CREATING MORE OPPORTUNITIES

COMMUNITY FUNDED WORKSPACE MEMBERSHIPS

Part of our mission is to create a more just and equitable community of entrepreneurs and business leaders. In service of this ambition, we built Community Funded Memberships into The Coven as part of our business model from day one. For every five active memberships, we offer a fully-paid Grow membership to a person who has applied for access to our workspaces at Eat Street, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, or Eau Claire.
