I connected with Jo and BABC when I moved to San Francisco in 2017 to set up Werqwise and have been involved ever since.  Not only has BABC helped us get established in the Bay Area, Jo and the whole organization have connected us with a huge number of useful people and organizations and have even made significant numbers of business referrals.  The BABC has been enormously helpful in raising awareness about our co-working spaces both in San Francisco and now also in San Mateo; we have co-hosted many events and really helped showcase the value that we offer to our own members – many of whom now also flourish within the Werqwise community.  We are both proud and honored to be able to help both the BABC and all of its members by providing a space where they can host their own events, hold meetings or just come to hang out.  The BABC has also introduced us to many important and relevant connections that have led to many other amazing partnerships.  I also have the honor of serving on the BABC Board of Directors, providing access to senior members of the community including the UK Government.  I cannot recommend the BABC enough if you are looking to land, expand and accelerate within the Bay Area.
