Hi Brian, I'm in the planning stages for coworking in Fort Collins, CO. I started a meetup group for people interested in coworking and already have nearly 30 members and 10 signed up for the first meetup. Am using meetup to reach out to independent workers....first meeting will be informational about the concept of coworking and will gather everyone's thoughts about it and how it could be implemented in FC. Already had an impromptu focus group and got the most excellent and consistent feedback about what services should be offered, location preference etc. Here's a link to mine if you want to look at it. http://www.meetup.com/Fort-Collins-Coworking/
I can see myself using meetup in order to host various jellies once the space is up and running. I have also posted a poll for people to respond to and have a question up that people can answer regarding location preference. -Angel On Jan 6, 1:25 pm, brian difeo <[email protected]> wrote: > Here at the Hive at 55 <http://www.hiveat55.com>, we are a little over one > month old and are considering ways to get potential members through the > door.
