  1. CreateHere Fellow + SpringBoard Grad + MakeWork Recipient featured in “The Pulse” Monday, April 20, 2009

    This week’s edition of The Pulse features an article on five Chattanooga innovators, and we’re thrilled to have worked with three of those individuals.

    Harv Wileman, CreateHere’s MakeWork coordinator, talks about the epic, enlightening task of accepting and organizing 107 MakeWork grant applications.

    Wendy Buckner, founder of The Hot Chocolatier, graduated from SpringBoard’s Business Planning Course and now runs, happily, one of Chattanooga’s most delicious start-ups. Find her chocolates on the web, or visit her 1000-sq. foot kitchen in the Small Business Development Building.

    Nick DuPey, a MakeWork recipient currently enrolled in the Business Planning Course, talks about his screen-printing shop, Young Monster, which he opened with partner Zach Hobbs. The shop provides instruction and equipment for local musicians interested in promoting themselves with unique, hand-made t-shirts and posters.

    We’re happy to celebrate the work of all local innovators, inside or outside of CreateHere’s walls. Keep doing what you do so well, Chattanooga!
