New location alert: we've set up shop in DC! We're still in San Francisco & Boston too, and we still travel all over. But if you know anyone in the DC area who might be interested in a little more curiosity, generosity, and resilience, at work send them our way!

We are off to the races! Stanford graduates and @cocapSF founders; @eduhavens and Karrah Phillips, just delivered a crash course in Design Thinking that has students excited and ready to tackle their design challenges. #Dare2BDigital #D2BD #YoungInnovators #DesignThinking
The @CityofSeattle Innovation & Performance Team and @tjwalha do amazing work, and we're excited to share a bit more about our collaboration with them at the end of last year. blog.cocap.io/seattle-ip-tea…
