A couple weeks ago, I ran across an interesting an idea – coworking. Coworking is simply a space that entrepreneurs, designers and creative professionals can come to together and work. The people coming to an establishment pay a small fee for utilities, desk space, etc – but it is only a fraction of what it would be to rent out an office at an incubator or buy office space on their own.
Well, needless to say, this picqued my interest. I have always been fascinated by the incubator idea, but I hated the control you had to give the people running the place. For what? Reduced office space.
Well, coworking is a cheaper alternative…
A couple weeks ago I also moved into a new house. The first task was networking all the rooms with cat5, installing wireless and a couple servers in the basement (one for work stuff and one for media), and getting set up. But then I realized that there is a whole lot of room we aren’t using just yet. So?? I think we’re going to open our doors to some creative professionals :0)
After we get started, I’ll probably lease office space with a conference room – but for now, our digs will work just fine.
So, what do you think of coworking? Have you had any experience with it?
