Hi Susan,
there is also a site of mine for collecting coworking stories in
german language: www.coworking-stories.com. I mentioned it in the
german Coworking group, but some people there try to sabotage ideas
for promoting coworking if they are not their own. It's really freaky,
sometimes like a d
Hi Beth,
We outfitted our entire space with mid-century desks off of Craigslist and from
the UW Surplus store. Each desk ranged in price from $20 - $75. You can't
beat the price, but they are SUPER heavy. As for the rest of our furniture we
mostly used Craigslist and Value Village/Goodwill s
Today we reached our funding goal on Kickstarter for Seed

We could not of done it without the generosity from the coworking
community.

Hello all!!
I am planning on starting a coworking space in Pittsburgh, PA and have
started with a meetup group and events and jellies - I agree with
other posts about the value of building a broader coworking community
that extends beyond finite physical spaces.
That being said, we do plan to ult
I'm actually curious about this too, specifically to hear from coworking spaces
that bought early on or those who have graduated to buying.
We're entering into our 3rd major growth phase and the purchasing conversation
was on the table - it's not left the table, but we've chosen renting (with a
We are currently renting our space. But buying it or another has been on our
minds since opening. Mainly so we're less limited in what we can do with and to
the building, as well as improvements.
To Alex's point about buying a seat on the bus, you also typically don't want
to spend a ton of t
I liked the newsletter. I think your focus on info on entrepreneurship in
small towns is a great idea. There isn't as much on this topic as there
should be. After Beck McCray and her Small Biz Survival blog, quality
information on this topic tends to thin.

All very true, John, but then so is the converse of vague, open-ended
descriptions. But that just goes back to the point that everyone starting
a coworking spce needs to, IMO, provide as clear description of their goals
BUT with the caveat that some aspects are fluid and/or negotiable.
And you're
I would be pleased to provide feedback. I have a background as a financial
analyst and will be opening a space in Canada May 1st.

That's awesome! We're still trying to get there. I'm keeping the faith

Any suggestions on desk chair options???
Hard wood style or plastic vs. upholstered soft style.
If I'm going to sit for hours I prefer upholstered soft style but this can run
$65.00 and up for good quality used chairs and over $100.00 new.

Chairs are tricky. They're very personal, in terms of effectiveness, needs, and
desires.
We've done the office liquidation route for large purchases of chairs, which
have gotten us some nice rolling chairs for <$150/each.
That said, we strongly encourage our members to invest in themselves a
As far as chairs are concerned, we bought a bunch of different chairs from
Craigslist and UW Surplus but we give people the option to bring in their own.
This works pretty well for us as all of our desks are dedicated & permanent.

An ergonomic chair is key. Especially if you stand behind the value in
coworking that it makes work better! You can provide community, stocked
break room, events, etc. but if your members have to sit on a wood crate

In addition, these commercial-grade chairs typically come w/ 5-year warranties.
Check whatever you buy, unless you're ok that you've might have effectively

Did you know 77% of freelancers will be stiffed by a deadbeat client
