About Us
For two generations the building at 355 1st Street NW housed the entrepreneurial spirit. When our founder saw it was for sale, she thought it was the perfect place for entrepreneurs, small business owners and creatives to work together while sharing the costs of office space. So now, a third generation of entrepreneurs fills the space with energy and community.
Why call it ‘The Guild’?
It’s an ancient European idea. In England, merchants grouped together as guilds for security and leadership. The right to form a guild was granted by the crown. The merchant guilds shared resources in order to support the community.
Quality, trusted businesses. Sharing with the community. Building community among like-minded members. That’s what we aim to create in Cleveland and Bradley County!
Why coworking?
It may be new to say ‘coworking’ in Cleveland, but it’s been happening in town for a while!
Coworking is any office space shared by more than one company. Anywhere people are working in the same space, but for different businesses.
The Guild’s founders decided to open a space for that specific purpose, allowing people with memberships to share space, meet like-minded individuals, and launch their businesses.
We have plenty of room for innovators, creatives, entrepreneurs, small business and the work-from-home crowd to find a place to thrive.
