Not sure if this list is still dead.

However, I had been reading in a few places that Adam Neumann claims to
have invented coworking as a business modelin 2008.
But I can't find the actual quote.

Anyways, how is the list doing?

[Coworking] Plan your exit or growth. We're live with a place to buy and sell your coworking space

[Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking]

I've been in the coworking industry for over 9 years and I'm tired of 
seeing spaces close down and communities get broken up. Succession planning 
is something we've been kind of bad at, and it's difficult to talk about.

DenSwap , a marketplace to buy or sell your *coworking 
business*, is now live with listings across the US. If you are looking to 
grow your business through acquisition or if you want to cash out while 
keeping your people together then check it out. We are making it easier to 
get connected with growing chains or investors that want to enter the 
coworking industry. We want to match the right space with the right 
entrepreneur that will move your space forward.

Here is a sample listing of a good space in Seattle that is selling for 
$59,000 


Here is another one in Austin that has a strong community, very profitable, 
and selling for $445,000 


If you do want to list, know that you are not required to share the name of 
your space away. You are also not required to accept any offers. You set 
your own price.

*Do you want to know how much your space is worth?* Check out a coworking 
valuation calculator we created at www.denswap.com/calculator.html

I am here to answer as many questions as possible about this. Please shoot 
away. I've been in the industry for over 9 years as a community manager and 
owner of my own space. I believe that communication and knowledge sharing 
are the things that have made this such a special industry to be a part of.
