Speakers from Citron WorkSpaces, Transwestern, YourBusinessEdge, Office Evolution and Flatirons Bank were on site to give helpful insight into their industries in the current economic market, and $1000 in prizes were given away to attendees.

If you have any feedback, comments or suggestions about the event, or if you are interested in attending or speaking at our next event, please contact Christy or Emily. The next event will be held at the OE Park Meadows business center in mid July (more details to come) – we hope to see you there!

DesignDivine was founded by Todd Dumas in 2001 and operated as a sole proprietorship for the first several years.  In 2007, Todd brought a web developer and several contract graphic/web designers on board, and together they began taking on larger projects for more established businesses.

Member Success Story

Boulder-based Office Evolution member gains ground in the energy-drink market

Fuzzee Bee Beverage, an Office Evolution member since August 2009, recently went national with ZUN energy drink, selling the uniquely-flavored, “rocket bottle” packaged beverage on shelves in 79% of 400 Kum & Go stores across the US. Brian Stearns, sole owner of the company, was interviewed by the Boulder County Business Report, and ZUN was featured in the May 14-27 edition.

Brian says having a virtual office was the best answer for his company since they don’t manufacture in-house and the product and product components are provided by vendors who have their own manufacturing facilities, thus eliminating his need for a large, private office space.

“[Office Evolution] has saved me a ton of cash and is also very flexible in the event I need meeting space or wifi.”
