Grace Kraaijvanger, Founder of The Hivery Co-Working Space, Is Resilience Personified and a 2024 Spirit of Marin Honoree!
The Hivery remains alive and well, even after closing the brick-and-mortar spaces, still after all these years, fully committed to serving women creating their next chapters, unveiling new membership and mentorship offerings, creating pop-up coworking sessions at local businesses, and continuing her Incubator program for women entrepreneurs. She evolved her community and created The Hivery’s Momentum Lab (a mentorship, accountability, and community for women creating solo-based businesses). In the years since, Kraaijvanger continues to blend innovation and resilience, engaging with all manner of complementary organizations to co-host events, including an Own Your Voice event at Assembly, hosting book talks and a fundraiser at Club Evexia in May 2023, a food and wellness fair in Sept. 2022, as well as a collaboration with Poet and/the Bench for a Summer Soulstice Soiree in June 2023.
