We (Workantile) currently have: 34 full members who get 24/7/365 access 6 affiliate members, who get 1 day/month free and can purchase additional day passes 3 student members, who get 24/7/365 access
We have 28 desks. As I said, none are dedicated. We also have a small conference room which seats 4, a large conference room which seats 10, and a small one-person phone room. A couple of notes: Workantile underwent a change of ownership back in October. Two other people and I bought the organization from its founder. We and Trek Glowacki, the community manager from the beginning, run Workantile. We are putting into place new marketing which, combined with other changes, resulted in six trial member who started in the past two weeks. Of those, three are converting into full members, and I expect two of the remaining three to do so as well. These are not included in the numbers above. We think we can get up to 75 members without collisions, but we will have to see as our numbers climb. Our biggest issue right now is a lack of space to make phone calls.
