As Pablo mentioned, Handwire moved into a new space in September of last year. We love it here on the capitol end of Congress near Little City, but we’ve been missing something.

About a month ago, we set out to freshen things up a bit. New hires? Nah. Inspired by places like Paragraph in NYC, we decided to rent desks in our space. So far this endeavor has worked out well. We’ve met a lot of other interesting techies and creatives in Austin and already have a few takers that we look forward to sharing space with. It’s a perfect start for what we talked about in the first post of this blog. It’s time to share knowledge and be inspired by our peers. Or, you know, just find new and interesting people to go to happy hour with after a long day. And, by the way, as of this writing, space is still available.
