C3 has been up and running for about 9 months now, and it was time to grow it.  Our old space on the 10th floor at One Broadway was, well, pretty old.  In fact, it was slated for demolition.  The situation reminded me of poor Arthur Dent and his house in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to [...]

I want to send a big thank-you to Jeff Feldgoise, our first client in the new Cambridge Coworking Center, for creating our great new logo (unprompted!).  You’ve already seen it on the website, but here it is again.  It has a kind of organic magic to it.  Thanks Jeff!
