The Commons is also shaped by a circle of collaborators across the region’s founder, university and professional communities.

How this started

The Commons began with a simple observation.

The people who build companies in this region, the firms that back them, and the universities and professionals who support them were all doing serious work, in separate rooms. Public gatherings like the Builder Series brought some of them into one room, and the conversations that followed made the case for a permanent one.
