My name is Mike from Leicester in the UK. I'm a telecoms/network engineer and I've been familiar with the concept of collaborative spaces for a while*, but only recently found a label to describe the concept.
I have been looking around the local areas for a while and although incubators and managed spaces are fairly common none seem to take the step beyond and encourage collaboration as part of their primary objectives. I've spoke with a few people over the last year or so, and many are eager to, if not jump on-board straight away, at least learn more about how it could work for them. If there are any other people within the Midlands area then I would be happy to discuss things further with them. I don't think that such a venue can turn a sizable profit without being very innovative, so I am not afraid of competitors; far from it. I would rather jump on board with another local project with similar goals than try to compete for the same people at two separate venues.
