Who We Are

Port & Starboard was established in 2015 by Jeff Werby and Lisa DeNoia, two friends and coworkers driven by a common entrepreneurial spirit, and a creative spin on problem solving. They wanted to find local technology talent and needed a place to work from, so they started 1701, the first coworking space in Virginia Beach. Running two start-ups requires long hours, so with Jeff’s dad, Bob Werby, they started a third company — Fathom Coffee. Today, Port and Starboard is fueled up, and excited to channel our business savvy, creativity, and tenacity towards helping your business succeed.
