[Coworking] Re: The Centre for Social Innovation is opening its business model!

[Chad Ballantyne]

Ya - I wasn't posing it to to help solicit for the Centre - only to show what one very successful centre is doing in Toronto Canada and how after 5 years they've decided to multiply.  I agree that all we have learned and continue to learn through co-work group is invaluable.  Wouldn't hurt to inquire as to the full scope of the "goods"  If most of us are in the $100/hr studio rate - it's a 4 hours value of investment - not a bad price to glean from a successful co-work model.  If I get any more info sans website - I'll post away!
