Amenities You’ll Love
As a Columbia transplant and remote entrepreneur, the BIC has been instrumental in creating opportunities - both business and social. Whether it's a well planned networking event, casual meetups with community members, or 5 mile group runs at 7am, I am learning the landscape and integrating into the city's most creative and forward-thinking people. I think of someone like Nick Yaggie who I met at a founder dinner, who then attended my ColaStarts Pitch Night to support me sharing my newest idea, which then led to me speaking at his corporate retreat. The BIC has offered me the building blocks to succeed alongside a supportive community, and I'm happy to call it my work-from-home.
