U.S. Bancorp Tower (Big Pink)

Cup of Joe Coffee Roasters and The Vault Bookstore is a great place to relax with a good book and a cup of coffee. With hundreds of books across all genres, and delicious coffee with specialty roasts and delectable flavors, this is the perfect spot to unwind in the Big Pink lobby.

The objective of this meetup is for you to connect with your fellow founders, talk about what you are struggling with, and just get to know the community.

Hope to see you all there!

As a business owner, you are faced with many challenges. You're forced to make decisions every day that could make or break your business. founder.coffee is a way to network with other entrepreneurs to allow free-flowing information with the intent to collaborate and help each other. So often we're challenged, and there's very little we can do to express our challenges with the people we work with or the people we care about. Think of founder.coffee as your own personal support group for business owners. We're all here to help!

Recently, technology companies have shifted from decades of traditional office environments (cubicles and private office space) to collaborative open spaces with a unique balance between work and play. This new way of thinking has set new standards for the way we work. Is this environmental shift working? Is it increasing the amount of innovation and productivity? What has the impact been on recruitment and retention? And why have so many companies adopted this shift?

Join us on October 1st as we take a peek inside 5 local technology companies (located in the US Bankcorp Tower) and hear how the shift has effective their companies and their employees. The evening will conclude with a networking reception hosted by Unico Properties.

Company Tours Include: Survey Monkey, New Relic, Webtrends, Incomm & Insight Global Inc.
