I met Tyler Ford (founder of Industry Coworking) six years ago when I had just moved to Charlotte. At that time he was running a place called Lightbulb Coworking on the corner of Summit and Mint in South End. Great guy. Hadn’t seen him in six years.
Tyler strikes me as a laid-back guy that executes. He wouldn’t even get into a photo when I tried to force him. Heck, look at his LinkedIn:

- In talks with hot pop-up coffee bar HEX Coffee on opening up a permanent location within the new Industry expansion area. Tyler gave it a “50-50” chance of happening. I love HEX Coffee.
- Industry’s private offices sell out quickly, but they continue to look for ways to cater to individual creatives. Tyler told me, “We are really excited about providing a great space for the individual person who just needs a great place to work. Our open desk membership is our best opportunity to continue to grow and bring more and more dynamic and like-minded people together … as well as help us become a larger resource for the creative, tech and entrepreneurial scene.”
- Industry has event and meeting spaces for groups of 10 to 125.
- The next #WeLoveCLT monthly event series will be hosted at Industry instead of #WeLoveCLT’s previous speaker spot, @809.
