[Coworking] Collaboration between coworking spaces

2015-08-16 Thread Ashley Proctor 

For those of you I have yet to meet, hello!

I’m Ashley  and I run Creative 
Blueprint  and Foundery  in 
Toronto, Canada.
We’ve been building collaborative communities for more than 10 years now in 
Toronto.

I’ve been really lucky to get to travel the world, visiting hundreds of 
coworking spaces and meeting thousands of coworking enthusiasts at 
international conferences. In all of my travels, there are a few coworking 
communities that really stand out.

One of those spaces happens to be Office Nomads  in 
Seattle, Washington.
The thriving community and sense of camaraderie amongst their members is 
unparalleled, and after almost 8 years of quietly shaping the coworking 
movement I feel they are truly an example for us all. (Full disclosure - I’m 
also lucky to call the co-founders Jacob and Susan friends)

In Toronto, Creative Blueprint and Foundery are partnered within the same 
15,000 sq ft location (The Foundery Buildings) and we are attempting to 
recreate the success of that model out in Seattle. Creative Blueprint is 
launching a new US location on the West Coast 
, IN THE SAME 15,000 sq ft 
BUILDING AS OFFICE NOMADS.

Office Nomads are founding members of the Seattle Collaborative Space Alliance 
 and we are founding members of the Coworking 
Toronto Collective , so we are not strangers to 
the concept of collaborating with other spaces - we like to work together! What 
I am currently searching for are examples of other independent coworking 
communities that have partnered in the same building, or in the same city to 
bring additional facilities and/or resources to their members and their 
neighbourhood.

Please point me in the right direction - I have so many questions :)

P.S.
You can check out the video about our Seattle expansion here:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/creative-blueprint-seattle-expansion#/story 


We’ve been raising funds via Indiegogo, and surprisingly many people have also 
approached us directly with financial contributions and materials.
Feel free to share the campaign - there is only one week to go, and we need all 
the help we can get :)
Every share and every dollar counts.

Thanks in advance!

Ashley

This is very exciting and we are super happy to be working with Ashley.
Are there other examples of spaces coming together like this?  Please
share.

This sounds incredibly interesting and exciting--can't wait to see what
co-collaboration can bring!
