MESH FORT COLLINS
is a great new community for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in the region. You might know that it took over the space formerly occupied by Galvanize at 242 Linden Street.
Mesh is an expansion of an idea that’s seen success in Japan as Future Venture Capital Ltd. FVC Americas was established last year to become the hub in northern Colorado for startups with great potential.

No stable job roles.
No defined work hours, days, locations.
