Re: [Coworking] New to group - Coworking Management and New Business Ventures

[Mark]

Ha ha that's typical - as my journey to the conference has been planned 
somewhat last minute, I'm going to be arriving on the Wednesday morning at 
silly-oclock and then leaving again on Friday afternoon! 

Obviously I'm consoling myself with actually making it to the conference at 
all - until last week that wasn't even a possibility - but it will be a 
shame to miss out on the "top and tails" - I promise to try harder next 
year! ;)

If a meetup of UK located coworking space people happens then I'd love to 
be involved - even if it's just to say hello and start listening to the 
conversations that take place!

 Hi Mark,
 I started a coworking space in Plymouth England  - another city that 
 didn't have a coworking space, nor more than a few people who knew what it 
 was. I spent over a year, almost two, running pop-up coworking days 
 (jellies) to introduce the concept to people, went to every networking and

 person - felt confident that we could get a space and make it work. It was 
 a hard slog, but the space is now running reasonably well, (although I 
 have

 collaborate with the City Council, the University, and the Arts College, 
 not to mention all the digital professionals and creatives. It truly has 
 become a community hub.

 Happy to share more of my experiences separately and listen to your

 a 
 fantastic group, and a genuine positive spirit which is a joy to find 
 these

One of the reasons why I'm interested in building a community is to make

in the various entrepreneurial ideas that I have.
Currently I run a traditional design agency which is predominantly print 
based and because we're based in a "standard" office at an out of town 
office park the opportunities to meet new people and make new contacts are 
limited, particularly in the web/app development arena.
As I'm looking at moving on and doing something different in the not too 
distant future, coworking looks like a really good fit for me personally 
and also professionally, and I was wondering if any other coworking 
managers/hosts have any experiences of working with people who operate in

Hello, all,

I think this is a very good moment to mention that the European Coworking 
Assembly is organizing the Friday Farewell, after-conference get together 
after Coworking Europe.

And that we are now talking about having smaller meetups during the 
conference, in the runup to the Friday Farewell.  It seems to me that we 
might work together on this!

Woo hoo, collaboration.  :-)

We are mostly working in a Whatsapp group, though we can also work through 
email. Or we can brainstorm here on this group, I don't mind dancing in 
public.

Mark, I owe you an email which you will be getting today.

Best,

Jeannine

Let's do it!

I'm sure there's space (in the corner of a pub somewhere) to put some UK
folks together. We might be a little backward (so far) when it comes to
coworking but if nothing else we're a curious bunch and keen to learn.

We are however "british" which means that some of us will be reserved,
cautious and downright suspicious of other people telling us how things
"could" be done but screw those people, this is the new age!

Hi Mark,
I started a coworking space in Plymouth England  - another city that didn't 
have a coworking space, nor more than a few people who knew what it was. I 
spent over a year, almost two, running pop-up coworking days (jellies) to 
introduce the concept to people, went to every networking and meetup group 
I could find, and eventually - after joining with another person - felt 
confident that we could get a space and make it work. It was a hard slog, 
but the space is now running reasonably well, (although I have now moved on 
to other things, and still enjoy working there!). Mostly though, the space 
has been a catalyst for bringing together like-passioned people for various 
community efforts that have been great for the City. We collaborate with 
the City Council, the University, and the Arts College, not to mention all 
the digital professionals and creatives. It truly has become a community 
hub.

Happy to share more of my experiences separately and listen to your ideas. 
You are right to look to this group for ideas and feedback - it is a 
fantastic group, and a genuine positive spirit which is a joy to find these 
days! 

I'll ping you off line to continue the discussion,

All best,

Sabrina

Re: [Coworking] New to group - Coworking Management and New Business Ventures

[Mark]

Hi Tony - that really does seem like a good solution doesn't it?! 

Sadly, after 7 years together my business partner and I have stopped seeing 
eye to eye on a number of details - one of which is around where the 
company is located, so alas, moving my existing company isn't on the 
table... :( in fact, it's got to the point where me staying at my existing 
company isn't really on the table! 

I think coworking will become a new venture for me, one that I'm very 
excited to be a part of, and to begin with I like the idea of being able to 
focus on building a community and a space, without the distractions of 
running an agency at the same time and in time, I hope to explore other 
options.

No doubt I will be frequenting this forum on countless occasions in the 
months and years to come - it certainly seems like an amazing resource and 
the feeling of community among operators is unlike anything I've come 
across in any industry!

Welcome to the movement, Mark!

Have you considered getting a larger space that your current agency could
be the anchor tenant of?

There is a ton of precedent for agencies that create "hybrid" spaces that
are part company office, part community space. Each side of the business
helps to support the other.

It's one of the few sustainable models I've found for coworking on a
smaller scale!

[Coworking] New to group - Coworking Management and New Business Ventures

[Mark]

Hi all, 

I'm new to the group and currently looking at opening a coworking space in 
Leicester, UK.

One of the reasons why I'm interested in building a community is to make 
connections with developers and other contacts as potential collaborators 
in the various entrepreneurial ideas that I have.

Currently I run a traditional design agency which is predominantly print 
based and because we're based in a "standard" office at an out of town 
office park the opportunities to meet new people and make new contacts are 
limited, particularly in the web/app development arena.

As I'm looking at moving on and doing something different in the not too 
distant future, coworking looks like a really good fit for me personally 
and also professionally, and I was wondering if any other coworking 
managers/hosts have any experiences of working with people who operate in 
their spaces?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Mark
