The trick is to have real economic impact. Stop thinking of your space as subletting office space to freelancers and two person companies. Instead have the vision to change your city and be a piece of infrastructure for the type of people that are employable for jobs most cities want to have. I am really interested in talking more about this kind of thing at the SXSW meetups.
