What we’re about
We are working to create an organization to better serve the South Austin maker and small business community. It will provide creative resources for both hobby and small business (i.e. prototyping or small lot production) activities. Leased office space, co-working resources, and educational activities are also in the plan.
We have a quarterly roundtable meeting to work on organizational topics. Please feel free to join the discussion.
