[Coworking] Hello, I'm creating a space for fashion designers in San Francisco
Hello, I just joined this group. I am a catalyst working on creating a co- working space in San Francisco, specificaly for fashion designers, seamstresses, and others in the clothing/textile field. I'm currently looking for ware houses. I could use some advice and insight from others who are also doing co-working spaces. best, Johanna :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Coworking group.

[Coworking] Re: Start Up Spread Sheet
HI Rob, I have an 1,100 sqft space in Colorado and with 0 refurbishing, other than changing one paint color, my start up costs were $20,000. I thought it would be 10,000 but the old rule of doubling what you think held true! This space is currently home to 31 members, the majority of whom use the space 1 or 2 days/week. 5 of the members only use the space on Weds nights. Most of my furnishings were custom built by a new designer so they were dirt cheap, the rest were from Ikea and Target. We also inherited our conference room furniture from the landlord at no cost. I do not pay a staff member but I do use 1-3 unpaid interns at any given time who help me and the members with their projects in addition to greeting and welcoming people during the day. Hope that helps :) Angel On Nov 28, 8:31 pm, rob obrien robrien...@gmail.com wrote: I'm launching a space and put together a simple income/expense and startup costs spreadsheet in Google Docs.

Contact Blake Burris at CoHabitat in Shreveport (or Dallas.) The Shreveport space has local government and economic development involvement. And if you find the magic sauce pass it on. :-) Cheers!

Hey Johanna. Feel free to stop by Citizen Space and chat with any of our residents who are around that day. You might also want to talk to the people at The Grotto -- they were doing collective-type stuff in SF before coworking was coworking.

I just wanted to let you know that coworking has made it into the national periodical, Investors Business Daily! They interviewed me a couple of weeks ago and posted this article on their site on Friday. Basically, they wanted to show how landlords have become quite creative and unorthodox in selecting tenants to fill their often, vacant spaces.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Start Up Spread Sheet
I'd love to see somebody start a spreadsheet of things like: - the places that people have successfully found and met prospective members (and places that have turned up bupkis) - successful events that enhance the culture of a coworking community (and events that nobody seemed interested in) - values added by and for community members (and stuff you added that nobody used) Figure out how to organize it, and I'd be happy to contribute. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 4:08 PM, Angel K fccowork...@gmail.com wrote: HI Rob, I have an 1,100 sqft space in Colorado and with 0 refurbishing, other than changing one paint color, my start up costs were $20,000.

Re: [Coworking] Interns helping with coworking
One quick note though: federal rules around internships changed a lot the past year or three, and you have to be very careful about actually educating interns for credit, and not just using them for grunt work. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 Google Voice ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 9:15 PM, Michael P.
