[Coworking] Re: Coworking Space Rules
Brian, We don't have any posted rules at Caroline Collective. When people ask how the space works, we explain that it is a work environment with the expected noise from social interaction. We also point to several rooms where conference calls can be taken without disturbing work. Common courtesy is mostly self-enforced.

[Coworking] Re: Understanding Free Access
We structured our business model to include free drop-ins. Based on rent owed for your space, it might not work for everyone though. Because we view ourselves as a community service we want everyone to be able to come in and utilize our services whenever need be. This was especially important following Ike when many people were without power or internet.

In trying to plan a facility I've run the numbers and I don't see how that is possible. First I don't see how you can get people to pay for what you are giving for free and second I don't see how you can make the density work. I understand that coworking is all about providing an open environment and letting people use it w/o signing up is in the spirit of things but in order for us to pull this off it needs to be profitable, i.e. not operating at a loss. Could anyone speak to this please?
