Jelly started in NYC in February of 2006 when roommates Amit and Luke realized that they loved working from home, but they missed the creative brainstorming, sharing, and camaraderie of a traditional office. (Office politics, not so much.) So they started inviting friends to come work from their home one day a week. They soon found that working in close proximity to new and interesting people every couple weeks resulted in new ideas and interesting conversations. Emboldened by their early success, they made it a more regular thing. Jelly was born.
Jelly events have been seen on national TV and radio such as... Wired, NPR's Talk of the Nation, NY Post, CNN, NPR's Morning Edition, Current TV, NPR's Marketplace, and NBC's Today Show!
So lets promote Somerset Jelly and make Somerset a place for working together.
Jelly is a casual working event. It's taken place in over a hundred cities around the world where people have come together (in a person's home, a coffee shop, or an office) to work for the day. We provide chairs and sofas, wireless internet, and interesting people to talk to, collaborate with, get business advice, and bounce ideas off of.
You bring a laptop (or whatever you need to get your work done) and a friendly disposition. Watch this video about Jelly, or read about it in Wired.
