I'd love to! We decided to open the space about a year ago when my business partner and I (we run a video production company) were looking for coworking ourselves, but couldn't find anything that was a good fit for two reasons, 1. everything around austin was either very tech focused or very

Hey Jensen, I think many of us can relate to you when you try to build a coworking space with a community first approach but end up with a lease bill and no or very few members. You are ahead of the game and it looks like you'll likely break even in the spring or sooner. If so, you're ahead of

[Coworking] Updating Pricing

Does anyone have experience updating the pricing of memberships? Specifically, I'd like to know if anyone has a guiding philosophy on how pricing changes affect the rates of existing members. Do they keep their old rates or do you bump them up with the pricing change? Any guiding theories for

I think I'm going to go with getting a new router and then switching over to Unify because of the sold reviews and set up. I've mapped out where people work. I would love to move over paying for one internet connection and I think this will make it possible. -- Visit this forum on the web at

We went 5 years without raising our rates and I consider it on the short list of our bigger mistakes. When we announced our rate change, many members said, “it’s about time!”.  When we announced the change, I made it clear that if it put stress on anybody, to come talk to me. I was so, so,

Craig, Unifi APs should work with any router. I don't know anything about Asus in particular. At the very least you'll want to disable any WiFi currently provided onboard the Asus router. On 2 December 2014 at 00:04, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking baut...@gmail.com wrote: Can I

Doing a little more research on these Unifi APs and found another HUGE selling point: they support Power Over Ethernet (PoE). This was one of the biggest selling points of the Ruckus APs for me, because it meant we didn’t need to ALSO run power to the ideal location; we just needed to run

That's pretty accurate for us. So far, anyone we've lost have dropped out either for personal reasons or because it just wasn't a good fit. Strangely, we had one person who signed up for a permanent desk, set up his computer and never came in for three months. He then cancelled and told me
