10 minutes early on my first day at Vector Textiles and I am introduced to our employer, Mark Self, and his corgi, and then immediately ushered into the work space. We have a table in a communal area with other companies around us, and then we start our tour. We’re located in HQ Raleigh, a sort of hub for startups in the Raleigh area. The lobby of the building has a plethora of lounge chairs to inspire discussion and networking. In addition to this, there is a coffee bar that offers everyone free coffee and fruit throughout the work day. On the second floor, there are many offices that people can rent to springshot their companies to success.
We start out the day with a quick team meeting, and then begin our work. We utilize team software “Slack” to organize our research to eventually present a final presentation on how to effectively distribute Vector Textiles’ product. After three hours of work, the team heads to Cook Out to fill up on some tasty treats. Upon our return, we dive right back into researching and finding potential companies to license Vector Textiles’ product to. Looking forward to the next 7 days of Work Experience.
