Startup Stories by Jared Haas and Tim Derrington

Today we are joined by two architects based in Austin, Texas.

Tim Derrington is the principal of Derrington Building Studio, a firm focused on community and domestic architecture.

Jared Haas is the principal of Unbox Studio, a collaborative modern design studio.

Several years ago they came together to form the Eastside Collective, a co-working space for architects and design-focused businesses.

The found the space, took out financing, and built out the space with their own blood, sweat and tears - you'll hear more about that later.

In today's episode they talk about how the Eastside Collective came about, including the challenges along the way and how much time, effort and money it took to pull this project off.
