Quartyard by RAD LAB: An Innovative Business Idea and Community Solution

Most cities have unused, vacant pieces of land that go to waste. But it doesn’t have to be that way. At least not according to the three rad guests we have on the podcast today. This weeks episode features the founders of RAD LAB who creatively engaged the San Diego community to solve a problem that has been overlooked by just about everyone. Philip Auchettl, Jason Grauten, and David Loewenstein share the ups and downs and ins and outs of their fascinating business journey that started with Quartyard in San Diego. The guys give us the details of how this thesis project started through Kickstarter and ended up as a wildly popular urban park and event venue that the neighborhood would like to make permanent. They talk about the importance of involving the community in the planning and brainstorming, share how they made the project work financially, and how they were able to profit while giving back.
