314. Empowering Innovation: CIC Philadelphia's Coworking Approach to Community, Technology, and Inclusiveness
Michelle Ottey is the Managing Director of CIC in Philadelphia.
The facility hosts 140,000 square feet of workspace, lab space, and more.
How do you stay focused on member experience and community building in 140,000 square feet…well…the Treat Trolleys stocking Klondike bars are a good start 🙂
But seriously, CIC Philadelphia is an incredible ecosystem that supports your “typical” solopreneur, as well as startups looking to commercialize life science technology.
They also have a strong focus on DEI and one of their OKRs is to help their member companies build a culture of inclusiveness.
This episode is a great case study on the diversity of shared space users and business models.
