Yes, of course, the obvious! & Thank you for your article "How To Fund Your Coworking Space" http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2011/09/how-to-fund-your-coworking-space/ Funny, this enlightenment actually came to me last night, could not sleep!
Questions; What are legalities of signing contracts with potential/new members? Are you suggesting an adapted L.O.I. agreement? what do they actually sign & how (is on-line enough? in person)? what must the agreement include? What is the promise, "we will have a space by x time or will refund your $ by? And what is the proper way to collect, use and account for funds? (hoping to not have to refund ;) Lawyer needed for all this? OURSpace San Francisco is VERY close to becoming real! We've been very patient with the process, assembled a fantastic team, found a location and are in process for purchase. We are working with & seeking investors (it's a BIG project, need BIG funding - will be worth it!) Have the city/neighborhoods' support & many inquires from interested members. Now, yes, need $! Yes, of course, the obvious, GET MEMBERS on board now! Thank you for this one & SO many other great informative conversations!
