New Haven already has a lot of coworking spaces. However, the city’s small businesses seem to open one more space. Called the iHaven, this space will be targeted towards local colleges and student entrepreneurs.
According to the plans of the city’s small businesses, there was a meeting between officials where economic development was discussed. There, it was decided whether to meet the second floor or the City Hall.
iHaven will be gaining and getting a lot of attention. According to Graves and Garcia, they have already received $150,000 CTnext grant from ECIC (Elm City Innovation Collaborative (ECIC).
iHaven bears a lot of similarity to Collab. iHaven will be pitching a lot of competitions for new students so that they can showcase their ideas to their peers.
Idea Behind iHaven
According to iHaven, the new space will be targeted towards students and entrepreneurs.
Continuous grants mean that people are interested in their collaboration and they want spaces like these to open up so that people can find an ideal ground to meet, mix and match with each other.
