It’s been just over two months since 1871 opened its doors on May 2nd and welcomed the first round of digital startups. To say we have some incredible companies (and of course people) “living here”, would be an understatement. The excitement, idea generation, networking, mentorship, support and pure adrenaline that fill the space everyday are so exciting to watch. So with that in mind, we wanted to create an opportunity to let others meet and hear from some of the great entrepreneurs in and around 1871 as they share their insights on fostering digital startup success.
Today, we are releasing the first video in a series called #MeetTheStartups. With over 100 companies working out of 1871 already, #MeetTheStartups tries to capture some of the excitement of a growing startup ecosystem.
