About 30 members of the community gathered at StartupCity Des Moines Thursday afternoon to continue a discussion about what would best serve the community once StartupCity’s funding runs out.
In January, StartupCity announced funding through Sept. 2014, but a plan for what happens after has yet to be determined.
From a program similar to St. Louis’ Arch Grants and the addition of an accelerator to continued co-working and more concentrated efforts on attracting high school or college-age students, ideas regarding what would best serve the community took many forms. While there weren’t many tangible outcomes from the hour-long discussion, even in its earliest stages the ideas for what comes after StartupCity highlighted the space’s successes and value as a community hub.
While a date has not been set, Christian Renaud said Thursday that StartupCity will likely host a second community town hall to continue the conversation.
