Gravitate is a go!
Less than a month ago, I first wrote about a group of startup community members in Des Moines working to establish a new entrepreneurial center of gravity in the heart of the city. Late last week we crossed the membership point where it's feasible for the project to work on a month-to-month basis. Today, I'm excited to announce that the project is officially moving forward (yeah!).
Support our entrepreneurial community: Sponsor Gravitate!
Last week we announced the details of the plans for Gravitate, a new entrepreneurial center of gravity in downtown Des Moines. The response has been tremendous — in just two days 5 of the 9 available offices have been claimed, several people joined as social members and we're more than a third of the way to our monthly revenue goal. This community is amazing.
The next thing we need to do is raise funds to build out the space and purchase furniture. Several people have inquired on how they can help with this so we've set up a three different levels where companies can get involved.
Introducing 'Gravitate' — a new entrepreneurial center of gravity in Des Moines
Two weeks ago, I shared the start of a plan that several folks in the community have been working on to establish a new "entrepreneurial center of gravity" in downtown Des Moines starting this fall.
In that time we've had dozens of additional conversations, worked up several different layouts and even settled on a name — Gravitate.
Now we’re at the exciting point where we can share specifics on the space itself and start signing up members.
