CIC started in Cambridge, MA, home to some no-name universities, in 1999 (haha, we’re joking, think Harvard and MIT). Their first expansion outside of Massachusetts was CIC St. Louis in 2014, landing them directly in the Cortex district. Since then, they’ve expanded to three separate offices in the area, and they’ve brought the innovative Venture Cafe to 4240 Duncan. CIC’s focus is the tech and bioscience fields, and with over 150 businesses in their St. Louis offices alone, collaborations between companies couldn’t be easier.

Who’s it for?
If you’re part of a bio/tech firm and you haven’t dreamed about working in CIC, you’re not thinking clearly.

Amenities
Where do we start? Private offices, concierge services, fully stocked kitchens, use of CIC’s coworking spaces abroad (hello, Rotterdam!), a gym, and a lab full of things we don’t understand.
