Yesterday I lunched with Abbie from SFMade an organization whose mission isto build and support a vibrant and sustainable manufacturing sector in San Francisco. It's important not only to me but to the City, on whose behalf I take the liberty of speaking, that our local economy has greater diversity - and so with over 500 member companies SFMade is doing a fantastic job.
After lunch we walked back to SFMade's headquarters which is located in TechShop's building on Howard Street. I had heard of TechShop before but never been to their place so it was a real treat to see a huge DIY workshop filled with everything that anyone would need to design and manufacture their products (in addition, if you have a great idea but don't know how to design/manufacture, they will teach you).
It's a membership organization and I don't exactly recall what the fee structure is other than remembering that it is incredibly affordable! They have other locations in the States so if you aren't near San Francisco there might be one near you. If you want to know more about TechShop click here.
Been quite a while since I've posted on my blog and feeling a bit rusty so I'm going to leave it at this. As usual I like to end my blogs with a music clip that is thematically related and it's been a real challenge on this one. Just can't think of any songs about "manufacturing" - this is as close as I got. Like I said, I'm feeling a bit rusty.
