The Vine

The Vine is a massive supporter of the startup and tech eco system in San Diego. Their space is amazing, the founders and their teams are excited to be there and sharing that atmosphere is unlike anything I have experienced before. Not to mention the amazing support Community Manager Michelle brings to the space. Need coworking space in San Diego? Seriously don’t bother looking anywhere else. The Irvine Company is the number one landlord for a reason, no other company cares about the startup eco system or fosters the community like they do.

Over the course of our first year, the resources, connections and flexibility at the Vine have proven to be a key component in our success. I guess it’s worth mentioning as well, that they don’t nickel and dime people to rent a conference room, etc, I had a bad experience where it wasn’t explained that the monthly rate didn’t cover anything at another co-​working space in San Diego, that isn’t something you’ll run into at The Vine, just fyi… Typically, property managers just show up to collect a check every month, with the Vine, it couldn’t be more different in their approach. If you are looking for customers, they will do what they can to help, if you are looking for employees, they will help, if you have a last second investor/​client meeting, they will bend over backwards to ensure that there is no interruption to your business (and the Irvine Company has also provided them the resources to do so). They have done everything from provide my employees and students with free Wine/​app afternoons, to free help in the form of connecting us with social media experts. It’s so much more than a co-​working space for freelancers or start-​ups, it’s a community and Michelle, Michelle, Coral and Barbara really care about the success of your company and do anything they can to ensure there are never interruptions to being able to conduct business, and as a business owner, that is a rare and invaluable quality for a co-​working space…
