The Creative Coast, an organization and workspace for creative and tech start-up businesses in Savannah, opened Creators’ Foundry last fall. Creators’ Foundry is a HIVE, “a home for innovators, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs”. As a newcomer to Savannah, I would describe Creators Foundry is as an entrepreneur space and event venue. It is located on West Boundary in an old railroad building and conveniently near Georgia State Railroad Museum.
On Wednesday mornings, 1 Million Cups happens at Creators Foundry. 1 Million Cups is a weekly gathering where local people present an idea or business. 1 Million Cups is kinda like a cross between Pecha Kucha and the New York Tech Meetup. People their pitch ideas and afterwards, there’s a question and answer session. Some of the presentations for projects that are going to be crowdfunded and some of the presentations are about marketing or expanding existing businesses and getting feedback from the audience.
This fall, the Creative Coast will host GeekEnd, a conference for creatives, entrepreneurs, gamers, techies and the like. The event will be October 15-17th.
