepping back to some key developments in the early days of Des Moines’ startup community.
Looking back on ‘Season One’ of Pretzel Day
We just wrapped up our last Pretzel Day for 2023—think of that as Season One—and we hope you loved the new monthly tradition as much as we did! Pretzel Day, for those who are unfamiliar, is our version of “show & tell” but with snacks! Each month two different members from across the whole Gravitate community share a unique interest and/or passion with the rest of us over the lunch hour. It’s a moment for all of us to step away from the laptop and connect with each other. I mean, that’s a big reason we choose to cowork together, right? Bonus: the Gravitate team brings the pretzels.

We just wanted to take a moment to shout out a massive THANK YOU to all the amazing Gravitate members and the wider community for showing up and making our milestone celebration an unforgettable one. Your presence and support mean the world to us!
