From the SFChron article –
On Monday, Kansas entrepreneur Dan Rasure plans to reopen the downtown San Francisco workshop as the first step toward rebuilding the chain.
Rasure is CEO of a new company, called TechShop 2.0, that’s leased the workshop on Howard Street from the building’s landlord, 5M Project LLC, owned by The Chronicle’s parent company, Hearst Corp.
Rasure, 35, said he plans to run the company with an eye toward remaining profitable. Part of his business plan includes investing in early stage startups that might use the space and then making a profit if the businesses do well.
“TECHSHOP 2.0 SAN FRANCISCO LLC” is registered as a Kansas, LLC. as of 1/20/2018.
At the time of this post, I emailed sanfrancisco@theshop.build asking about the name change as well as Dan Woods the CEO of TechShop, if there is a reply, the post will be updated.
Update 3:01pm 2/17/2018
TechShop, Inc. nor any of it’s wholly-owned LLC’s have a relationship to or agreement with the parties who are apparently opening a makerspace in the former TechShop San Francisco location. What we know is what anyone else who has been reading social media knows.
Dan Woods
CEO
