We Work In Philly: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 19:23, 18 February 2025

weWorkInPhilly is a community edited guide to the People, Companies, Groups, Projects, Products, and Resources that make up the creative, technology, and business community in Philadelphia. It was launched by Alex Hillman and Linus Graybill on July 6th, 2011.

When somebody asks you where you're from, do you tell them "Philadelphia"? Being "in" Philadelphia is more about identity than about geography. As the creative, technology, and business community in Philadelphia continues to flourish, it's common for stories to unfold and begin to spread through our city, region, and the world.

If being "in Philadelphia" isn't part of those stories, everybody loses.

Our goal is for this guide to help stories about the creative, technology, and business community to be told with Philadelphia as a part of the story. Simultaneously, we can make it easier for people to find someone or something that inspires them that's in their own backyard.

Note: The above descriptive information came from the company's About weWorkInPhilly page.
