The Back Story

Danny Wen and Shawn Liu, the founders of Harvest, have always enjoyed taking tours of creative and entrepreneurial workspaces. No matter what size, they found the spaces always fostered inspirational energy. From forming the company in a tiny shared office to Harvest’s current home in a Soho loft, Danny and Shawn recognize how instrumental those behind-the-scenes experiences were along the way.

Today, Harvest HQ has become a gathering point where the founders invite others to visit their workspace and share their tools of the trade. Alongside their friends and colleagues creating innovative products in their cool studios and offices, it’s time to bring the community together for a citywide “open house” of technology companies. The goal is simple: to put New York City’s vibrant tech scene on the map and to inspire each other and the growing generation of entrepreneurs.
