James, betahouse in Cambridge is built around the web startup community, where all the founders were active before we opened. We have a few freelancers and remote workers now, but the initial core group came together through the extensive personal networks of the founders.
I see that you've got good goog placement for 'coworking worcester', but many of the people you're looking for haven't been exposed to the idea yet, so the challenge is getting the word out. Local press is good, and we also spent a lot of time explaining coworking at networking events like Web Innovators, Ignite Boston, etc. If you want to stop by betahouse and talk strategy some time, drop me an email and we can work it out.
