New non-profit TechShop replacement on SF peninsula
- jschrempp 9y agoA non-profit creating a new makerspace on the SF peninsula similar to what TechShop was.
- URSpider94 9y agoI've been communicating with the MakerNexus board for the past few weeks, and attended an info session at Hacker Dojo last Friday. The principals have a very well-thought-out business plan, and solid credentials in both business and the maker movement (all are former TS DC's or multi-year members, and/or have run professional fabrication businesses). The board is pledging total transparency on income, costs and roadmap -- no middle-of-the-night shutdowns. Ultimately, I think this formula (reasonable aspirations, frugality, volunteer contributions and charitable donations, transparency, driven by and for makers) is the key to success where TS failed.
- jschrempp 9y agoI agree. Thanks for putting it so well.
