Steve Thanks for the feedback. We (LiquidSpace) are in discussions with a number of large enterprise clients who are interested in evaluating coworking venues as a component of their workplace strategy. They will be using LiquidSpace to locate and connect to spaces, so I can attest that this potential is very real.
Corporate clients will without a doubt seek corporate class terms, policies, operating practices etc as they have in their use of Office Business Centers and this may not be something that some Cowork operators want to embrace. However, for those who are open to this, I foresee a large user base coming our way.
