“Early on, we had a spot at the 20Fathoms coworking space and that’s where we started to build the company. It was great meeting investors and meeting other companies. It provided the structure that we needed to move forward to as a manufacturing company.”
“As a young entrepreneur who started out with little answers on how to get this business running, I reached out to 20Fathoms from a simple search on the web and have been granted so much helpful advice, including the big steps leading up to my very first TCNewTech pitch. They give so much of their time and personal experiences to help the start ups in the TC area. For that, I’m so grateful to work with them and continue to build my business in their region.”
“20Fathoms, first and foremost, are just a good bunch of people. Part of the challenges of being an entrepreneur and working on your own is encouragement. Having a place to go with some progressively-minded people who you can knock ideas around with, go to lunch with, talk about your dogs with…it’s just a great community.”
“20Fathoms, through its thoughtful and proactive approach and via the ever-widening entrepreneurial ecosystem it has created in northern Michigan, is an invaluable ally for companies like MeetingMaker.”
