In a bustling world of entrepreneurship and innovation, the need for flexible office spaces that go beyond four walls and a desk has never been more evident. Enter FUSE, a revolutionary concept that’s breathing new life into the workspace landscape, offering far more than just a place to work. FUSE’s mission is clear: to be the ultimate launchpad for businesses, the community and the world.
Founders John Herring and Mike Daugherty found common ground in their faith. John had devoted himself to full-time ministry, while Mike was the CEO of a hotel development company. Their bond grew strong while attending Bible study, and they shared a passion for helping others through nonprofit work.
For the duo, nonprofits were more than just organizations; they were a way to serve people both locally and globally. Understanding the importance of giving back to the community and the world, the business partners’ shared belief led them to incorporate a “give-back component” into their budding business idea.
In May of 2018, the first FUSE opened its doors with a simple yet powerful mission: We exist to ‘do more’ for our members.
More than just a stunning building off 290 close to Sawyer Ranch Road in Dripping Springs, FUSE offers cozy coworking spaces, meeting rooms, event spaces and virtual memberships, as well as private office spaces that you can customize to make feel like your home away from home. Knowledgeable staff is on hand to make things run seamlessly. Their awe-inspiring communal areas make it easy to mingle or network when you need a break, and we can’t fail to mention the coffee maker that rivals a Starbucks barista.
Not merely a place of business, FUSE’s commitment to supporting nonprofit organizations continues to grow. At every grand opening, they partner with two nonprofits, one local and one global, providing not only financial assistance but also valuable publicity to help these organizations gain the recognition they deserve in the community. FUSE also maintains an ongoing education and health sponsorship of a Ugandan child and builds fresh-water wells in underserved communities.
Their dedication to giving back extends beyond grand openings. On a quarterly basis, they select a local nonprofit to support, fostering an ongoing ministry that encourages their members to embrace the spirit of giving.
To further support their mission, FUSE introduced the DO MORE® nonprofit program. This program offers free and discounted services to nonprofit organizations, ensuring they have the resources needed to continue their vital work.
“Connect a need with an opportunity to give back and tie it to an easy method” is Herring and Daugherty’s mission. Making it simple for people to contribute to causes that matter to them. Whether it is sponsoring a child, supporting local initiatives, or making a global impact, FUSE aims to be a platform for positive change.
FUSE stands as a testament to the strength of like-minded individuals working together to create a lasting impact. Their commitment to the simplicity of giving back, whether on a local or global scale, offers their members a special chance to participate in something larger than themselves.
