zWORKS has a new website! It’s big and it’s bold.
The new setup will help enrich our community of members by keeping them updated on different news and events at zWORKS, as well as things happening in our entrepreneurial ecosystem. Everything is easier to find.
If you’re a developer, designer, project manager, or just interested in tech, register for the third annual AT&T IoT Civic Hackathon on April 20 and 21 in Fishers!
The Hackathon is centered around public safety. Attendees will help create apps and hardware solutions for first responders. The judging will be based on articulation, originality, creativity, implementation, and applicability to public safety theme.
It’s back. zWORKS is partnering with Zionsville Community High School for the second annual Shark Tank.
ZCHS students with the Zionsville Business Professionals of America will pitch their business ideas to zWORKS member “sharks.” Bring the whole family and invite friends to come watch . . . there will be pizza!
Pitches will begin at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 5 at zWORKS (85 E. Cedar St.) and last for an hour. zW member judges include Andy Clark (250ok), Matt Prasek (Safekeeping), Megan Glover (120WaterAudit), Jacob Schpok (Elevate Ventures), and Paul McCoy (ActionCoach).
If you’re one of the zWORKS founding members, your pint glass is available! To pick up your glass, either attend a zWORKS Happy Hour every third Thursday or contact Kate Swanson at 317-727-7324.
From pro golf to web design
Since he was young, Brett Atkin has always loved building things. He said if the PGA Tour wasn’t his dream, he would have been an architect.
After his four years at Butler University playing varsity golf and many more in Florida eyeing a tour card, Atkin started working on websites and hasn’t looked back.
“I like building things and I like seeing things from start to finish,” Atkin said.
He got his start from a random encounter in 1997 with a home improvement business consultant and he hasn’t looked back. He started Brett Atkin Design 17 years ago and recently rebranded to Pixel Jocks.
“We’re the jocks of the internet,” he said.
Dan Moyers joins zWORKS startup
A zWORKS co-founder is living out the zWORKS mission: to be an economic development catalyst.
February’s Member of the Month is Dan Moyers who recently joined one of zWORKS’ own – 120WaterAudit – as the VP of Products and Solutions.
After six years with a consulting firm, Moyers made the move to an early-stage product company. 120WaterAudit is a water-sampling company that sells water-testing kits to ensure quality throughout the year. They joined with zWORKS a year ago and graduated to 10 ½ S. Main St. this past winter.
Our Dusty Boots Tour is tonight! Happy Hour is from 5 to 7 p.m. and we will head over to the new space at 5:30.
We’re getting closer to opening our newly renovated work space at 75 E. Pine with seven meeting rooms. This will provide an assortment of options from private offices to collaborative spaces to conference rooms.
