Community
The wildspaces idea spawned from Denver’s DevOps community as a way to provide new and creative ways to rebuild connections between people after the COVID Pandemic moved us all inside for a very long time.
Working from laptops and workstations inside almost every day, we were itching for a way to bring a passion for the outdoors to creative knowledge work.
Technology
Combining high capacity batteries used in electric vehicles with low-latency satellite connectivity and a mobile IT closet, we’ll provide a silent power and network service as you work from the wild.
We don’t allow generators on site, but please bring your battery packs and solar setups. We’ll have backup power if you need it.
