Company Summary

Collectively brings together local groups of peers in virtual coworking spaces. 34% of Americans are freelancers. Three million FTEs work from home. These people suffer from social and economic isolation. We provide a place for them to socialize with like-minded peers during their natural work breaks.

  • Sean Branin
    CPO

    Sean is a ridiculously meticulous master maker of beauty. He is devoted to create work that is some flavor of visionary and if you don't let him do so, he will die inside.

    He is an agile co-conspirator for any Creative Director. He gets inside your head, sizes up the angles (of the RFP or Creative Brief) and by the time he's done, your head has expanded.

  • Ryan Janssen
    CEO

    I've been building companies since I dropped out of my Ph.D. program in philosophy nearly 20 years ago. Whether they succeed or fail, my primary goal is always to build a “rational economic sanctuary” where smart people can do what they are best at in the service of something they care about without having to worry about self-serving management or the day-to-day vicissitudes of the economic forces that surround us all.
