Title: 2012-05-18 Bitcoin's Hogwarts: San Francisco Tech Space "20Mission" to Open Post by: PawShaker on May 19, 2012, 07:11:57 AM Quote Bitcoin's Hogwarts: San Francisco Tech Space "20Mission" to Open in August May 18, 2012 Jared Kenna, formerly of TradeHill, and Jonathan Ryan Owens of RingCoin have teamed up to launch 20Mission, a huge 41-room tech space project in the heart of San Francisco. The goal is to open 20Mission to tenants on the 1st of August. Finding tenants will apparently not be a problem, as the reservation list has grown quite long, with prospective tenants even stopping Jared on the street to get in on the action.

Dwolla stole TradeHill's money and tried to justify it by retroactively changing their TOS to allow chargebacks. It's been rehashed around here several times.

I find it a shame that the project folded and nobody rescued it. Bitcoin needs a second wind with some new blood and ideas. A think tank like 20Mission would be a powerful opportunity for Bitcoin minded people.

I was in SF about a month ago with a commercial real estate appraiser and we actually stayed and 20 Mission and took Jered to lunch to discuss it. I think he has a pretty good shot at making some good money with it. And it is a lot of fun with a lot of entrepreneurial activity. |
