Vibe Coworks is a dynamic, high-touch entrepreneurial hub at Vibe Coworks, especially crafted for startup founders and small business owners from across the West Sound region.

While Vibe Coworks has always had a strong focus on entrepreneurship, the launch of Matchstick Lab in partnership with Kitsap Bank allows us to more formally create an epicenter of entrepreneurial-focused programs and activities that better serve the whole of our West Sound community and go above and beyond coworking space.

This work is done in in close collaboration with key drivers of our local ecosystem, including leading private sector business leaders, and entities such as the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance (KEDA), NW Tech Bridge, WWU Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) among others.

Pending funding, future work is anticipated to include: an on-going accelerator program, intentional mixer events, a startup supper club for local angel investors, pitch competitions, founder launch parties, coworking scholarships for high-potential founders, work around community storytelling and more.

If you’d like to get involved, or if you have interest in funding future Matchstick Lab initiatives, please contact Alanna Imbach.
