Hard Hat Tour

Here are some pictures of the first group of entrepreneurs to come through 1871. (Thanks Neal and Todd!) About 100 people, with hard hats on, came to see the progress that’s being made with the build-out. Unlike most of the other events we’ve had – where more than 200 entrepreneurs participated in dozens of sessions that helped shape the design plans and identity of 1871 – this event was more of a show-and-tell and a Q&A. We’ll continue to have other events to gather more input around the operations and classes at 1871 as we prepare to open.

The enthusiasm on the tour was palpable, and based on the increase in the number of applications that have come in today, seeing the space first-hand convinced a number of people that 1871 is where they want to build their business.

Thanks to everyone who came out on a Saturday afternoon to see 1871 under construction. And for those of you who didn’t make it yesterday but are interested in seeing the space, we’ll have more tours in the coming weeks. Make sure you’re on our mailing list for updates of dates and times.
