Having the usual? ☕️
If your barista knows more about you than your best friend does - it might be time to think about a change of scenery. Why not consider Ascender?
Our brightly lit third floor space offers flexible seating - from desks to couches to counter tops - plus phone booths when you really need a quiet spot for that Zoom call, and conference rooms when the Zoom call switches to an in-person meeting.
Missing the coffee shop small talk? Grab a seat next to a fellow co-worker and ask what they’re working on!
There’s free parking, free snacks, free wifi, and yes - free coffee too. There’s also happy hours, group events, workshops and more all available to you with your membership.
Skip out on your daily $6 latte and join us! Click the link in our bio to learn more!
What is Ascender?❓
Well, that depends on who you ask. So we figured we’d ask around, starting with our current longest running employee and Ascender’s face at the door - Sam!

“That cup of coffee changed my life…” ☕️
You may have heard that phrase thrown around, or maybe even said it yourself, but for Paul McMahon it’s actually true.
Paul is the founder and CEO of , a patented system to make cold brew on the go using K-Cups; zero electricity required. He also happens to be a graduate of our 2024 Bootcamp.
Kevo Brew went from idea, to prototype, to a commercial product that made its debut on Amazon earlier this spring. Fueled by coffee - and a boost from Ascender and our mentors - Paul’s product is now shipping nationwide and Kevo Brew has its sites set on future product expansion.
Are you ready to make your life-changing idea a reality?
We can’t stop thinking about this past Saturday’s Bootcamp pitch presentations.
Each one of our founders blew us away with their passionate pitches and how much their businesses have grown over the course of just 2 weeks. Our judging panels were just as impressed.
There was definitely a collective sigh of relief when the presentations were over.
Congrats to all of our bootcampers - we can’t wait to see how your businesses grow and transform over the next year!
And thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the volunteers, judges, mentors, and experts for making our *10TH* annual bootcamp a major success.
