“At its core, The Riveter was created for all women to thrive.”
WITH TODAY’S MODERN AND, MORE NOTABLY, MOBILE CULTURE, WE FIND OURSELVES WITH THE ABILITY TO RUN OUR BUSINESSES FROM WHEREVER OUR LIVES TAKE US. While we can answer emails and run socials from the phone in our pockets, there are still times when we find the need for a conference room or a community of like-minded individuals who understand what it can be like to work for yourself or remotely. Because of this, co-working spaces are more popular than ever. “Built by women, for everyone” is the motto for The Riveter, a local female-owned co-working and community space. Amy Nelson, its founder and CEO, tells us about what makes this space so unique. WHAT IS THE RIVETER’S VISION? The Riveter is a community where all women—inclusive of any race, sexuality, age, ability or marital status—can access the resources they need to build their businesses and networks. We are proud to center women while being welcoming to all. More than anything, we understand that equity in work won’t be realized without everyone having a seat at the table. At its core, The Riveter was created for all women to thrive. At The Riveter Bellevue and any of our six (and growing) locations, members can find best-in-class professional and personal development programming, robust membership options and collaborative workspaces. Our programming fosters community, and we often see connections between our members lead to new businesses or partnerships as a result.
