The series features men and women who have persevered and built a new future for themselves and their companies — even during the unprecedented adversity of the last year. Cherry calls the period in between when a startup first starts to see success and before it has the stability needed to commit to a multiyear lease a “gray area” not addressed properly by either traditional office landlords or the largest coworking operators.
