Citizen Space was the labor of love of Chris Messina and Tara Hunt of Citizen Agency. From September 2006 until November 2006, they negotiated, dreamt, built, bought and created a space that they could call home and thought others could, too. See how they built it out! In March 2011 Citizen Space was acquired by Toby Morning, CEO and Founder of Urban Technology Ventures, a seed investor in minority tech ventures.
