So Long, Farwell...

Today was a sad day—our last official day in the Science Center. We’ve had lots of fun over the last three months in this space. The bonding that occurred between the 11 companies in the 2008 program was a pleasant surprise for us all. We figured “Work Where You Like” would be a draw for the Innovators; individuals craving the freedom to work independently on their dreams. But it became apparently early on that many preferred to work in the common space we provided. The energy of the larger group was infectious and a friendly competition developed within these walls. At a moment’s notice, they could bounce ideas off each other, learning lessons from the other companies and accelerating their own development. The group built its own collaborative network; sharing contacts and creating a culture all their own.


After the last box was packed, most the group departed for 32nd and Chestnut, the scene of so many ultimate Frisbee games before, to unwind and before a busy Friday.
