WOW. In under 24 hours, we've raised pledges for over $9000. Over $6000 of that has been paid via paypal.
*That said, I'm putting new sponsorships ON HOLD.* I think that we will be able to come up with new, shared value propositions to allow more spaces to find themselves sponsor links on the coworking.com homepage. If you feel like you missed out, PLEASE DON'T. This is NOT the end. It's only the beginning! I promise I won't be running off with your money :) If you've pledged, or attempted to fill out the form and did not pay via paypal at the end, I'll be sending you a paypal money request. I'd like to ask that pledges are paid by end of business day tomorrow. Once again, this has been incredible, and went much much much faster than I thought it would. I'm so proud of this community, and look forward to sharing the value of our new domain together! /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 5:32 PM, Alex Hillman <[email protected]>wrote: > Awesome, Raines.
