The Garage San Francisco is an extension of The Garage at Northwestern. The Garage SF provides programming, resources, and support for alumni founders, operators, and investors in an effort to increase the clarity, collaboration, and connectivity for the Northwestern alumni who call the Bay Area home.
Our goal for The Garage SF is to create a 'platform for serendipity' for alumni to support each other professionally and connect with others who have similar interests, job functions, and ambitions.
The Garage SF operates out of the Third Coast Foundry, a shared workspace at 625 2nd Street in San Francisco. The Foundry is a partnership between Northwestern and seven other leading Midwest universities, providing a home base for university-affiliated founders, operators, and investors in the Bay Area.
