GrepBeat welcomed DeShawn Brown, the Founder and CEO of Raleigh-based Coworks, as the final Friday Nooner guest before heading on a well-deserved (says us) summer hiatus.

DeShawn recounted some “glory days” as an undergrad at NC State as it spun up its entrepreneurship program, and later spun things forward by explaining how the ongoing shift toward hybrid work environments presents a major opportunity for Coworks’ software platform for managing shared work spaces.

Thanks again to our sponsor Hutchison law firm. The Friday Nooner will return on Friday, Sept. 1.
