Impact Hub
Impact Hub of Salt Lake, was started in 2013 by Dustin Haggett, after he observed the concept in San Francisco. Impact Hub is a franchise that provides flexible offices and space to its members, made up of entrepreneurs, nonprofits, community organizations, freelancers etc, who desire a sense of community and mentoring.
Impact Hub also offers ongoing programs, events and skills building workshops. They supply fiber internet and multiple meeting rooms, and on a daily basis you will encounter 80 or more people.
“We are really trying to focus on our impact and our global community,” Haggett said. “We have a really diverse startup community and a lean startup accelerator, BoomStartup, that operates out of our space.”
Membership fees range from $35 a month, which gives you access to all the events and programs, to $200 a month which is a 24/7 unlimited membership to the space and all they offer.
“It can be a lonely thing when you are starting your own business or nonprofit,” Haggett said. “Just being around other people that are also doing it or have done it, can really accelerate the learning curve.
Impact Hub is located at 150 South State Street #1
