Uproot

This year one of our missions is to work closer with independent creative technologists.

When we started out almost 4 1/2 years ago, the nice folks at Idea Couture offered us the same chance and we’re here today in part because of that experience and opportunity. So it’s only right we do that now as we transition from a start-up to a more established firm.

We’ve already worked with a few awesome people in our space and we decided we should open up a couple dedicated desks to accomodate two indviduals (or a team of two) on a full-time basis.

We’re seeking two creative, entrepreneurs, hackers or designers to join us in our space. So here’s the deal:

You get:

• Your own comfy spot at our office in a Herman Miller Aeron chair
• A VOIP phone line with unlimited national calling
• High-speed wireless Internet access
• Access to our custom-built kitchen (coffee, grinder and press, beer, convection oven/microwave – the essentials)
• Access to our bike storage room
• Use of our meeting room and presentation/teleconferencing equipment
• Loft-space office with beautiful easterly vistas of the Toronto skyline

Of course we think the chance to hang out and collab with fellow design, tech and web enthusiasts is the biggest mutual benefit.

Contact us via coshare@uprootinc.com to apply or ask questions.

The fine print

• Billed monthly on the 1st of each month
• Available April 1, 2012
• BYOPC (Bring Your Own PC)
