This month, Founders League is happy to welcome some great new members to our community. Three of the newest additions to the Founders League family are corporate members who have created regional outposts with us at 95 Chestnut: TripAdvisor, Havas, and MakerMedia. These three national companies join email back-end manager Sendgrid, who has an research and development office at Founders League, and PR powerhouse McGrath Power in taking space for local employees at Founders League. Together, these five firms are part of an emerging trend that sees large organizations setting up smaller, remote workstations for employees that might otherwise be forced to relocate or telecommute.
Why Founders League?
As companies like TripAdvisor and Sendgrid scale their operations, new talent gets harder and harder to recruit. Not only that, but the talent that they are able to recruit might not be interested in picking up everything and move halfway across the country (or world). In response to this, remote workership has risen tremendously in the last ten years. But many remote workers complain that working from afar can be disorienting and lonely. They rarely see colleagues, or for that matter, other humans. That’s the beauty of co-working spaces like the Founders League. We provide remote workers (and self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs) an opportunity to work in an office bustling with smart, hard-working people without forcing them to compromise on where that office is.
The result is a bustling community of members that includes employees of large corporations like TripAdvisor or MakerMedia working alongside more traditionally startup-sized businesses like Splitwise, and even single-person companies. The interactions between these people becomes invaluable in helping generate new ideas and overcoming the slew of challenges we all face as entrepreneurs.
In addition to the community, the location of the facility is a major draw to those interested in affordable office space in the greater Providence region. Located in the new “knowledge district”, Founders League operates within the same facility as the Betaspring startup incubator.
It’s easy to join. There are no long term commitments and multiple different membership options to meet your needs and work habits.
