Great experience, although a short time due to weather related power/internet outages across the entire area. Rize is professional, clean, and very easily accessible! Highly recommend.

Rize is a wonderful space to work from, or hold meetings and other community events. I worked from there for a couple weeks while in Bangor visiting family and I wouldn't have been able to be as productive anywhere else. The desks and workspaces are set up great and there are lots of other amenities available. I highly recommend checking out their CoWorking & Collaboration facility!

Thank goodness for Rize! We live in Machias, Maine, and our veterinarian is located in Brewer, which is a two-hour drive away. A couple of months ago, on leaving one of our pups at the vet for an all-day procedure, I had the bright idea that I'd park myself at the Bangor Public Library to do some work. Unfortunately, whatever libraries once were, many are no longer conducive to deep thought, and Bangor's facility is no exception. What to do?I've known about collaborative, coworking spaces for some time, but I'd never actually taken advantage of one. I wasn't even sure if Bangor would have something like that available, so imagine my delight when Rize turned up in my web search. I drove over and met Ashleigh, the owner, a real peach, who gave me the grand tour and allowed me to “set up shop” for the remainder of the day.I honestly cannot gush enough about this place. Rize offers up both dedicated longer-term workspaces, as well as short-term “flex desks” one can book on an as-needed basis. The facility is clean, comfortable, and quiet, and has a modern and friendly feel that's a pleasure to work in. Additionally, the facility sports speedy internet service, a kitchen with all the amenities, free coffee and tea, meeting rooms, two sound-proof booths for private telephone conversations, and, no doubt, many other things I'm either forgetting or unaware of. All this for what I'd consider a song, and money well-spent.All told, Rize is, to me, an oasis in what would otherwise be a difficult situation. I've availed myself of its services twice more since my initial visit, and will continue do so whenever the opportunity arises.Check out Rize today! You'll be glad you did. :-)

Urgently needed good internet and a room for a job interview, and found Rize. I’ve never worked at a coworking space before, and they have far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

As someone new to Maine, I highly recommend Rize for anyone who appreciates: 1. A 24/7 access to an office space with uninterrupted Wi-Fi, electricity (i.e., two Internet service providers and a back-up generator), and an all-in-one copier. 2. Non-intimidating opportunities to connect with people in various fields (mostly working remotely). 3. A young business owner who is well connected to the local business community and willing to connect you to the right people.

This place is an amazing space to work or meet with clients. It is spacious, clean and welcoming. I have used the conference room to meet with some Medicare clients and it was perfect! Ashleigh is always nearby to help make everything flow smoothly. I highly recommend you check it out if you haven't already!!

I LOVE Rize. It's my go-to work space when I am visiting the Bangor region. It's like a "home away from home" with its community atmosphere and networking opportunities. I'm able to be incredibly productive at Rize with high-speed internet access, conference rooms, sound-proof phone booths, and printing services. The owner, Ashleigh Briggs, is an incredibly accommodating and creative resource. If she can't answer your question or solve your problem, she will connect you with the person who can. I highly recommend Rize and can't wait to visit again!

My partner and I worked here for a day while traveling - it was perfect. It was quiet (even though a small conference was going on there), it had any amenity you'd need, and the staff were so kind. Much better than other coworking spots we've tried, honestly made me want to open a coworking space of my own! Would absolutely visit again if ever in the area.

Awesome experience at Covort! A friend and I were looking for a place to work for the day while passing through; Ashleigh was super accommodating and we were able to get into the space on extremely short notice. Coffee, tea, and snacks available at no extra charge, space was generally quiet and we had a great experience overall. Will definitely visit again if we're in the area!

I had the pleasure of vacationing in ME this summer with family. I found out the day before we left for our trip that I was selected as a finalist for a job that I had been applying for, but was not confident that the WiFi would be strong enough for 4 hours of zoom interviews. I began looking for co working spaces near where we were staying and stumbled upon CoVort.They were so responsive to my inquiries and questions, so positive and really open about what they had available. I was looking for a conference room that I could use, and needed to be confident that one would be available. They had two different options for day usage. Ashleigh was so helpful and I really appreciated that while she could have easily made more money off of me, she was very honest that the conference rooms would very likely be available (first come first serve) if I arrived by a certain time in the morning. She saved me over $100 and there were plenty of rooms available for me when I arrived.Everyone who was at the office was so friendly and helpful, from helping me get my computer set to the wireless printer, to helping me find the best lunch spot post interview. If I lived in Maine this would be my go to spot for sure! When you work remotely, it can be easy to miss the feel of co-workers and if I could pick a space, CoVort would be it! The amenities were amazing, from the little kitchen to the bathroom complete with floss, feminine products, bandaids and other little toiletries. They have all the details to make you feel right at home!Thank you all so much for allowing me the opportunity to utilize your space and making my interview a home run!

Fantastic space and people. Ashleigh was such a help in getting some particulars squared away. Thanks for a great work-away-from-home experience!
