The floor of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange was open for business Saturday night as Project Skyway and CoCo hosted an open house for the new co-working space. What was once a space bustling with grain traders has been transformed into four distinct spaces including drop-in working, campsite (small company) working, meeting rooms and event space. While it remains to be seen if the cavernous area will yield to areas of more intimate collaboration CoCo founders Don Ball and Kyle Coolbroth have designed a very exciting space that they hope will mirror their success at their St. Paul location.
They appear to be well on their way as tech incubator Project Skyway and many small start-ups and individual have already set up shop in the shadow of the “big board”. Project Skyway’s, Cem Erdem noted that their first class of companies will begin working in the space starting today.
See more from Cem as well as Don and Kyle in the short video below.
Congratulations to all on the launch of another resource to further innovation at all levels. We’re looking forward to the day when the hackers figure out how to turn the big board into a ginat tweet wall. Well…maybe.
