Behind the scenes of Camp Flywheel (our internship program!)

Being part of Camp Flywheel (our whimsically branded internship program) means solving hard problems, contributing to needle-moving projects and company initiatives, and...

Our great LaCroix taste-off of 2017

While one of our Flywheel values is “We are hungry,” we also stay thirsty. And when looking for something delightful to drink around the office, there’s one clear winner: LaCroix. A popular alternative to sugary sodas, cans of LaCroix are a signature beverage here at the Flywheel HQ. With an average of 52 cans consumed per day (yep, that’s a real stat we pulled!) you’d think we’d know our stuff when it comes to flavors,...

Our bright and shiny new office!

When Flywheel first started, we were just a few people in a coworking space. In 2014, we hit a major milestone and moved into our very own downtown office. At the time, the 10 employees that made up Flywheel couldn’t imagine ever outgrowing our one-floor headquarters. But as you’ve probably noticed, we’ve done a LOT of growing over the last couple years – meaning our office needed to grow, too! Over the past year, we transformed...

Members of the fly crew were nominated in three different categories, including: Collin Wyler for Student Entrepreneur of the Year Tony Noecker for Technologist of the Year Flywheel for Startup...

April showers bring new Flywheelers!

We hired seven new friends to work at Flywheel, so after training was complete, one of our first orders of business was to get the whole company together for a little happy hour. This gives us a chance to get to know our new teammates a little better, and an excuse to eat lots and lots of guacamole! Here are some of the fun facts we learned about each of them: Austin Moehlenhoff Can you tell us...
