Welcome to The Articulate Blog! This blog gives an insight into The Articulate and the benefits of coworking, highlights the fantastic work from our members, and showcases the many events that are held in our creative space.
The team that helped make the space what it is today.
The Articulate began when Patrick Edmiston was renting out an old warehouse on the edge of Old Town Fort Collins for photo shoots for his company, PHOCO Photography. After about a year, an idea began to grow in Patrick’s ever-creative mind. The warehouse had a lot of unused space and Patrick recognized the opportunity to transform it into a new coworking space for creative individuals. He soon bought the space and he and his team began planning renovations for what would become The Articulate. While spreading the word about this new coworking space, Patrick was introduced to John Iverson. John has an immense experience in studio management with heading studios in Los Angeles, New York, and Milan and was immediately excited about the idea of coworking in Fort Collins. The two were eager to partner and combine their resources to grow The Articulate. The construction and renovations had their ups and downs, but soon enough on July 1st 2016, The Articulate was ready to open. Patrick and his team at PHOCO had vigorously spread the word to anyone and everyone who might be interested and could gain from the space. By the time the opening party came around, there was no shortage of interest with a few hundred people in attendance.
The Articulate has attracted the interest of companies and entrepreneurs looking for office space and over time, more and more members have joined. By targeting creative individuals, The Articulate has an immense amount of impressive talent with members ranging from photographers, video and virtual reality producers, search engine optimizers, and even a law firm geared to assist small businesses. When learning about The Articulate or walking around the space, one word is often overheard and impossible to overlook: community. Since day one, The Articulate has had a laid back, casual, open door feel that spreads through every member. Each member is eager to assist and use their unique skill set to view and suggest ways to help one another. This community eliminates the sense of competing with one another and instead creates the sense of how we can all aid one another. Through member showcases, happy hours, education events, and community events, The Articulate provides many networking opportunities to learn about other members and/or voice needs for assistance.
In such a short time, The Articulate has grown and already established itself as a premier coworking space in Northern Colorado. Next week, coworking spaces and entrepreneurs in Fort Collins have teamed up for Fort Collins Startup Week. All week, people have the opportunity to hear from local businesses as well as try coworking at various spaces. The Articulate is proud to have members hosting events throughout the week as well as opening our doors on Tuesday, February 28th to anyone interested in coworking and learning more about our space.
