Founder Stories

“Volta One was a cauldron. And not just because the radiators were stuck on high. From the moment we took up residency in 2013, we felt the pressure to move quickly and advance our business.

There was always another resident company wanting to beat you in a pitch competition or recruit your talent. The competitive yet supportive atmosphere pushed us to build our product and pivot quickly. Ultimately, Dash Hudson found product-market fit and moved on from Volta.

It is an important part of our history and was integral to our success.”

Thomas Rankin 
Founder & CEO Dash Social
- Former Resident

"Volta is a space where we can work together, a resource for information and connection. It's a very welcoming place to have big ideas!

We've come to really adore some of the folks that we've worked with over the years and really appreciate them for following our journey and being supportive. "

Laura Simpson
Founder & CEO SideDoor - Current Resident
