I had the pleasure of being a member at Rize Coworking for three months, and I can’t say enough good things about this space! Having moved from Seattle, WA, and still practicing out of the West Coast, I needed a reliable and welcoming coworking space to continue my work seamlessly. Rize not only met but exceeded my expectations.
The facility has everything you need to operate a business, and the 24-hour access is a game-changer for those with unconventional work hours. But what really sets Rize apart is the sense of community. The staff and the owner are incredibly kind and take the time to get to know you personally, making the space feel like a home away from home.
In addition to being a productive workspace, Rize also offers a variety of fun events that help foster connections among members. I was a bit sad when I had to cancel my membership due to landing an in-office job, but I will always remember my time at Rize fondly.
I've tried several coworking spaces in Seattle, and none came close to the level of activities, warmth, and community that Rize offers. They have plenty of options for space, whether you prefer community tables, your own desk, or even a private office. I chose to work in the community area, and there was always plenty of room, which worked perfectly for me!
I highly recommend Rize to anyone looking for a coworking space. It’s more than just a place to work—it’s a community.

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.
