[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Last week, NewBoCo packed up our bags and said goodbye to our home of three years…and moved across the hallway into Vault Coworking!
Converge Consulting, the fastest growing company in Iowa, previously occupied part of the first floor of the Geonetric Building, home to Geonetric, NewBoCo, Vault Coworking, and Iowa BIG. As Converge embarks on a three year growth plan, they’re moving upstairs to our previous space to accommodate their expansion.[/text_output][blockquote cite=”” id=”” class=”” style=””]“When selecting an office space, we knew we wanted to stay in NewBo,” said Ann Oleson, CEO and Founder of Converge in a post on their website. “The talent, energy, and ideas created here allow tremendous opportunity for professional development, business growth, and community impact.”[/blockquote][text_output]We couldn’t agree more, so we moved into Vault! Vault is the coworking space run by NewBoCo in 415, and it’s filled with dynamic entrepreneurs who provide the energy crucial to our mission, accelerating world-changing ideas from Iowa.[/text_output][blockquote cite=”” id=”” class=”” style=””]“I’ve worked with Vault and with NewBoCo simultaneously, separated by a wall keeping the greatness of each largely out of view of the other,” said John Foster, Vault Community Manager and NewBoCo’s Graphic Designer. “I’m so happy NewBoCo has moved over to share the Vault space. It’s a great move that will only favor both, sharing all of these great ideas in the same space.”[/blockquote][text_output]We have a lot to celebrate with our move into Vault. Even though we’ve only been here for a short time, our new “co-workers” have made it feel like home.[/text_output][blockquote cite=”” id=”” class=”” style=””]“I’m glad to have so many great minds to share our space with,” said Mandy Webber, NewBoCo’s Director of Innovation. “More smiles and encouragement in a day reminds you how valuable the work you’re doing is.”[/blockquote][text_output]If you’re looking to share in the energy of all these ideas, come join us and work in Vault! With 20,000 square feet of office and lab space, there’s plenty of room for more people to co-work here. To get a taste of what our community is like, join us any Friday at 3:00 PM for the Innovation Ecosystem Tour hosted by NewBoCo staff. This public tour shows you all of the exciting things happening at the Geonetric Building, including:
- Geonetric: A 7-time Inc. 5000 Award winning company that develops web sites and digital strategies for hospitals and health systems across the US. Geonetric has a perfectly flat org chart and runs without traditional management and all teams are self-organizing.
- NewBoCo: an aggressive nonprofit that operates more than a dozen unique programs including K-12 STEAM education, startup support programs, and corporate innovation. Most recently, it was named one of the Corridor Business Journal’s Coolest Places to Work.
- Iowa Startup Accelerator, powered by NewBoCo: Iowa’s first accelerator is an intensive program that matches tech-based startups with world-class mentors, Midwestern work ethic, seed funding, and product development expertise to accelerate their business to a successful exit.
- Iowa BIG: Iowa’s initiative-based high school program.
- Vault Prototyping Labs, powered by NewBoCo: our virtual reality and hardware engineering prototyping facilities. GOVRED Technology, an Iowa Startup Accelerator portfolio team working in VR/AR, is willing to do a virtual reality demo for you!
- DeltaV Code School, powered by NewBoCo: Iowa’s first and only adult code school.
On this tour, you can see if we’re the sort of environment that’s right for you! Also, if you’re over 21, you’re invited to join us for our weekly celebration of progress, Whiskey Friday, after the tour ends.
Hope to see you here soon!
