A new model for small and mid-sized communities
theClubhou.se Mission
We believe that every community deserves a place where people can connect with others, share ideas, find support, and learn new skills. Where these places exist, people create opportunities and local economies thrive. Our mission is to foster a culture of innovation and collaboration in mid-size and rural communities through educational and community building programs to support inclusive entrepreneurship and technology development.
Today, theClubhou.se is a coworking space, a makerspace, a code school, a startup accelerator, a prototyping lab, a mentorship network, an organizer of events, and think tank. It’s also a support resource for organizations in communities across the nation that are working to grow their local innovation economy.
Innovation economies thrive when everyone has the resources and opportunities to meet their potential. To make this possible, our offerings are as diverse as our community.
theClubhou.se inspires ideas, creates companies, and builds community. Founded in 2012, theClubhou.se is a division of Hack Augusta, inc., non-profit 501(c)3 dedicated to growing a culture of innovation and collaboration. We have 230 members and have helped grow 200 companies that create over 1500 jobs. Our events and programs serve over 25,000 people and our classes help thousands learn new skills in technology, business, and design so they can thrive in an innovation economy.
