Hi all! Thanks for all the great work you are doing promoting coworking and inspiring others, like myself.
I'm in the development process of starting a coworking space here in Fairfield County, CT. I had the privilege of meeting the gang at The Hive @ 55 yesterday and walked away with a ton of new ideas for how to get this idea off the ground. (thanks, Daria and Brian!) I'll be combing through the past posts and continuing my online research, but any first-hand feedback on how you all got started would be great. Did you start by building a community and then finding space? Start with a great space and build from there? Did you need outside investors? Was a kick-a$$ biz plan the secret to that? Did you work with your local city gov't? My background is marketing and publicity, and my company is www.bookingauthors.com - a publicity firm specializing in sourcing and securing speaking opportunities for our author clients, the majority of whom are business experts and "lifestyle" authorities. I'd love to offer ideas for creating low-cost events in your co-working spaces by leveraging a new book's "promotion" window and other potential marketing ideas for developing new customers. These are the ideas that keep me so jazzed about starting my own coworking space, so I'm happy to share! Thanks again and I look forward to getting to know you all! Have a collaborative day!
