Steve: Your comments are interesting. Do you have any of your research you can share with those of us who need to convince financial backers to support our efforts to launch co-working in our respective cities?
Thanks in advance. -Mike Schinkel Organizer: Atlanta Web Entrepreneurs http://atlanta-web.org -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2008 12:38 PM To: Coworking Subject: [Coworking] Impact of Financial Crisis on Coworking Hi: My name is Steve King and I'm a long time lurker on this site:). I'm a researcher focused on small business and I'm curious how the current economic turbulence is impacting coworking. I'm also interested in how the you think the recession is going to impact coworking and the coworking movement over the next year. In past recessions, small business formation increased due to declines in traditional employment opportunities. And during and after the 2001 recession the number of single person businesses grew much faster than before. The growth rate also slowed as the economy improved. So what do you think?? Will recession increase the demand for coworking space? Will more people choose or be forced to go out on their own?? Will you get more corporate traction as companies reduce their office spaces?? Other impacts?? Thanks for the help.
