It all started with a simple idea…

town hall 2.0

A communal space for the 21st century

COhatch was started by 6 friends motivated to create a better way of working and living for themselves, and in turn, for many others. Inspired by the opportunity of a dilapidated space in the center of a charming neighborhood in Columbus, OH, they dreamt of a space where people could work close to home, be involved in the local community, meet people, and have the opportunity to spend quality time with their families.

Strengthen communities.

Improve Lives.

Equip people to be greater.

We accomplish this mission by restoring great buildings in the heart of neighborhoods, filling them with great people who run businesses, nonprofits, and startups, and giving them the tools they need to succeed in what they do.

continuing to grow

Since our first location opened in 2016, we’ve developed a network of more than 30 COhatch locations across multiple cities, given scholarships to hundreds of nonprofits, startups, and community partners, and grown a community of thousands of members. We hope to continue providing neighborhoods all across the country the connection and spaces they need to work, meet, and live.
