The Circuit Celebrates Fifth Anniversary The Cherokee Office of Economic Development (COED), the Woodstock Office of Economic Development (WOED), Chattahoochee Technical College (Chatt Tech), and nearly 50 guests from Cherokee’s entrepreneurial community recently celebrated The Circuit Woodstock’s fifth anniversary.The Circuit is Cherokee’s first coworking space and Chatt Tech’s Student Center. Founded in collaboration with COED, WOED, and Chatt Tech, the 3,000-square-foot coworking space serves as an innovation hub for entrepreneurs, students, and the community. Also located within the space is Alma Coffee at Circle of Friends Coffee Shop at The Circuit Café. Access to local talent and resources makes The Circuit a supportive environment for business.“The Circuit offers a unique opportunity for our students to network with local startups,” said Chatt Tech Vice President of Facilities David Simmons. “Some of these businesses have even hired many of our students. It’s a great partnership and a win-win for all parties involved.” The event featured a panel discussion led by Woodstock-based entrepreneur Jonathan Chambers and six successful Circuit members, who shared how their businesses got started and scaled out of The Circuit. Panelists included Black Airplane co-founders David Leggett and Mayor Michael Caldwell, MOKO President and founder Thomas Cantley, SuiteSciens founder Shalakay Gibbs, Grow ROI founder Ben Carter, and Alma Coffee co-founder Harry Hutchins. During the presentation, Leggett reflected on being The Circuit Woodstock’s founding member and launching award-winning digital design and development agency Black Airplane saying, “This coworking space was tremendously valuable to our team – it was our launchpad. Without The Circuit, I don’t know if we would have a company today.”The Circuit offers a variety of membership levels including hot desks at $100/month, dedicated desks at $150/month, and private offices at $350/month.
