In 2011, Clean Slate founder Adam Elliott returned to Portland after a stint in New York. There he helped renovate a warehouse where people could live and work. He saw the potential for something similar in Portland.
Trip Jennings was renting a friend's basement as a place to edit video. It was quiet, lonely and hard to grow a business in that environment. So he got a desk at Adam’s new space and it clicked.
Years later Trip and Adam run Clean Slate together with a goal of bringing folks together in a productive environment. The space fosters collaboration between members and lots of very talented folks rely on Clean Slate.
