Building Businesses Through the Power of Community at Office Evolution

Some business partnerships are born in boardrooms. Others, like Leon Fooksman and Matt Tabin’s latest venture, are sparked in coworking spaces—proof that the right community can make all the difference.

Leon is the co-founder  of TAPinto Boca Raton, a hyperlocal news website that delivers around-the-clock, objective reporting alongside a robust digital marketing platform. It’s the newest addition to a growing portfolio of community news outlets, joining TAPinto Coral Springs and TAPinto Coconut Creek. But this new launch didn’t happen in a vacuum—it was the direct result of a professional connection made at Office Evolution.

Leon and co-founder Matt Tabin at 2am.tech, a software development company recognized on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, met through an introduction by Office Evolution leaders. What started as casual conversations in the hallways of Office Evolution quickly grew into a business partnership. Within six months, they co-launched a new company—a story that exemplifies how OE’s collaborative environment fuels real growth.

“We heard about Office Evolution from colleagues and their marketing, and chose it because it’s not only a comfortable and convenient place to work—it’s a place to truly collaborate,” Leon says. “That collaboration paid off in ways we couldn’t have anticipated.”

“I wanted to get further involved in meeting and being part of the local community. I also saw an opportunity, as a founder of a business that has had a modicum of success and tenure, to build something that could provide value to other local businesses,” said Matt Tabin. 

Leon and his team use a mix of services at Office Evolution, including dedicated offices and conference rooms where they host regular meetings and presentations. But beyond the physical amenities, it’s the OE community that makes the difference.

As Leon and his team continue to expand their news and advertising operations, Office Evolution serves as their headquarters—providing the infrastructure and network to scale.

With a growing footprint across the country and international expansion on the horizon, Office Evolution continues to be more than just office space. It’s a launchpad for entrepreneurs like Leon to build, connect, and thrive.
