Brooklyn, NY — Creative Factory Club, the open incubated coworking initiative by Poise NYC, is gaining traction as one of New York City’s most accessible and impactful spaces for entrepreneurs, particularly women- and minority-owned businesses. Located inside Elite Williamsburg, this open-concept hub is more than a place to work — it’s a strategic launchpad offering marketing, procurement, and mentorship support to the small business community.
Launched as a pilot in 2024, the Creative Factory Club (CFC) has since grown into a full-service resource center for early-stage businesses that need more than space — they need guidance. CFC’s mission is to close the gap between small business vision and actionable execution, through 1-on-1 support, brand development, public sector access, and an embedded marketing team — without the high fees often associated with agency services.
“We intentionally designed the Creative Factory Club so that startups and small businesses could access a marketing team — real guidance — without incurring the cost of a full agency retainer,” said the Poise NYC team. “We know the pain points. Most small business owners are figuring out branding, marketing, and procurement on their own — often without a roadmap. We’re here to provide an alternative that delivers custom support and hands-on education for every stage of growth.”

“Being an entrepreneur is a spiritual journey,” said Klara J., CEO of Poise NYC and Director of Marketing & Creatives at Creative Factory Club. “As a small business owner myself, I know how critical real support and access to resources are. That’s why we created a place where fellow entrepreneurs don’t just work — they build, thrive, and grow side by side. We’re here for the fulljourney.”With an ecosystem rooted in collaboration, affordability, and mission alignment, Creative FactoryClub is redefining how coworking can truly support small business advancement.
