You’ve got a great idea for a start-up, but where do you house it?

Two people work at Dogpatch Labs (via Dogpatch).

This week, we look at how to create spaces that encourage creativity and inventiveness. What happens when you put hundreds of ambitious entrepreneurs in one building? Do great minds feed off each other? What can they teach us about success — and about potential pitfalls?

We take a peek inside the Cambridge Innovation Center and other hotbeds of start-up activity.

Guests:

Tim Rowe, CEO, Cambridge Innovation Center
Gus Weber, Dogpatch Labs
Owen Johnson, founder, managing partnery, Betaspring
