Introducing Catalyst

I’d like to introduce Catalyst, a small business incubator. Catalyst is a space for 2 creative entrepreneurs to get started in a workspace that promotes getting things done.

Right now the space is occupied by Spencer Creelman Visual Communications and Organic Games.

We’re actively searching for our next two tenants. Do you think you would fit in well? Give us a shout!

Twisted Oak Studios offers consulting and development on high-tech interactive projects. Check out our portfolio, or Give us a shout if you have anything you think some really rad engineers should help you with.
