About THE SANDBOX

Combining a love for entrepreneurship, creativity and adventure.

The SANDBOX Santa Barbara was launched in January of 2017. Founder Kyle Ashby grew up in Goleta and after some time in Hawaii, San Diego and Los Angeles he started working in tech in the Santa Barbara area. After a number of dot com roles as a designer and project manager he realized that building new business ideas and bringing people together was his passion.

Flash forward, and THE SANDBOX Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Paso Robles are now owned by Kyle Ashby and operated by great teams. THE SANDBOX has become the premier workspace for creative, lifestyle focused and tech entrepreneurs, small businesses, non profits and remote workers who want to get things done, build their network, and take part in SANDBOX programs in event.

Our Values. Our Community.

There is no way to quantify the value of meeting the person who shows you how to finally start that venture you’ve always dreamed of, experiencing how Photoshop can turn your ideas into reality, or discovering you’ve always possessed an aptitude for creativity or technology.

Watching the seemingly random connections happen and businesses sprout up in and around Goleta is what fuels us, and we live by a some simple mantras;

Give First.
Respect Everyone and Every Idea.
Care for our Environment and Community.
Get Sh*t Done.
Get Outside.

Commitment to the Environment

THE SANDBOX is driven by our passion for adventuring in the coastal communities where we live, paddle, ride and explore.

We are the only coworking space in the United States that has pledged 1% of our revenue to organizations that support our environment through or 1% for the Planet membership. We work closely with a handful of environmental organizations to help raise awareness and funds to keep our oceans clean, our environment cared for, and reduce the amount of waste in and around our venue, including making all events plastic free.

We are also an active business member of the Blue Business Council we strive to work for the environment and ocean as much as we do our members, partners, friends and families.

Cheers and Mahalo!
