Phone Booths
With 67 startups sharing one of ce, a private call comes at a premium.
The space boasts three phone booths on wheels, custom designed by
Launch Academy founder Ray Walia's father. "We have a lot of people
ask if they can get one," says Walia, "but he doesn't build them, so
we've contracted them out to a construction company."
Kitchen
Long hours mean a well-used
kitchen, with a dedicated
beer fridge—for Fridays and
weekends only—a foosball
table and space for weekly
lectures on entrepreneurship.
"We have people who buy
groceries and cook here," says
Jackie Murchison, Launch
Academy program director.
