They say fools rush in where angels fear to tread...we were so sure there was a market for our high speed internet that we just went ahead and opened Fiber High last spring without a lot of market research. We called it an incubator. Guess what, folks -- we still have lots of space and we're now doing drop in coworking along side our cubicle rental. The bottom falling out of the office rental market has created a glut of enclosed offices stock on the San Francisco Peninsula which doesn't make our bullpen layout look so attractive -- except to co- workers. Are any of the rest of you having this experience?
I'm still convinced there is a lot of enthusiasm for low cost-high speed space to work from but I don't seem to be very good at spreading the word. How are you reaching your potential clientele? There seem to be a lot of postings about new coworking spaces opening. Is that because existing spaces are filling up or are we breaking new ground? Personally, I had what we would now call a coworking retail space in Cotati CA in 1970 so the new ground isn't exactly new to me except that we '70s hippies were self-consciously low tech. But individual stalls with lots of collaborative common area is an ancient idea. I'm glad it's back.
