All of our members pay dues, have equal access to the space, and thus equal benefits. There are no tiers, discounts, premiums, or differing levels of benefits.
However we do have a few membership types, distinguished by who pays dues and who is covered.
Hobbyist Membership:
The most common option - you pay the lowest dues, and only you get membership or an access card.
To keep expectations reasonable and protect our tools and equipment, we ask that Members who want to use the space for commercial purposes beyond prototyping (such as batch production of a product for sale) upgrade to an Entrepreneur membership.
Household Membership:
You pay a bit more in dues, and you get an access card that can be shared by your whole household! (Secondary members must share the same physical address, and be declared at signup.)
Entrepreneur Membership:
You pay about 2 members' worth of dues, and your use of the space for commercial purposes will be allowed and supported. If applicable, your employees can occasionally come into the space with you, as guests. Contact the board if you want to arrange for multiple access cards.
Corporate Membership:
For established organizations with multiple employees who want to Sponsor us and/or get multiple access cards, reach out to the Board of Directors (especially the VP of Development).
