We calculate our numbers around monthly members and focus our efforts there as it's the best way to build community. We want folks in the space, day after day, building relationships with each other. We use drop-ins as a way for folks to try out the space and make sure it's a good fit. It's not a significant contribution to our revenue. Over the almost 2 years we've been open we've had almost 300 people come through the space.
