Jennifer Maher, the former co-CEO of 1776, has been named sole CEO.

D.C.-based 1776 merged with Philadelphia’s Benjamin’s Desk seven months ago in a move that combined traditional coworking with broader programming and incubation offerings, writes Roberto Torres at technical.ly

Jennifer Maher cofounded Benjamin’s Desk in 2012 alongside husband Mike Maher, who stepped down in from the company in 2015 to build Houwzer, a real estate startup that raised a $2 million seed round last year from local investors like Ben Franklin Technology Partners and StartUp PHL’s angel fund.

Post merger, 1776 boasts 2,700 individual members at 10 campuses in four states and D.C. All told, the company has 200,000 square feet under management through different avenues: direct operation (their flagship location at the Curtis Center, where Technically Media is headquartered) or licensing deals (their recently opened spot in the Ambler Yards redevelopment.)
