[Coworking] Integrating existing teams into a coworking community

At Betacowork we've had teams from the begining, up to a maximum of 8 people. It all depends on the people that come. Some are well-integrated and participate, others just want a convenient and cheap desk. We try to actively integrate all, but know that some are lost cases and don't spend much e

Re: [Coworking] Competing Spaces

It "takes two to tango" ! We'd love to collaborate with the other coworking spaces in the area, but one of them is hell bent on competing with a "we crush our competition" page on their website with erroneous info about our space and I'm sure others. On Sunday, March 3, 2013 2:17:25 PM UTC-5,

[Coworking] Integrating existing teams into a coworking community

For the past two years, since we first opened our doors, we've been chugging right along serving the needs of independent and remote professionals on the *individual* level—freelancers (with the occasional intern), remote employees, one-man startups, etc. And that's been great; New members are

[Coworking] Re: Competing Spaces

I've worked for a while cataloging and researching coworking spacesI've got some pretty interesting metrics regarding populations and occupancy, so I'll put in my 2 cents I've found that Coworking is almost a cultural thing - if you cross reference the most populous cities / densest busines

[Coworking] I love when journalists actually TRY Coworking instead of just writing about it.

Re: [Coworking] Competing Spaces

It's great to see you're considering coworking with your local space owners and managers, Jonathan. It starts with friendly outreach. Have an idea of what you want your local organisation/collective/association to be like, and share that vision with the others. Let them know that you want to disca

We've tried a few different things over the years. We've pooled resources to participate in a tradeshow at our local Small Business Forum, and to attend a Sharing Economy Event. It's hard to measure the impact of our presence, but for a few hundred dollars we talked to a thousand potential new me

Aaron - that's a good point. I think the numbers are very similar in most cities. I'm not sure what critical mass is but after 6 years and around a dozen coworking spaces created in Brighton I'm still regularly meet people who have never heard of coworking. Ashely - I've been wondering if it mig

Thank you Susan! I built up to that point rather than putting it first as I've experienced first-hand how difficult it is to take that kind of leap as an introverted outsider. :) Sadly it's even harder for people who have already committed to a lease on a space of their own. On 7 October 2014 23
