Check out Betamore’s new space at City Garage
In December, Betamore CEO Jen Meyer and Demian Costa of Sagamore Ventures stood in the Main Street section of City Garage and said that a second location of Betamore would be coming to the Kevin Plank-backed space for startups in Port Covington. About six months later, 8,000 square feet of coworking, offices and education almost completely fills the long corridor.
The Made in America sign is still there and offices for companies still round the outside. In the middle, it now has the carpeting, hanging light fixtures and furniture that signals startup space.
On a tour this week, Meyer pointed out how it was designed for flexibility, with walls that retract between offices and an option to open up the classroom and conference space to face a projected screen instead of a board.
They also built up to a second floor mezzanine on top of the offices and incubator, where there are more desks. Meyer said the 99 spaces are filling up, but openings are still available.
The expansion doubles the footprint of Betamore, which is maintaining its initial location at 1111 Light St. in Federal Hill. As a result, the nonprofit hired a new manager for the Federal Hill space.
