Grace:
Great Friday, TGIF. Grace on the go here at LaunchHouse here in Highland Heights, 675 Alpha Drive, suite G. Hey, I’m here. It’s Friday, and this is amazing. LaunchHouse is a coworking community. It’s so diverse, first of all. There are so many people from so many different backgrounds, so many different industries. And they come and they network, and they make things happen. Here’s Andy, he’s going to tell us why he is here at LaunchHouse and he’s going to tell us what he does.
Anthony:
So, I actually started here in a very different industry than I’m in now. I started in software and I found LaunchHouse actually while I was in Chicago working on starting a software company. And I made my way to LaunchHouse, because when I visited with my wife I realized that there was this mass, this critical mass of people who were very different from me, who had different skill sets, and different ideas, and different knowledge that I could leverage to help my business grow. And through the transition, it’s been almost seven years now, through the transition, I now actually have just started this last year, a company called Pure Foods, which we’re really focusing on the food space, and the intersection of food technology, and all of that. And helping small food companies that are wholesome, healthy, real food companies get past that early start stage, because most of them experience this great start and then hit this wall somewhere between 70,000 and 350,000 in revenue and need help growing. And so, most like any entrepreneur, they’re good at one or two things, and not good at the other stuff. So we try and come in and bring resources to help take the things that they don’t like, they’re not good at, off their plate and allow them to get back to doing the things that they’re good at.
Grace:
Yes.
Anthony:
Developing, creating and selling.
Grace:
But that’s what LaunchHouse is. It’s a network. It’s coworking. So bring your ideas, calling all entrepreneurs, business owners, freelancers that don’t fit in the typical nine to five mold, right? You want to get the network. I mean, the energy here is amazing, so many different people, so many different ideas. They have the launch and learn where you can learn from business owners.
Anthony:
Right.
Grace:
Business owners come in and bring their expertise. They have a happy hour where you sit and you collaborate. Everything is relational. Come and get more information.
