This week on Small Business Saturday, we sat down with Alex Hillman, co-owner of the Indy Hall Co-Working Space in Philadelphia.

This co-working space is changing the way Philadelphians work and share ideas together! Indy Hall is bringing a sense of community to the thriving industry of co-working spaces. Co-founder Alex Hillman helped start Indy Hall almost 12 years ago when he found his entrepreneurial lifestyle left him missing the daily human interactions.

So he and his partners decided to open a working space that gave their clients the option to join a community of like-minded individuals and professionals.

The Indy Hall coworking space is very quirky with many paintings and decorations. This coworking space has many member options as well as numerous events you don’t want to miss out on! Starting the first week of June, “first Fridays” will take place. Check out a quick snippet of his story and see how you can find out more info about  FREE first Fridays!.

While it feels like the whole world is changing around us, our values and virtues haven’t.

Since we started in 2006, it’s never really been about the space. Indy Hall has always been a hub for friendship, collaboration and mutual support. 

Now, maybe more than ever, we need companionship. To come together to lift and to each other up.

We need people to talk to who aren’t relying on us for work, deadlines, and deliverables. We need friendly faces and commiseration, cheerleaders in our corners, and coaches leading us forward. We need help from experts to build valuable skills so we can blast through obstacles. 

If you have an interesting story and would like to share it with the city, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
