Cool space with high ceilings and open environment. Apparently they also allow events to be held here.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am not a member. I went to an event which I bought a ticket for. I have not used their member services so this review is not about those. I like what they are trying to do and have been interested since hearing about the Riveter a few months ago. What I saw of the place did seem nice and the staff that I interacted with were nice. The event that I went to was about sustainability in businesses. Frankly, I felt like it was a bit of a Starbucks advertisement, which was a bit disappointing. There were a couple of other panelists who I felt had so much to share and they had actually started their own businesses. I was disappointed that there was not more of an emphasis on their experience and instead the emphasis was on a corporate giant. Starbucks does great work but the members at the Riveter and the target audience are people much more like the other panelists starting from the ground. Also as a side note, I didn’t see anyone else that looked like me there. While I was not necessarily expecting it, it would have been nice since the Riveter seems to be geared more toward inclusion, but this is Seattle. I might try another event at some point. I do think that they have a lot to offer and that others should go and visit.
The Riveter preaches, "diversity and inclusion" but their demeanor and behaviour towards certain people (especially white males) and industry peers (WeWork, Rocketspace, or Industrious) suggests otherwise. In these modern times, it is truly disappointing to see an organization in this case, headed predominantly by women, finding it necessary to relegate an entire people based on their appearance and bash their competition in order to gain an edge. Sadly, the leadership at the Riveter is guilty of practising the same sexism it so rails against.
The team at The Riveter is amazing, and so is the space. When you're there, you feel as though you've walked into a room full friends and supporters. The community engagement events are a fantastic addition, and are centered on female empowerment, which is so inspiring. I have no doubt The Riveter will continue to inspire and make waves as it grows. Thank you, to The Riveter, for paving the way on behalf of women & wellness!
Superb event venue with a stellar staff! Thanks for hosting us!
