History
The American Underground has provided workspace, resources, and a vibrant community to startups and entrepreneurs since 2010. First located in an underused basement in the historic American Tobacco Campus -- hence the name American Underground -- the AU now has several locations in downtown Durham and houses hundreds of startup members. Inspired by Durham's century-old entrepreneurial legacy, the AU is building the counter-story to Silicon Valley -- a diverse startup scene that is rich in innovative ideas and deep with civic engagement.
