Nathaniel, It's an awesome idea and probably one that my members would love to dig into and maybe help out with. Feel free to come by the space sometime soon!
There's a lot of coworking or coworking-related activity going on in Brooklyn, with a lot of variety in environment and amenities between them. Off the top of my head: Green Spaces, The Change You Want to See, Ditmas Workspace, Treehouse, Brooklyn Creative League, Hot Pot, 3rd Ward, and one or two unnamed projects as well. You should definitely say hi to as many of those folks as possible. Matt, thanks for thinking of me :) Best, Tony------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- *New Work City - Coworking NYC style.* *Phone:* (888) 823-3494 *Email:* 3...@nwcny.com *Web:* http://nwcny.com *Twitter:* http://twitter.com/nwc On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 12:40 PM, jennie - green spaces < jenniene...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Nathaniel, > > We have a Brooklyn co-working space called Green Spaces - > www.greenspacesny.com. > Great group of people - around 60 people are part of the space - > primarily social entrepreneurs.
