John Borthwick, CEO of BetaWorks, and Daphne Kwon, BetaWorks Studios COO and President, joined us to break down the companies new venture. John explained that entrepreneurs, as well as creatives and freelancers, will be able to collaborate in the new Studios tech hub. They aren't the only game in town, however.
