Hey Dave, congratulations! To answer your questions - based on early experience (we just opened October 1).
We have 8 members so far and only one is full time....(we're growing though!) Most of the people considering it are looking at part-time membership -- which I prefer as I think that'll be more profitable for us in the long run AND as Alex says -- create a better mix of new blood coming in and out of the facility. We figured it out at 1 person per 100 square feet. This is consistent with a break even / profitability formula Tara put out there some time ago (which was immensely helpful for us). Best of luck and congratulations again! -kb On Nov 21, 4:03 pm, Dave Troy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey folks, > > We're pleased to announce the formation of Beehive Baltimore, the > first formalized coworking initiative in Baltimore! > > We've been meeting informally and are looking to open a space in the > next few weeks.
