Co-Working: The Speak Easy in Indianapolis

The Speak Easy in Indianapolis bills itself as “a combination of a 17th century salon, coffee shop, and science lab.” Companies pay yearly dues and have access to common areas and a conference room, as well as a gaming center and semi-regular events. The Speak Easy is a place for entrepreneurs, startups, and the folks who support them to work, play, and collaborate.

The new startup space is the brainchild of least three groups of people that includes some usual suspects of the Indianapolis startup community: Kristian Andersen, Jeb Banner, Mark Hill, Chris Baggott, Jim Jay, Eric Tobias, Andy Clark, and David Castor (to name a few).

It's essentially a clubhouse for entrepreneurs, designers, and geeks. We believe that bringing these folks together in a fun, productive work environment is the surest way to accelerate the development and launch of high-growth startups in Central Indiana.
