In the month of July, we celebrated 10 years of Flywheel. In those 10 years, we have had the honor of supporting countless local businesses and startups along with hundreds of members in the community in accelerating their professional and personal goals. From the start, we have committed ourselves to our mission to provide a space that is customized to the community and committed to positive impact. While reflecting on our work over the years and realigning our purpose, we continue to ask ourselves, “What makes a coworking space thrive and how can we improve the day-to-day experience for our...
Since the start, Flywheel has made it a mission to not just provide a space for people to work, but a space for them to grow.

It always feels incredible when we get to see the product of that energy through the success of our members. But it is extra special when we see them succeeding together. Flywheel members Daniel Alvarez and Jason Levinson have been working together for almost three months in a partnership that was born out of this space. After being placed...

It’s not always easy to admit the ways in which we are struggling. It has been nearly three years since the COVID-19 pandemic grinded businesses to a halt and set us all along a path of immense change. We all want to move on, reluctant to concede that some things have remained difficult to overcome. The reality, however, is that businesses all over the world are still dealing with the fallout of post-pandemic disconnection—something Flywheel is dedicated to helping people overcome.
Understanding Post-Pandemic Disconnection
First, let’s talk about what post-pandemic disconnection is. It comes...
On December 8, 2022, we held our annual Chili Bowl for Flywheel Members and they brought the heat. Literally! It was a great day to be a Flywheeler and to be hungry! We gathered in the Social Commons for fellowship and food…but we, of course, needed to know whose chili was the best of the best.
To spice things up this year, the competition was split into two categories, Basic- think standard classic chili and Bougie- unique and creative creations, to keep things interesting and fun for all. Congratulations to our 2022 winners!
Our Basic winners:

Prior to the pandemic, many working parents longed to work from home to save time, to avoid time-wasting commutes, and to spend more time with their families.
