As part of our coworking research, we've developed a draft list of US coworking facilities. The list (Excel file) can be found at: http://db.tt/jNpKyiV
As of the end of August, we had found 224 office-based coworking facilities in the US. We also found 28 shared hacker/maker spaces that met our coworking criteria. We included a facility if: (1) the facility self-identifies as providing coworking space or equivalent; (2) it offers a range of membership options (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) consistent with traditional coworking spaces (does not need to provide all); (3) it offers some form of community space and/or activities (this is subjective based on our assessment); (4) coworking appears to be a important part of the facility offering (subjective); (5) the facility is active; (6) the facility caters, at least in part, to those using the space for work-related purposes. As I mentioned in a prior post, this task proved harder - and more subjective - than we expected. Although this estimate meets our research needs, the list is likely not complete and there may be disagreements with facilities we included or excluded. We would welcome any and all feedback and in particular we are looking for facilities we may have missed. My email is sk...@emergentresearch.com or just post here. The list is not copyrighted. Please keep in mind it is a draft. Thanks for all the help. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
