Ex-Googler and Ex-Facebooker Start Invite-Only Workspace Sunfire Offices

A unique spin on the concept of co-working space, Sunfire Offices was started three months ago by ex- Google engineering manager Niniane Wang and and ex-Facebook engineering manager Yishan Wong. While there are plenty of other co-working spaces in downtown Mountain View, like Hacker Dojo and Plug In Play, Wong and Wang, not satisfied with the available options, decided to create one of their own.

So they rented office space and got funding from a number of angel investors including Keith Rabois and James Hogan, who completely sponsored the space, meaning that Wong and Wang were then able to offer it rent free to other startups and individuals working on personal projects,?Our goal was to build a co-working space focused on top-tier talent.?
