The Prairie Den crowd funding campaign came to a close last night, with a total of 61 co-founders! We now have the largest number of co-founders for a single company in the whole world. We look forward to seeing you all rockin’ those co-founder t-shirts. Thank you for believing in us. With your help, we raised a total of $2,281!!!
The proceeds allow us to purchase technology for our conference rooms, standing desks, furniture, art, high-speed Internet, free coffee and everything else that goes into creating a vibrant coworking and event space.
So far we have 47 members (aka Prairie Dogs) and we have been busy hauling furniture up to our space above King House Buffet (122 1/2 Broadway) all week long. Shout outs are in order to our Emerging Prairie interns Jackson, Liv and Bri, as well as to Mark Staples, Brent McNeal, Neil Iversen, Drew Spooner, and Eric Christianson for assisting in carrying everything from couches to credenzas (even braving the sketchy Black Building elevator). These champs are helping to make this space feel more and more like home.
In other exciting news, John Machacek and his son Jack dropped off some Snickers, Twix, and drumstick ice cream “because the freezer looked empty” …courtesy of the EDC. #ilovefargo
Other tasty treats featured in the space include Sandy’s Donuts, 20 Below Coffee & Dot’s Pretzels. Stop by for a snack and a tour! See you soon.
