Happy September! We hope everyone had a great and enjoyable summer, as we move toward fall festivities. Reflection comes from this change in season, especially this quarter at 100K Ideas, with all the last few months held for our organization. In this month’s blog we take the time to review the amazing changes, additions, and advancements of 100K Ideas this past few months, and the offerings it now has for you!
OUR GRAND RE-OPENING
As many of you know, have seen, and even attended, 100K Ideas had a successful grand opening of our organization in our new space, located in the first floor of the Dryden Building. Not only celebrating our previous known services, we also launched our 100K Ideas Startup Hub and relaunched Shops on Saginaw (which we discuss in the next few points) and the exciting elements they bring to our organization, clients, supporters, and community.
SHOPS ON SAGINAW
As mentioned, we are thrilled to have relaunched Shops on Saginaw, which was previously operated out of the space we now hold. Under this new 100K Ideas program, we are able to offer a consignment style shop that allows entrepreneurs the opportunity to have a brick-and-mortar location to sell their products. Currently holding 21 vendors (with more to come), we offer a vast amount of product from these local small businesses, making it the perfect stop for your shopping excursions. Learn more about Shops, see the vendors it currently holds, and apply to be a vendor yourself, here.
100K IDEAS STARTUP HUB
The 100K Ideas Startup Hub is also officially open and actively taking new members! This micro business resource center is designed to support our local small businesses and entrepreneurs as they work to scale their business. This hub provides equipment and services to members, creating access to resources you need during this stage of your journey. This includes: first floor access, a media center, conference rooms, lounge areas, computers and monitors, access to resource partners that can help support such as finances and legal work, and more! Memberships to the 100K Ideas Startup Hub start at $29.99 a month, with scholarship pricing available for eligible individuals.

100K Ideas is grateful for all the support we have received, as well as the ability to endure this transition, and is excited what these expansions hold for our organization and community. If you haven’t yet, we welcome you to come, stop in, and check out Shops on Saginaw, our Startup Hub, and the new 100K Ideas space. Wishing everyone a positive and energized autumn season!
