THE EARLY DAYS
In 2011, Jason Hanna of Coincident, Sam White and Sorin Grama of Promethean Power Systems, Jeremy Pitts of Oscomp Systems and Adam Rein of Altaeros Energies were looking for affordable space to keep building prototypes after they graduated from MIT.
The four startups faced a challenge: where could they build things and not break the bank?
The startup founders realized the value of a like-minded community of entrepreneurs, and they sensed they weren’t alone in their need for low-cost, urban prototyping and office space.
