We just celebrated five awesome years of coworking in Richmond, VA... So of course a party was in order! We threw down where it all started -- Gather Downtown! Check out this fun photo collection starting with our celebration last week, and from there we'll move on to some fun photos of our original location!
Y'all let's talk about a SPREAD! Not pictured is the waffle bar and the drinks room -- that's right, a whole room dedicated to you getting your libation.
